Old thread is no longer bumping, carry on here!
(Last time on The Transformers: >>9960823)
So Optimus Prime is now, uh, a camera? Genuinely not sure if it works or not.

I've never even seen or heard about this guy before, but I'm quickly falling in love with this design. My only problems are his weird plastic (although I knew what to expect with a Cyberverse figure, it seems to be a given) and his tiny little feet. But besides that, wow, feels like a lost early Universe/Henkei figurine aesthetics-wise.

That's because they're stupid sheep that can't think for themselves.

During the week of SDCC Gofag was away for some reason, perhaps getting a ancestry test done to see if he had any Jewish blood in him, and the threads were perfectly healthy even way past bump limit.

To those wondering about Tarn and Bludgeon potentially sharing a mold, it's pretty likely for a few reasons.
Several incarnations of Bludgeon have had tank treads on his shoulders. the bayformer one, RID2015, and Cyberverse. Just like Tarn
Secondly, the G1 toy has an arm mounted turret, just like Tarn has.
Lastly, any Tarn toy is gonna have major compromises to his transformation given that it's pretty complex and probably wouldn't work for anything short of a commander class, and Tarn's a voyager.
In fact, considering we're getting a leader class armada megatron, who has tank tread shoulders, and could VERY easily be modified to become Tarn by just having his tank treads fold in half, a lot of signs point to a shared mold.

However, so far no voyager in legacy has had a retool. That's a pretty big knock against the idea.

The clear plastic is 90% of why i like him so much. The sculpted silver mechanical detail visible underneath that translucent pearlescent shell was just intoxicating. And because of how clear orangey plastic reflects light, it seemed to glow with an internal fire. It was just a great looking toy.

The MP gets a lot of shit, but I kinda like it. The transformation is involved, but satisfying, yet still not nearly as much of a clusterfuck as the more recent ones.

I've actually been trimming down my MP collection though, and have been thinking about selling mine for cheap. It's not a KO, but I snapped the thumb off one of the hands and had to glue it back on. It's in perfect condition, otherwise.

But the Earthrise one was just a retool of the Siege Cybertronianone. The only way he was "perfect" is if you are comparing him with the shitty CHUG one from the 2000s. Ironhide is a popular character, there's frankly going to be better future versions down the line. It doesn't justify the outrageous effort people went for that figure.

yes. that actually looks like an ant, not a scribble from a beginning artist.
the main compromises to reality are the thickness of the limbs and the size of the spikes, but they gave him equally large knee spikes to try to make it look even and realistic. There's also those visible robot pelvis parts, which would have been better integrated into part of the ant 'waist'

There probably isn't anyone out there who agrees with me, but Classics/Henkei Ironhide is my favorite. Yes, he has flaws, but I still really like his design. There's a lot of cool stuff going on, like the techno-mess under his chest window and clear/chromed taillights. I also really liked his dual blaster/sword weapon, and he had a lot more articulation than other figures at the time. This guy has swivel hinge wrists and ankle rockers, he can really pose.

I can still appreciate figures with flaws, and this is a great one in my book.

well once again you have it wrong. While yes, the bigger eyes are not accurate to fire ants (or digging ants in general), they are accurate to SOME ants, and were definitely not a 'deliberately unrealistic' detail. More of a mistake.
whereas antennawise.. real ants have much longer antennae than either toy, so the older longer ones are more accurate. I know you want to push this idea that the push for accuracy has ruined these beastformers, but if that is true, it's by complete accident. because the results we're getting, the mistake parts are not more realistic.

well given that his name is inferno, at least someone had that on the brain. and the vague look of the head, mandibles, antennae, and thorax kinda bear that out. but it is entirely possible he was made as generic ant with the idea to recolor him.. and they might have, if he hadn't shelfwarmed. i would have bought the hell out of a black one
and this new one, crappy as it looks, I might get its recolor. as long as it's not trying to be inferno, it's not so bad.

why are we even arguing about this? it's fuckin stupid. It's clear that in the Xtreme 90s, they made a sculpt that would look cool over realism. An now, for whatever reason, they have decided that realism is the ticket for homaging a 90s Xtreme-era show. That's what's truly baffling.

Beast Wars altmodes were never great about realism. Most of them just tried to look as cool as possible.

I mean, at this point it would probably only cause distress for a handful of people. This was a Botcon 1998 exclusive, that's ages ago. As I noted earlier, there aren't even any for sale anymore, just the box. So the only ones who would be upset would be a few nerds who were hoping to scalp for big bucks someday, and nobody cares about them.

>>9965490
Totally agreed, some clear smoke plastic mixed in there would have looked great, I'm still happy with it as-is though, the lavender head was the perfect choice on top of all that gloss black. It makes me think of an elder vampire in a suit of armor.

Because you're trying to dictate the rules of how people should be posting here based on your own autistic preference. If the dude was posting a new general every few pages, then sure he'd need to fuck off. But crying about someone starting a new thread when the old one isn't bumping anymore and is on the tail end of the catalogue is bitch behavior.

I mean what's better, one maverick doing whatever he wants against the wishes of everyone (explicitly making that his goal), or several people loosely agreeing to some rules that serve a purpose? the slow board is the real enemy. if /toy/ were faster, we wouldn't have this problem. but right now, a thread spends four times more time past bump limit than not. which means if we keep making one every bump limit, we'll have more and more and more threads up.

There's a difference between Fire Ants (which rea native to South America and have made their way as far north as Texas and Nevada) and Red Ants (commonly seen pretty much everywhere). Fire ants are orange with black, have large jaws, and a retractable stinger laced with venom in their abdomen - this venom leaves a severe burning sensation and is what gives them their name.

>>9965631
well that still wouldnt be too hard to make a good Inferno out of. it's the same basic idea as the red ant's body, just seems to have more of a waist and a smaller abdomen.
I guess I can see a few cues from that in the new toy, the jaw shape kinda.

Oh yes. They're also known to take down large animals by swarming en masse, crawling into whatever orifices they can reach, and injecting their venom through thousands of stings from the inside until their victim is dead. They're terrifying, and accidentally disturbing a Fire Ant hive is a good way to die horribly.

This set of figures is basically a prototype Transmetal 2. Its funny how Takara and Hasbro would keep cross referencing eachother with the beast lines

>BW loosely based on JP designs like Guyver and Mircroman
>HasKenner does BW with them, Takara makes their own Beast figures for BWII
>HasKen sees Galvatron and the cyborg beasts in BWII, coopts the sparkcrystals and hybrid beasts bot Transmetal IIs
>Takara sees the Transmetals they're making have three modes, uses that for BW Neo, Magamatron is a big fuzor
>Hasbro takes the Beasts vs MAchines setup of BWII for Beast Machines>Takara sees Hasbro wants new vehicleformers, start making their own, also make Gigatron who's like a blent of Transmetal/Beast Machines aesthetics
