So I went to get my boy some transformers for christmas this sunday and I realized they now make Transformers that don't transform at all.

Thats fucking retarded and I hope you guys burn down the house of the executive thats trying to take you for all that cash.

Those are RED, it’s a sub-line created by a retarded spic who’s fucking it all up.

His hands were also varied. Sometimes they were green, and that was before we learned he could manipulate electrons.

Not a bad size, Transforms nice and compact.

Not Transformers related, but has anyone checked out the ZBobtoys diorama sets? They're rather expensive but if you're into photography they would look good. They come in 1:6 and 1:12 scale. They're probably nicer than the FreshRetro 1:24 and 1:18 scale ones.

I haven’t bought ZBobtoys stuff but I have bought from Twelve World, they do good work, solidly built, good packaging and well painted.

What. The. Fuck?

I hope this is a troll, Breakdown is the only concerning one. I’m just glad they didn’t make Dragstrip female (thank god,) but this is really fucking retarded if it is true. Why do a Sunbow Menasor and not make the components Sunbow?

Does RED not get that Transformers that don't transform are just Formers?

They wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have QC issues,. paint problems, and the sizes being off. They were supposed to be for people who wanted action figures with all of the articulation of the Black series Star Wars figures. So far the best they had was Soundwave.

The reveals just don’t stop cumming, Buzzworthy wave 2.

SS86 Cliffjumper, B-127 with normal head and what appears to be a Kup repack.

EDIT: I was wrong, here’s a comparison.

DNA Designs version of the Arks filler pieces look really good. Still needs some forearm fillers. New hands are also nice.

Juqi Toys version was just meh. You could barely see any detail on them. They do however fill out out the triangle shape the Ark has and gave more width to the calves. Colour matching also seems to be better than DNA Designs if you're not one for repainting figures.

Still waiting on Shockwave Lab carrier for the Ark too. Hopefully they can figure out a way to incorporate some LED's into it so I don't have to take a dremal to it and do it myself. Currently they just have plans for the eyes. The thrusters could use some lights.

Wonderful, two Knockouts on toy shelves and an Ultra Magnus that is coloured like dental floss.

It is pretty progressive that a Knockout figure is made out of a material that has more than likely been used to make dildos. Bravo Hasbro!

This kit really shows how badly budget cuts hurt the Ark, I ordered one. I might come around on the Ark and these kits go for crazy prices when they sell out.

I fear what 2022's Titan class is going to look like. I have a feeling it's Tidal Wave as it's not hard to turn that Ark mold into Tidal Wave, even having him transform into three different vehicles. It should keep the need for gap fillers down to a minimum, but I doubt it with how much materials cost right now.

You don’t know? It’s Cybertron Metroplex, he leaked back in September.

That’s right, rather than G1 Metroplex 2.0 they went with the stupid excavator/man squatting.

I heard that they're doing that but given how simple that is to do they can make a Decepticon Titan since they like to switch up the faction releases. I don't trust forum leaks anyways until I see the toyshow actually show the new figure.

As you can see in this picture it has the form to be a decent Tidal Wave. You could make new arms and legs that detach to become the separate vehicle leaving the torso to need some extra work.

Older digibash of it

I’ll always take the Takara/anime colours and I gotta admit it does look pretty good.

But I think a new, dedicated Tidal Wave is on the horizon. Cybertron Metroplex is evidence that they’re willing to take (big) risks.

Still very weird that the first UT Titan isn’t Tidal Wave.

I'll believe it when Hasbro confirms it. All there is is a post that originated on Seibertron. That site hasn't been a trust worthy source for years.

Hey I hope we’re wrong. I sincerely hope that our Titan for 2022 is NOT Cybertron Metroplex, Tidal Wave, G1 Metroplex 2.0, or even the Nemesis are preferable to that retarded excavator. I really hope Lenny isn’t that retarded.

The true Nemesis, not that that half-assed former battlestation that Trypticon turned into.

So it seems the source of this admitted it was all BS and the only part that's still real is Wildrider's chainsaw.

Why do third party companies seem to go for predominantly Legends and MP scale while ignoring the middle-of-the-road scales? I feel like the Voyager scale is the best size, since they’re not overly huge like the MP’s but also aren’t overly fiddly like some Legends transformations can be due to the highly limited size.

Fun fact, it looks like SS Soundwave’s alt-mode might’ve been inspired by one of the GI: Joe crossovers.

Because CHUG-scale is Hasbro’s bread and butter and no 3P wants to fight with Hasbro, they sometimes do it though. There was a fantastic leader-class Fortress Maximus a few years back.

Thank god.

The writing is on the wall. Way too many sources reporting this shit now. I think IDW is fucked.

In particular I found this tidbit interesting:

>Sources say that Hasbro has not been happy with the publisher’s output in recent years.

You think it was stuff like this that made Hasbro upset?

I don’t know why a toy company would be upset with one of their on the shelf action figures ranting and raving about killing not-immigrants and not-lesbians.
