Transformers general thread - Toy Robot men based on giant robots based on previously mentioned toys about said robots

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Well okay than, least it looks good with the Optimus Prime one. I still prefer the Starcream ones though

Face sculpt is nice. It needs a good paint job though.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Looking forward to Skyquake the most. I'll probably get a few to repaint.
I'll need a few Shrapnel's too

Should have images of Twincast, Bomb-Burst, and TM2 Megatron soon
So we'll also be getting a new Beachcomber, an Armada Megatron, and finally a Dion, even though it's just another Scourge.

 

[Cyclonus]

Does anyone else remember the ladybird audio books?

And there's lots more. The stories are actually pretty good. Shame Optimus has such a wimpy voice though.

 

[Victory Leo]

Shoulders aside Metalhawk looks near perfect. probably the only chug thing I'll get this year.

Snarl got leaked today, PrimevsPrime maybe in trouble for it.

Looks like we're getting Snarl and Swoop this year.
Also, damn it! I like the personality and voice of Mirage in Rise of the Beasts. It's like a cross between Jazz and Mirage so it makes more sense why Jazz is called Mirage. I also don't mind the new figure, though I just want that head sculpt for some customs.
Legacy Chase sounds like it could have potential as does Rock 1 & 2 (Rook?). I can do without another Windblade. Sureshot is probably just another Mirage repaint with a target master, but I've been waiting for a proper Sureshot. New Gears means a potential new Swerve so I'm all for it, plus I always liked Gears. Tazmanian Kid is probably a reshelled Rattrap. Though this would mean you can recolour it to be Snarl and Bound Rogue.
I'm also pretty sure Windsweeper will just be a repainted Needlenose. Not a bad thing though.
Snarls Looking good though. Just need Swoop as soon as possible.

Scarr is supposed to be an Ankylosaurus. I don't see it. He looks like a Cotylorhynchus

Shatter Glass Grimlock looks great in robot mode but I can't say the same for Dinosaur mod

This isn't bad

Wasn’t that a long time ago

I believe that IDW went off and retconned the whole Trans thing. Also in G1 she's female. These social justice people are retards and just looking for things to complain about.

I believe that IDW went off and retconned the whole Trans thing. Also in G1 she's female. These social justice people are retards and just looking for things to complain about.

It's not even "trans" in the normal way, it was a case of "all the transformers were male but then crazy scientist man with a cult made one into a female and then she went coocoo crazy with hatred and wanted to murder him for it or something". They then later went on to introduce other female transformers that were just female transformers without the weird alien gene modification torture aspect basically retconning the "no other female transformers before the one guy made them" thing. There's the one actual tranny one though also from IDW they bring up sometimes but I don't remember there ever being a male version of them so it could literally just be a pronouns thing.
Anyways, the IDW comics have been completely rebooted so yeah unless they brought back that bit of lore to the new universe Arcee isn't trans. Twitter is fucking retarded.
Speaking of retarded shit this reminds me of the shitshow from a while back when they made a new transmutate figure for kingdom and the character bio said "she". Pronoun police went nuts because the original appearance of transmutate only called her "it" or "this thing" completely fucking ignoring the fact the reason why she was referred to like that wasn't a gender thing and was a dehumanizng language about a deformed and disfigured transformer that couldn't even transform thing.

Anyways, I finally got the remake of Armada Hot Shot and everything is either weirdly too tight or too loose on my copy. I kinda hate how you can't put the visor in the proper position due to mine being packed clearly based on the stock photos where they have the visor pushed up all the way back till it looks like headphones. I can SEE how it got warped but due to it being hard clear plastic I don't know if I can push it back. Aside from that, the fact the leg armor, collar, and fake windows inside his arms don't have any paint, and the car hood backpack facing the wrong direction compared to the actual character animation model, it's a perfect remake. Just wish they gave him his minicon partner instead of doing what they did with doubledealer where he's got integration for them but it's probably gonna be released in some box set in the near future. Speaking of which I never got double dealer or his partners partly due to that lmao. I'll post pics later.

Missed out on the Victory Galaxy Shuttle preorder. Looked around, the cheapest option was… importing it from Canada. Ok, odd. Maybe that got a lot there. What about the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Worlds Collide? Gotta get me an evil MONKY. After some research, the cheapest option is… importing it from Australia?

Usually when it comes to multipacks I find getting them loose is cheaper as there's always people dropping figures they don't want for cheaper than what the box is worth unless it's a Marvel boxset.

Unfortunately I’m a completionist slut and I only buy loose figures if they’re duplicates or have the complete packaging included. That said I have no problem buying a damaged box since I plan on opening it anyway. I just got a Creatures Collide set for $20 below MSRP because the box had a dent in the corner.

Some of the angles on this aren't bad but if he's on your shelf facing you then it just doesn't scream "Bulkhead" to me. I like the alt mode though

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

...robots?

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

That is the dumbest 30 seconds I've seen in a cartoon. If this ever get's released in Japan the re-write will be the first decent Japanese Transformers cartoon.

I dig the truck mode, and the idea of using Grapferno as Bulkhead isn't terrible, but man that head is just atrocious and doesn't remotely fit the rest of the figure at all. looks like they literally just took an existing cad file of a TFP Bulkhead head and threw it on this thing.
