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

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
It's weird because they framed this year as THE YEAR for primes. And now it's time gated tot he next 2 years, sespite us having visuals of the designs. This isn't like earthrise where they's hide incredibly cryptic clues about future releases or have an easter egg like a tiny kingdom galvatron barreling through space on some boxes, we have like full reference for some of these guys, the figures are visible and ready going by the leaked copies of 86 megatron floating around the aether, these are clearly being stocked somewhere, what's the fucking hold up?
This year we're getting: Megatronus, Solus, Prima, Alchemist, Micronus, Alpha Trion, Onyx, and Star Convoy. Next year we're getting Vector, Quintus, Amalgamous, Nexus, and Liege Maximo.
 
A new 3rd party company is making a leader size Tidal Wave that can combine with the legacy Armada Megatron mold, looks interesting, hopefully the price will be reasonable.
EDIT: According to BBTS the price is $75, which isn't horrible.

He's way too small to scale right, but I can tell he's likely made to insert into the bigger tidal wave's back or was at least probably intended to at some point. Still looks great in terms of figure, at least visually.

Apparently, it can do that, but I'll probably just get it instead of the titan class version.

it looks like it has the same inaccuracy as the titan class version in the fact it doesn't fold up but instead partsforms to transform. I'm never going to stop being upset about that. Good figure but cut short from beign the definitive tidal wave due to that nonsense. Of course they'd have to do it like that thought to make it fit in tidal wave's back in this case, though. The earlier "oh it's not possible with modern engineering" shit reason for why they didn't just make the new tidal wave transform like the old one will never stop being BS though. They've done shit with springy backs of knees before to let legs articulate, and titan budget should 100% allow for that.

Oh wow that bizzarely hard to get online scalped to shit exclusive 5 pack wheeljack's getting a second rele-wait why is it devastation and not ss86? I mean the 5 pack wasnt framed as ss86 either but that's blatantly what they were going for.

I just double checked and it's actually got more paint than the 5 pack one. It's still clearly aiming to be g1 cartoon more than devastation specifically. I've still got gripes about the toenail windshield on this version of wheeljack but that's unrelated.
 
Lazy fucks couldn't even give Bumblebee Bumper the right car.

All I really want is the Jazz with better windows that don't snap at any given moment. Can we have a 2-pack with that and a retooled Cliffjumper while we're at it?

Included in next year's listings were SS86 Cliffjumper, Hound, and Sunstreaker.

it's funny because the bumblebee from a few 4 packs ago in like the first one I missed out on was homaging bumper without being him by using the cliffjumper alt mode. this is just bumblebee with a different head. This will probably end up scalped like that first pack did due to magnus and nemesis both being locked to it.... that's not even covering the next in line of unreleased titans return figures these keep including.

the hound and jazz are likely why scalpers scooped up all copies of this 5 pack and want over 300 dollars for it or the individual figures.

I don't know how durable the dramatic capture 3 pack jazz's windows are but I've heard he's a bit more solid from seeing comments about him. Visually he's just the same as the first studio series one that had that issue though.
 
It looks like the Megatron curse might finally be broken, just as we get a comic Megatron who’s finally back to being a ruthless tyrant and not a “didn’t no nuthin”

Between One, Skybound and SS86 Megs looking good, I’m very satisfied with a good Megatron being one of the final pieces of my collection, just as one of my favorite villains finally gets the recognition he deserves.

But seriously, holdout lads, the silver repaint is what you want, that retail grey they use is disgusting.

One of the leaked listings for next year is an anniversary release of 86 Megatron, no clue if it'll be cell-shaded, battle-damaged, or premium-finish/silver.
 
Is Micronus riding himself? Hilarious if true. Alpha Trion is either going to have a lazy ass transformation or something completely wacky.
 
Holy shit it's an incredibly greebled version of the g1 cartoon's young alpha trion. Sucks it's not a reissue of the one that came out a few years back but it's still really nice looking. Is that supposed to be just a random book or the fucking covenant of primus? Probably the latter, even if it's technically not the color it's shown as in anything as far as I'm aware.
They made Micronus a pretender, the shell turns into a unicycle(?)
It's more like a scifi one wheeled motorbike than a unicycle.

Two immediate examples that come to mind.
