Barring some shitty IDWness in the designs here and there, there were excellent toys all around.

You’re retarded. These were very light. As much as I don’t like the current Deluxe price, I say they’re at least a bit denser feeling. Compare current Quickstrike and Venin to even Tarantulas from Legacy who felt like picking up air.

So TLDR, while the price has gone up, at least they’re slightly denser at the moment

Deluxe probably has the greatest variance in mass
Look at new Animated Bee vs the new Ratchet
Ratchet is more than twice the amount of plastic

Got Amalgamous some days ago and there's something that baffles me about it. I was expecting to have way more freedom when rearranging his parts, but there's a design choice that limits creativity a lot, and it's something so stupid and easily avoidable that I don't understand why they din't think about it. The thing has a lot of 5mm holes, and that's great... but what's the point when most of his components don't have pegs? Most of them are in the body part, but every single piece should have at least one peg, that would make the number of configurations rise exponentially. It feels way too restricted for something whose selling point should be "build whatever you want with it".

Nonetheless he passed the dinosaur test, so I guess he's alright.

So Hasbro's never going to re-release the Bat Optimus vs Gator Megatron pack again, and they'll never repaint the Bat Optimus into Nyx?

>>11730152
Jetfire is a repaint not a redo. Titan Grimlock is a redo since they're redoing both the character and the old toy with a new more bigger and more accurate toy.

>>11730011
This isn't difficult. A "redo" is when Hasbro decides to take another swing at making a toy of a character. Sometimes this can be a retooled version of a previous mold (such as the Siege toys for Springer and Shockwave getting extensively remolded for SS86), but more often it's just a whole new attempt at a toy. For example, SS86 Thundercracker is a redo of a character who most recently had gotten a toy in Earthrise. It's a different mold with a different aesthetic, but it's still Hasbro making a new attempt at a mainline toy based on the same guy.

So a redo could be an old mold retooled, or an entirely new mold. The main thing is that it's Hasbro releasing a new toy of the same character.

Hmm... Got ideas on how we'll ever get static, non-separating versions of the Armada Skyboom Shield and Requiem Blaster someday? Because if you ask just about anyone, wanting to find the combining versions amount to either "buy the third-party versions" or "look for the originals."

>>11730672

>Megatronus has Requium Blaster
Where'd the Skyboom Shield go

>>11730347
New one looks better, it has more sculpted detail and that makes a better toy. Left looks cheap because it has no detail. Like a real uncanny valley or something.

>>11730671
3D Print.
Surprised to see that someone actually wants a plastic solid shield though, I never used mine from the 3P Fanshobby set.

>>11730703
Another Prima Artifact. But if we give each of the individual components of Nexus Prime a piece of the Cyber Caliber, one of the components has to be the Skyboom Shield. The other components would be the Chaos Edge, Omni Saber, Terminus Blade, and probably the Proton Spear (if the rest of Onyx Prime's spear in his toy isn't already said Artifact).

>>11730705
It's kind of the logic on Wyatt's designs on pretty much any of his works. They feel flat, and it's actually a good thing that makes for some good toys (not everything has to be perfect, though).

>>11730705
>New one looks better, it has more sculpted detail
The aesthetics of these new animated figures don't make sense because they're just sticking the animated character's head and smooth, flat front section onto a blocky G1 base with more sculpted detail and it all clashes too much. There's no consistent aesthetic with any of these animated figures because they have no idea what they want to be and it suffers for it.

Old one looks way better due to the unified aesthetic

2010 Lugnut and Lockdown were fine. Back then they took those designs and reimagined them so they would have a consistent design aesthetic. These new animated figures have the same issue as the prime figures where they feel like halfhearted attempts to try and fit the animated aesthetic with the current blocky generations slop but because that's all they know how to do they can't actually create a real aesthetic out of it.

>>11730348
outside Wreckgar (and maybe Bee's fiddly transformation) I think the animated figures turned out pretty well. much better than half the Prime cast

>>11730725
True, that's the case on the 4 pack Autotropper, give it the Animated head & it's off, the KP head works wonder on his cubic body

>>11730730

I'm always willing to shit on Hasbro's retarded decisions but I've never gotten the extreme dickriding Takara gets, even when they're to blame for designing the figures. (after all, I've read people trying to reduce Hasbro's participation to just an ideas guy). Sure, I guess I can buy some design issues being up to budget cuts pushed by the american side,but other baffling design decisions are entirely the fault of the Takara designers.

What is the most successful way to recreate the G1 waist "underwear" in your opinion?
>Upper thighs have waist detail that rotate with the leg (SS86 Megatron, SS86 Hot Rod, Legacy Gears, SS86 Dinobots, etc.)
>Waist is one/two loin flap(s) that conceal round upper thighs connected directly to T-shaped waist (SS86 Optimus, SS86 Ironhide/Ratchet, SS86 Soundwave, Earthrise Seekers, etc.)

Ohh that's choice. Really the best solution for those physics-breaking G1/Gundam/Brave waists where the thighs bend but the underwear doesn't. Either that or have the thigh joint slide down somehow.

>>11730861
So the old Busou Shinki/modern girlpla thing where the thighs are attached to an armature inside the body that swings down and dislocates, rather than connecting to the hip, which is free-floating? I guess that's one way to do it.

Thinking about it critically, Magmatron might be a better attempt at Nexus Prime's main theme than the official Nexus Prime himself. If we got a Jet/Helicopter, Speed boat/submarine, and tank/truck/train for Nexus in the same vein as Magmatron, I think we all would have been more pleased.

>>11731070
People have been shitting on Takara ever since MP went to shit and we literally just had 2 threads of people calling Ejima a senile retard. Takara is just the lesser of two evils. Most of Hasbro's decisions and how they've handled the franchise is far worse than what Takara has done because for all their faults, Takara will occasionally do cool shit

>>11731070

Chest design based on the G1 Skyquake yet use it again for Dreadwing
Shoulders are ugly
The absolute boxy ass limbs is easily the worst aspect. It lost ALL interesting design, curve and stylization to just become another ugly box frame guy who lays down and turns into a flying coffee table
Even the colors are noticeably worse

At this point it's just another "will they won't they" leaning heavily towards "won't". Hell we haven't even got Thunderclash and he's way more popular.

Agree to disagree. It is honestly one of the better prime updates. It stands out as it's own take on the character. If you were talking about bulkhead then maybe I would agree with you.

He can, just fiddle with the nozzles on his feet. He only has issues standing if you fuck up the torso transformation.

>>11731215
Surprised your SG Starscream is still that white. I pulled mine out of storage recently and it's starting to yellow at certain points.

>>11731292
Yup. And with Target basically ending exclusives, trying to get this Hound will be impossible unless Hasbro needs to find some kind of miracle.

Also, what sucks is that Powerglide's alien mask only fits him and him alone, and there's no way to fit said mask to anyone else because of custom pegs, as Powerglide has a rotating face.

>>11731305

Who do I listen to?

>>11731378
Personally, I like the white Magnus version of the mold they did for the Target four pack.

>>11731379
Same. Never got the G1 Optimus since I already have tons of them but I ended up liking the Magnus one so much I went back and got the Legacy G1. It's just so simple and easy and fun and makes a good desk toy. I hope we get a Nemesis, Sentinel, and even Toxitron version at some point. It's like Missing Link but doesn't feel like I'll break it by playing with it so much.

>>11731368
>In before that one guy presents his manifesto about how he should be silver instead of grey.
Are there really people who question that? Of course he should be silver.

Blast Off (CW-inspired repaint of AOTP Slingshot) vs. Alpha Bravo (CW-inspired repaint of AOTP Vortex) 2-pack when?

Nobody cares about your weirdly specific hang up over Megatron and literally no other character.

I like him alot

I will admit I am a optimus prime slut and I had a big fondness for the G1 toy but legacy G1 prime is fun. Nice update to the classic transformation, solid possibility, great light piping for the eyes, 2 guns! He is a fantastic desk fiddle former. Only real complaints is he really needs some paint or toyhax stickers to make the details pop, the pegs on his guns can be odd as they and his hands are painted and some may prefer him to be in a bigger size class.

>>11731329
Jokes on them. Now I always wait for the second or sometimes 3rd release and get either whatever comes with the best accessories or what goes on clearance and to ROSS.

Damn that's a shame, I assume the wheels leak plasticizers or something? Does this effect other parts on legacy prime or does the melting mean the tires damage other plastics/toys they rub up against?

I have had mine out on a shelf or on my desk since I got him and if I do store hin he will go into a baggie by himself like the rest of my stuff. Wonder if I should start putting a pin hole in baggies to let them off gas.

He really is excellent and I should grab the Legacy Optimus too at some point. G1 toy Optimus has such an iconic look, but I can't bring myself to spend money on the missing link and, as you said, the beauty of the cheaper toys is that you actually aren't afraid to play with them. And if we aren't playing with our toys, then what the fuck are any of us even doing here?

>>11731434
Seriously and where the hell is my white SS86 already?

>>11731305
So are they just making exclusives no longer a thing in target or were going to see the transformers sections on target get smaller?

>>11731524
The tires don't affect the rim/sliver wheels, only the blue plastic that composed the legs.

>>11731509
I think it will slowly get back to normal but the surface affected will not be unmarred. Not a big deal because most of the contact points are rather hidden.

I have my deluxe G1 prime taped with paper masking tape around the contact points. It should work as the tire melting issue only came into being with direct contact going from past experiences.

>>11731530
The answer is yes.

...
Even the Missing link primes do this. Not a big problem because the g1 design the tires don't get in contact with anything BUT...
having both the cartoon and toy version, I forgot which one, when in cab mode, the under carriage of the arms will touch the tire if you don't line up thing 100%

Hell even the earlier reissue G1 hound, when I open it, the tire have already ate through the paint/plastic on the outer side the arm because that side would be facing next to the rubber wheels.

So

but man, the tfw2005 posts about the reveal have got to be the most retarded thing I've ever seen. Because the figure was revealed with a limited exclusivity thing for Hasbro China so many lead-poisoned troglodytes on the forums were thinking it was a Hasbro asia exclusive thing and not a mainline release, even after it was explained to them. I finally understand why people hate the tfw2005 boards now.

>>11731727
I dont see how anyone is excited for these.
Were at the stage now were people are fucking stupid enough to pay Hasbro 300-400 for a combiner that would of been 100 if sold in stores.
Then we get the lies of 'stores wouldn't stock it so you had to pay the haslab tax' yet is actually Hasbro just didnt want to sell it in stores because just like their 'selects' line this is designed to fleece people.

These look awful to boot. They look like 30 dollar kos. Hasbro TFs already suffer from hollowed out legs/arms and waists but these just look like simplified kos.
The leg bots have wide shins that dont fold inwards, liozack is too small, the arm jets look like reused combiner wars aerial bots.

Yet hasbro are charging more for a toy that looks like a simplified ko and can anyone trust Hasbro after the recent shit with their factories and cutting corners?

Maybe it’s just me and my dumb financial illiterate hind-brain, but I feel like people always judge the prices of figures without accounting for the diminishing purchasing power of the dollar as inflation increases over time. (And to be clear, economically speaking, that’s normal and it’s supposed to be doing that.)

Like yeah, I remember when Voyagers were $20, but 20 bucks could get you a lot more in general back then.
(And hopefully you’re income is also at least keeping pace with inflation, so $20 is also easier to come by.)

Sorry. Got busy the last 3 days

>>11731931
How did you save 600 on a thing that costs 300?

>>11731786
1) I don't really get it either, but I don't care about them as characters
2) if released at mass retail, they'd be smaller and sold as 7 deluxes.
That's about $200
Another very real possibility is, like the constructicons, they'd be sold with the torso being a commander class 2 pack, which would be 90 bucks instead of 56. So around $230

Which is waaaaay closer to what they're actually paying for.
3) mass retail doesn't just have to sell, it has to sell BETTER than other options. And something that takes up a commander slot and 5 deluxes means putting an actual main combiner, one that showed up in America, their primary market, on hold, or waiting until 2029 to release figures as a combiner, one that'll 100% sell worse than any other combiner
And that's IF they don't do abominus, or predaking, or piranacon
So yeah, people are willing to spend more because the odds that they'll get another shot at it is extremely low.
The mere fact that they were willing to do deathsaurus and liokaizer at all after the disaster that was combiner wars version shows hasbro at least feels there's SOME demand, even if this was the best way to get it to market.

Hearing the Hasbro CEO say that the new prices are unrelated to tariffs and that they won't lower them even if tariffs are removed and/or they get their tariffs refund was wild. Let's see how long the size classes survive. I've pretty much passed on everything this year or gotten stuff at huge discounts. After I complete the 86 seekers and Bruticus, I'll almost cut my transformers spending to nothing.
