TFcon is today but the announcements will probably be so lackluster this general will be staying dead. So far, it's just the exclusives, 2/3rds of MMC's Long Haul "leaked," and another DNA kit for Animated Prime.

Question for anyone that has newage omega supreme or other releases of the mold
I was wondering if there is a intended effect part for the rocket exhuast and cannon arm, they look like they have ports but 5mm is too thick for the cannon and I can't think of any fire parts I could use with the rocket exhaust.

The problem is that the optimus BADLY needs to be redone. The one they made throws everything that makes armada prime cool out the window. The torso mode is fine, but the heads, smaller robot and base are not good in the slightest.
The biggest miss is that the main robot mode is too slim and lacks the high shoulders it should have and the super mode legs don't have the sort of trench coat tail back skirt, and the shin guns are woefully pathetic, something hasbro also made pathetic. Both heads ,but especially the super mode head, are far too stylized and don't capture the personality of armada prime as well.

Cool but I kinda have contempt for how overexposed Waspinator is compared to other BW characters, especially toy only guys but that's the nature of such a media driven franchise.
I'm also just not the most enthused when it comes to BW Season 1 designs, I actually do like organic beasts but for the show characters, outside a few like Primal, I prefer Season 2. Apparently Robot Toys is working on some S2 designs? That said Airazor is still needed. I'll buy a Tarantulas begrudgingly but I never liked his S1 show design, I'm maybe be more enthused about a toy colors version but BW rarely get that.

What's a good 3p MP Blitzwing? Is it the Fans Hobby one? I have the Astrotrain and now feel obligated to get his buddy down the line.
>>
>>11738687
Fanstoys you mean?
Which pretty much seems like to be the definitive if you want to match Astrotrain's paint, but the Startoys has a good Blitzwing too. It just doesn't look proper if you want to line it up with Astrotrain.
>>
>>11738687
StarToys one is the best looking one imo. A bit puffy in the chest, but clean kibble, good alt modes with just enough G1 accuracy, a transformation that's straightforward and works well and leads to very clean look in all modes with minimal panel lines.
FT has nice shiny purple but that's about it. The "pearl beige" just looks weird, and the alt modes are awkward, the transformations are just a pain for no reason and break up the sculpt like hell. FT also reaaaally wanted to do the tank dick meme and just like legacy blitzy, it looks bad.

Got this motherfucker today and I'm disappointed. It's a few steps down from APC/GF's usual quality. Pics make him seem glossy and I expected their usual quality, but it's soft thin plastic with some sort of matte finish and no paint. And it's very light and feels flimsy. Not worth the money.

I got Bloodwing in yesterday and I find him really fun to mess around with and easy to transform. My only issue I dont like how LOUD everything clicks when moving his limbs or transforming parts on the figure. It makes me feel like the joints are going to get worn down faster than a normal transformer

Yeah it's wholly because he was always making that kind of face in the G2 comics, which is where the whole thing hails from with all all of the weapons and such.

Also installed the new parts from tiny guy for Ultra Magnus. I like they gave an insert piece for if you don't have him origami'd into the body.

I think a goofier character would have fit Back to the Future like Heinrad, or a more serious time travel machine for Vector Prime. But it's so absurd and still fits that it makes me want it. I hate most of the original characters they use for crossovers and also hate how Japanese crossovers only use Optimus but I love stupid bullshit so its like this was made for me. I wonder what's next.

The eyes have kinda grown on me, desu
At first, I did think they looked ridiculous and stupid but I dunno, it's sorta become charming.
And I really like how unique some of them are. My favorites are Bloodwing, a vampire/grim reaper ambulance whose wings can fold around him like the Gundam Deathscythe
And Blackhook- he's literally a pirate transformer that turns into a galleon. How fucking good is that?!

its interesting that people deem some MPM too fucking big and some too small

File: dotm autobot chart 1.png (313 KB)

>>11756316
All the original MPM cars scaled with each other perfectly and were the same size as Human Alliance, 1/30 or 1/32 I believe. The trucks, planes and copters were way too small and didn't scale with anything in either mode. This is why nearly every large MPM character got an oversize KO, using MPM Bumblebee as the reference. There's an OSKO Bumblebee and Barricade but those are meant to be non scale display pieces. Some DotM scale charts list Dino as 18ft and others at 15ft. UT likely based their original on the former, even though it doesn't make much sense considering Dino's car is very similar to Bumblebee. These Dino USKOs are all trying to fit him into that 15ft scale. UT Dino next to Hasbro MPM 4 must look completely ridiculous.
>>
>>11756316
The problem is that 3P Bayformer cars tend to have different (and often better) transformation philosophies than the official MPMs, resulting in more size-shifting between modes. So either the robot is way too big, or the car is way too small.
Personally I just prefer to collect smaller figures, and I’m not too bothered about scaling.
