The OP image caught my eye, idk much about transformers with only watching beast wars when I was a kid. Are they going to be doing a maximal set too? Getting the whole cast like that is super convenient.

Also are these all existing releases? If I wanted to just watch some reviews of these what do I look for?

>>11747869
Yeah these are all already existing with somewhat different coloring. I think they’re mostly under the Kingdom line, maybe some Legacy

>>11747790
>>11747794
There's just something so alluring about the G2 decos that the G1 decos don't have for me.

>>11747869
you've picked a decent time to jump on.
what the guy below you said is right. This was "Transformers Kingdom" with a bit of "Transformers Legacy", so if you search for those, the character name, and 'review' you'll find it, easy.

Don't get mixed up with the 'Masterpiece' line which is super expensive and complex ones for collectors, that are eerily on-model despite all the cheating from the show

>>11747869
I'm pretty sure there's listings for a Maximal set. The base molds are mostly Kingdom, with Tarantulas and Inferno being Legacy. Those colorschemes are better than the base ones, so if you like the characters then the set would be worth grabbing when it comes out.

Speaking as someone who owns all the molds already; Scorponok is the only real dud mold there. Tarantulus, Blackarachnia and Megatron are great, Inferno is mostly great while Terrorsaur and Waspinator are good.

>>11747905
I understand the gripes on Scorponok and I share them (an upgrade kit helped a little, but he is a ball of baffling choices), but I don't see how Inferno isn't much, much worse. His basic concepts are destroyed in favor of a really awkward beast mode, with stupidly wrongly-shaped legs, and they didn't give him his gun. Even the rerelease just gives you two of his butt-engine. His robot hands are super dumb, his chest is wrong.. basically just the robot head looks good, and kind of the robot legs.
Sometimes it feels like they're in cahootz with the 3P upgrade kit people, except those would stay available longer if that were so.

I was HOPING I could get him and leopard print BA at the same time, but I only managed the latter. She was surprisingly affordable given how her legs were required to parts-swap to make regular BA show-accurate

of course now I'm gonna repaint my regular BA, so I'm not sure if I should switch those legs back first. leopardprint looks good with an all black spider mode.

No way, Rodimus sucks too much to handle the power of rock.

Any idea on what will come after AotP? I've heard Age of Megatron/Rodimus getting thrown around here and there. There could be potential for a good majority-Decepticon line with focus on their leaders as a contrast to the Primes.

Age of Rodimus would be a good opportunity to redeem the character.

This will never happen because Super Megatron wasn't Star Convoy sized in the single manga chapter. The Selects voyager Megatron and leader Star Convoy were accurately scaled.

in the same way that it's stupid to have different cable tv providers because they all provide the same channels (THOSE compete), that should act basically as a utility.

Since the 2000's or so when Katoki started doing Armored Core and Macross Frontier. Granted that Optimus is VF-19 based so he should be smoother,but it's not far from the decades of across designs since the original series.

>>11748472

Why does he... look like this? More paint does not make it more better, it makes it worse.

>>11748887
in this case, it does. it looks like the show, and it's kind of amazing... aside from the weirdly overly striking green and underbelly.. which .. I wanna say Takara did a better job with

I wish they sold those energon crystals, those would spruce up my shelf nicely.

The main issue with this mold is that the t-rex head is way, way too small, which hurts both modes. the legs are also slightly too big (megs had big legs, but they were mostly thigh and foot bulk, not like this)

>>11748892
oh and they changed up the shoulder transformation for seemingly no reason other than fun, which makes their shape and color asymmetrical

>>11748887
Honestly the robot form needed the repaint way more than the rex form.

>>11748896
also true
wait did they paint the palate but not the tongue? hang on... okay I checked my takara one, and both are molded in plastic color, just different ones.

this just looks way better in dino form than the proposed 30th anniversary edition. The takara one looks like its way darker purple, but I can't tell because it could be the photography making it seem that way.

To be fair, the Fire Valkyrie DOES have a big-ass block for a pelvis like that - but it's supposed to have a pointy cover over it that hides it. Likewise, the hips are also supposed to be bare on the sides like that - but the upper thighs are supposed to be much thicker and rounder, which makes it look a lot less awkward. Giving him pencils for thighs and upper arms in an attempt to evoke some Optimus traits was a mistake - you lose all of the organic curviness of the VF-19 by trying to emulate Prime's truck cab.

>>11748930
well he was darker in the show than the rather bright, almost borscht-y purple of the Kingdom one. But I will grant you, the tongue not being painted is a bizarre omission. does anyone have a screencap of the show from him roaring or whatever?

I would not be even a little surprised if there were differences, but nobody has conclusively shown any yet
considering BA still has the visible black joints in her painted legs, i'm thinking they haven't changed anything. I will be miffed if their BA is actually the right robot mode color unlike Takara's though.

Got the Wing kit for Onyx Prime that I've seen around
Great for Robot and Centaur
Noooot so great for Dragon sadly as it's insanely floppy
Which it's not supposed to be
Seems they went cheaper material than what was shown off, so honestly a severe let down
The additional neck joint while cool also makes the head absurdly loose and wobbly
So kinda useless
The extra Spear head is great tho and you can flip it around and have a bigger Spear

I kinda want this set, but better paint jobs or not, I really can't justify spending 220 bucks on characters I already own. Especially knowing that Megatron, Tarantulas and Inferno are the only good toys in there.

>>11749069

Not unless you're really good at customizing, or are willing to sell your existing ones and get back yknow a fraction of what you paid, but that at least takes that 220 down to like, maybe 170.
I think you're making the right choice resisting. I've had to do a lot of that lately.

1/1 reproduction of TF Prime Wheeljack but new hands with a hinge, new heads, grenade that can go on his hip, new swords, gunhands and feels so much better. A lot more sturdy and solid feeling that the original to me

Also caved to the APC Optimus
Finally glad to have one where the fucking back panel/side panel isn't like brownish and breaking up the Truck Mode color like the original does
Shoulders pop easily but I think even on the original it did that. He feels stiffer and more firm/solid when posing so he feels great
I don't know what it is
Great he also came with the Silver styled Star Saber and a piece to have it hang off his back. Glad for that and only really disappointed in the Blades being translucent Blue
He did have an unmasked mouth alt head too so that's cool

>>11749082
Yeah, I was also mentally jumping through the hoops of what I could get for the Kingdom releases, but it's just bad math no matter how you add it up (and I'm normally very good at rationalizing bad uses of money when it comes to toys). But yeah, restraint is always a good thing with this hobby and it's something I'm trying to practice more with TF too. Tempted as I am to just buy everything I want on release, there's no real reason to with certain characters. I want animated Wreck-Gar and Sureshot, but neither of those are tentpole characters, so they can absolutely wait for a bit.

this is faithful to the original beastwars release in dino mode alone
>>11748930
this is more faithful to the show, as is the head sculpt and certain elements.

Honestly it's a bastardization of two different references with a more "modern" dinosaur interpretation, so it being exactly like this or that is thrown completely out the window. It does make me want to buy the cheapest one and custom paint it to be more like the original toy however.

>>11749110
I take toy purchases like i take my performance in a videogame
if I fuck up a little, it's okay as long as most of it's fine. It's only a complete fuckup that requires a teardown and a sacrifice to make up for it.
I think I have the best beast wars collection possible, right now, for what was available to me, fitting my taste, at the best price I could have gotten it for. still hoping I can get green lio for cheaper though.
>>11749300
funny, I thought she was one of the best, and she got the hue of gold a lot closer than takara did

well you can't paint the rubbery parts, that's for sure. else I would have customized mine when I got the Premium Finish release. Made a BLACK tyranno awww yeah. I actually considered using dye since that might penetrate the rubber, but dye requires rubber-warping levels of heat, so naw. I just sold it and got a decent amount back.

I know these aren't rare and can be purchased on Amazon for about $13-15 dollars. I ended up with them as part of a huge fodder lot of heads, weapons, energy effects, etc.

I do have some Transformer's Blokees Galaxy blind boxes I need to sell off but I don't think someone who wants to buy THOSE will want one of these tossed in a 'freebie' - which is what the GI Joe general suggested I do with the two of those mini-toys I had.

sort of.
what Takara did is release these as 2-packs, one pred, one maximal. They called it "Premium Finish" (or possibly that's what they called it when released here on specialty stores)

so far nobody can totally confirm these are identical to the takara releases, but one assumes they're diddly damn close at least.

Regardless of the many failings of the left, the ideology Transformers media generally promotes is a liberal one. That's why most of the fandom is left leaning (in addition to a large percentage of it being gay).

This is true as well, because most nerd shit also promotes left leaning views. I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but that is a contributing factor to why TF and many other fandoms are that way.

I mean, they usually go hand in hand.
Teddy Roosevelt and all.
And 90% of the nature preserves are in deeply conservative areas.
Transformers is a very international brand so many people don't know "conservative" in the US means limiting the impact on your life the government has, both positive and negative, whereas in the rest of the world it means traditionalist, i.e. not wanting any change.
Essentially the conservative motto is "freedom is the right of all sentient beings"

I mean yeah my man TR believed we have to preserve nature so we can keep exploiting its resources. But it kinda turns out nature basically self-regenerates, just don't let some hippies tell you to stop clearing out underbrush etc because it's a 'habitat' or whatever.. yeah a flammable habitat. the native americans and australians knew to remove it. If you leave that alone, it burns down and then you don't have your habitats anymore to go hunting in. also if you kill the wolves and stuff then you're kinda fucked. leave those fuckers alone, they're rad. Kill the deer.

but uh, low-population areas have a real habit of voting for huuuge government, because they want to be handed things for free. They'd fuckin love Megatron if he just offered them the right bribe. A blue collar has a strong tendency to be red underneath yknow...

The reason for this is that before the 2010’s rightwingers generally looked down and hated nerdy hobbies. A lot of older ones still do.

It's a 27 year old mold that only saw one other, limited run through Botcon Arcee. It was done with a lot of paint flourishes that were common at the time but are now cost prohibitive on top opf that, so even if they find the mold, the costs may be too much for the market(this is part of why G1 reissues are expensive- they're using a bunch of older combinations of production that were common at the time but haven't been used in ages, like rubber tires and diecast. On top of being niche releases. The basic BW reissues didn't sell the best so it makes them unlikely to jump to Transmetals anytime soon.

Is it though? Most of the TF porn I'd see (at least 20 years ago or so) was of Megatron banging Prime and/or Starscream.

So when are we getting a toy colour repaint with a clear windscreen? This colour scheme sucks.

>>11750857
Yeah, but the new Silverbolt toy is almost identical to the old one, just without the spring-loaded gimmick for the wings. There was no reason to compromise at all - in fact, the removal of said spring-loaded gimmick should have made things even easier for them.
Also, the size of the tail, specifically, never had any bearing on how the robot mode looked, since it always just hung off of his back even on the original toy; someone made a conscious decision to modify a part that wasn't in the way and wasn't going to be visible in robot mode, and there was no reason for it.

Nothing more right leaning than forever wars fought over oil (sometimes orchestrated by the slimy merchants)

It would be cool if they reissued transmetals in metallic paint so we would never have to worry about paint chipping.

Also I just got a reissue scorponok got 15 dollars somehow on amazon maybe relevant to someone's interest

Ice bird was literally my favourite transformer growing up and I'll probably never find it worth paying stupid ebay prices. The sculpting was just so fucking cool. I'd flip out his wings in bear mode and make him fly around attacking people with his giant bloody wolverine claws. I would kill for a chance to get him back and the other 3 I missed out on.

Meh. A huge part of the appeal for me is the vac metal. It just wouldn't be the same without it.

I mean metaphorically they reminded me of comic book wolverine claws. I know he is an owl and a bear. I also got his fucking name wrong but Icebird is a stupid ass name

Yeah but they're too cheap to release them with all that chrome anyways
