I wonder if you could work ankle tilt into a transformation, such that the legs could sorta split and unfold and become a lot thinner as jet kibble

>>11784166
I get why some people think this missing link missed the mark, but if you take it more literally.. it has made fewer changes thus far because fewer changes were warranted, but here...more.. was warranted. I mean how do you add ankle tilts and shit, to a guy with no feet? This is actually a missing link.
I think the line should be drawn at the altmode.. if the altmode is changed, you fucked up.

Armada Starscream really suffers from being the first one in the update line, Red Alert utterly mogs him

>>11783285
you could just say Glub Shitto without inventing a bicycle and your picture would be amazing anon <3

>>11784169
I've said it before, but making modern Cyberjets is easy, just use the Maverick mold. The transformation scheme is essentially an upscaled version of the original Cyberjets already.

i dont read trasnformers/superhero comics because they are...well they are kind of not good and you have to read 500+ issues to understand where the story is now and why Blue Glub Shitto hates Purple-Green Glub Shitto and his Orange Glub Shitto son.

I thought it's a meme-picture about glub shitto meme "some random character that appeared in episode 325452 of season1 G1 and then in UK-comics blablabla"

it's like a Blue Print of Glub Shitto character lol!

This is a long shot. Does anybody know in which of Thew's Transformers review he says something is "a bit Naked Lunch, isn't it?"? I just watched that movie and want to finally get the reference. I think it was one of the older reviews.

IMO, Headmasters is the type of suck that just goes under the radar. People dont hate on them as much as Beast Machines or Energon, but with few exceptions any character from those shows are basically guaranteed to shelfwarm.

>>11784180
Transformers comics are usually good at explaining why Blue hates Purple-Green if it's not immediately (or recently) obvious.

>>11784180
>i dont read
Fairly evident from the posting style, yes.

>>11784170
I think Ultra Magnus needed another pass, honestly. I bought it primarily because UM is my favorite Convoy deco anyway, but the tolerances and overall articulation/attachment scheme in the legs of the armor feels undercooked given how thin the panels are. There are some gnarly stress marks around the lateral hinge on mine because of how tight/stuck they were. Even just slotting the figure into the armor is clunky.

If I look at it as an Ultra Magnus reissue that happens to use ML Optimus as its core robot I'm content (which is more or less all I wanted) but as a Missing Link Ultra Magnus it needed more work. Especially for that Takara as fuck price.

>>11784230
>Centurion Drone pack will get reissue
About fucking time. That has to be the most scalped toy post-Siege.

>>11784261
The one on the left has to be a real wearable suit on camera that can be performed in, I think is part of the problem. A toy designer can make whatever, but different departments coordinating the design of a robot for a show might get complicated, like what if the costume department prioritizes something that's lightweight, or they literally don't have the time or budget for something extremely complicated this season, etc.

>>11784274
And then Takara reissued all the parts people wanted with more paint in Dramatic Capture anyway.

>>11784274
They took too long, everyone either took the scalper pill or (hopefully) got what they wanted elsewhere, like 86 prime and megs cover a good amount of that set, or third party

I still want Megatron's mace but I don't know if SS86 Megs can hold it.
I know SS86 Prime can hold the axe for some double axe action, which is nice.

I'd have to check, but I know the Siege Megatron had some trouble holding the mace. Meanwhile, the axe barely fits the arm and you risk warping plastic when inserting it.

They're from a cartoon series called Quantum Heroes: Dinoster. Its currently on its third season (with a 4th confirmed), though only the first two have been released in english. It does that Cardbot thing where the toys improve massively with each season. The early toys are sentai style bricks, but they've been transitioning into Transformers style.

>>11784403
Additionally the standout earlier toy is Mosa Storm, who has all the standard TF articulation EXCEPT bicep swivels. He's old leader big, has ratchets, and costs about $30 on amazon.

Yeah, it's definitely a bad value if you only want a few of the parts. I could really do without the clone controller helmet, key, or lightsaber, but I'm going to get it just because I really like SS86 Megs and want to make him even better.

>>11784510
Will also be swapping the head and chest plate to the battle damaged version like this anon to get it as close to the definitive Megatron as I can.

>>11784515
What a dud, that thing deviates way too much from the original. What’s the point if it’s not essentially the original but with more articulation? Wasn’t that the point of the line to begin with? That might as well be another CHUG release.

They already kinda did do A voyager, though it was Mega Class way back in Energon and it was fucking awesome

>>11784594
No, it's in the canon tie-in comic. She's the Nemesis ship AI that was given a new body (Missing Link Nemesis Prime), then upgraded into Nemesis Star Convoy after teaming up with Energeon Shockblast. In this case, the "Nemesis" part is her actual name, while the rest is more of a title; there's some speculation that she may become the female Scourge from Yellow Fire Convoy's universe, since it was mentioned that that character was also supposed to be female.

>>11784620
Its a female AI given a new body. Stop starting shit.

>>11784620
Not really. She's a female character who remains a female character - 'she' doesn't become a 'he' at any point. This is like saying Blackarachnia is trans because her original toy was just a recolor of Tarantuals, or that Glyph is trans for being a Bumblebee repaint. The character is female, and was intended to be from the start. Deal with it.

Just lines exclusive to Japan and China(initially). Cloud was another in a wave of e-Hobby/TakaraTomy Mall exclusives
GDO was a Asian market exclusive wave that was shown off at a Botcon, Hasbro mentioned they would not be sold in the US market, which lead to a small outcry. So they managed to work out a deal with Toys R Us to sell over here as exclusives.

But 86 Ironhide is much better?

>>11784724
This is the first Missing Link release actually worth buying

>>11784170
This is how I feel as well. Every change from the original toy was warranted imo, unless it cant detach the sled which would be dumb

Since I have been playing a bit of the game i decided to get devastation Sideswipe as my 6th figure and I really like how the alt mode looks in that red and with the stylized windows, i had hoped the head wouldn't bother me in person and I can live with it but it is a shame.

>>11784760
Any plans on getting 86 devastator?

>>11784747
>But 86 Ironhide is much better
Debatable.

>>11784768
I doubt i will get a combiner any time soon unless it was a small scale one and even then I am kind of neutral on Devastator himself, I think it is that he is like 80% the green which was fine in the cartoon but not sure about for my display spaces.

seriously, it's weird, it's like they looked back at the pre-zyuranger days and said "let's be like that but worse"
the cracks were already showing by Ohranger though, if I'm real. Yeah it was cool, fun designs, but no leg articulation and the legbots are just.. legs. There's an excuse of them representing like ancient pillars or something, but they're legs.

explain how you'd put ankle tilts on a guy with no feet. his legs just went straight into the sled, right? do you want.. a SLED tilt?

>>11784804
There is a printable upgrade kit out there, need to print it off for my black Ironhide. Honestly I like the mould (feet aside). SS86 looks better, but the transformation is dependent on tolerances that HasTak just can't manage- I have Ratchet and he's kinda scary to transform.

>>11784515
There's barely anything left from the original toy, why call it missing link?

>>11784778
I got mine off Ebay

>>11784724
This.
The whole point is to be the old toy with added articulation (maybe more stability) If you have to change it THIS much to work, it's just an awkward looking CHUG now.

>>11784820
like I said earlier, this is actually the most sensible use of the term so far
the others are more like 'remasters' but this is an actual missing link between the original and how a modern toy of him would be done

File: OIP-3662665424.jpg (41.7 KB)

>>11784815
I'd probably start with just putting ankle tilts on his feet. There's nothing complicated about this at all.

>>11784824
They had to change Magnus too, this one is changed more because the old one was so shit

>>11784833
Magnus barely changed anything, Ironhide is a completely different sculpt and transformation. The only thing Ironhide didn't change pretty much was the chest piece.

>>11784832
so, earlier, when I said 'he doesn't even have feet'
why wasn't your response 'yes he does' ? because I would have gone "Oh, I thought he was permanently attached to the sled" and the discussion would have been over.
This is why basic communication skills are so important.

do you think a version that's faithful to the original toy would sell more than the version we're getting that actually looks like the character? because I sure don't.

>>11784841
I like him. I never owned the original, and I think it's cool he can go from his cartoon version to a "close enough" version of his OG toy, so I'll probably be getting him - especially if they release him in his Diaclone black colors.

>>11784515
I get this is controversial, but the more I look at it the more it feels like it’s meant to be more like the other G1 cars instead of a glorified mech suit/weapons platformer. Like if the diaclone Vanette was designed to be similar to the others from the start.

>>11784515
They took too many liberties with the arms. Looks very chug.

>>11784375
Fusion cannon is worth getting and so are the shoulders, most of the filler parts and the skirt piece are unnecessary.

>>11784841
I think he's cool but not cool enough for the asking price.

>>11784647
You're a bit wrong there, anon. There's TWO Yellow Girl R.I.D. Primes.

Optimus Prime (girl) is from an alternate universe where she and that universe's Scourge just happened to be girls. Girltimus Prime starts out in the exact same red, normal-sized body as regular-style R.I.D. Prime, but later gets the yellow Spychanger body from the first Universe toyline. GirlScourge shrinks too.

Yellow Splended Convoy is a different character entirely, from the precursor universe before the JPG1verse. She's based on the full-sized yellow redeco of R.I.D. Prime. She doesn't have any connections to any GirlScourges or GirlNemesises.

>>11784838
Considering what people buy the ML figures for, I do. As people have said. Just buy a CHUG if you want something with this many liberties. It's not the G1 toy with more articulation, it's not the animation model. It's neither here nor there.

>>11784833
a lot of the old G1 toys are primitive. THATS THE POINT.
Buy a CHUG if you think the old ones are shit.

>>11784841
Nah he looks great, ever since they revealed ML Arcee it's been clear that Missinglink isn't just about "the original toy but with modern articulation" but more like "recreating the toys that people wish existed back then" and Ironhide is pretty notorious for his original toy looking completely out of place from everyone else, so the direction they went in makes sense

I assume Menasor is another Motormaster recolor of an Optimus Prime. Red Mirage is interesting since I don't think they did Diaclone Red Mirage officially at all at this point.

>>11784858
>>11784859
the thing is the toys they updated already looked cool. g1 Ironhide is notoriously ugly. I guarantee you and anyone else crying for toy-accurate ugliness and partsforming are in the minority

>>11784859
Ironhide clearly isnt a generations toy though.

>>11784867
>>11784868
>>11784870
I hope these are test shots and he's not actually yellow

>>11784882
It's an totally changed an updated toy, not resembling the original at all.
and you're right, it also doesn't resemble a CHUG either. It matches nothing. It serves no purpose.

Like I said, you want need the toy changed that much, you just want a CHUG, if you think the actual G1 toy is that ugly you wouldn't buy a Missing Link, because up until now that's has been what it's been trying to recreate as closely as possible.

>>11784884
>yellow
anon...

>>11784885
>not resembling the original at all.
So we're just making stuff up? It's clearly based on the original toy, without question.

>>11784881
>I guarantee you and anyone else crying for toy-accurate ugliness and partsforming are in the minority

I guarantee you, you're a shill.
You do know can just buy one of the many other Ironhide toys if you don't like how the G1 looked. They've been making those forever. The unique thing would be if they made a G1 toy that had today's articulation. This is just a awkward looking ...thing

>>11784887
>It's CLEARLY based
so are CHUGS if we go by your standard. they're ALL Ironhide.
All the other ML MATCHED the original parts, except where it was necessary to ADJUST them to add joining. They didn't throw out the old toy completely, and make up something new BASED on it.
stop with the copetalk.

I swear Takara just reveals figures in the most absurd ways possible. What do you mean this is how we find out about NL Gigastorm AND MPG Galvatron and Blaster?!

>>11784934
Is that the IDW design? The shoulders are ugly.

Also we are probably going to get a Megastorm for AoE since there's a Voy G2 Megatron planned.

>>11784937
We knew about Blaster already.

Hard to guage height, but that Galvatron seems too short to be MP.

>>11784949
God damn they went hard as fuck with Giagstorm, the horn is crazy and the deco is amazing.

>>11784938

Yes. Though it's continuing the tradition of IDW Star Saber toys being given Autobot symbols he did not have.

Yep, he's a Generations figure. Fucking wild. Also, guess he'll be nearly 200 going by current prices so buckle up.

>>11784959
It's absolutely amazing how hard Takara is going with New Legends. It started out with a voyager (with glow in the dark plastic admittedly), then a full combiner set, a fucking titan, and now they're showing off ANOTHER titan, an original Galvatron, and promising two more figures at least.

>>11784867

Daring.

>>11784926

Yessssss

>>11784950
well compare him to Lio Convoy >>11784923 an it's a good size difference for Generations

>>11784961
This >>11784949 saya Gigastorm is 6. So what will 4 and 5 be?

>>11784956
You can tell this is a Takara exclusive release because it actually looks good

>>11784956
Think he'll be a commander or a small $150 titan?

>>11784956
It pisses me off that they're going right back to the region exclusive shit with this, Hasbro will import the fucking green sherbet Leo Convoy but not these so they'll end up being $300 to import

>>11784962
I’m guessing he’s probably going to be either a big Commander (I.E Jetfire) or a small Titan (I.E Star Convoy)
>>11784972
Do we know if Takara is doing Age of Evolution yet? Maybe New Legends will fill the gap for them instead

>>11784976
Commander like Magmatron probably.

>>11784976
>>11784981
He's New Legends, he'll be whatever price Takara feels like.

>>11784978
Hasbro's 2 for 2 on importing NL calm your ass down

So how bad is the cope from poorfags gonna be when Takara releases a

>>11784867
Does he have a new name or are they just calling him Optimus Prime/Convoy?

>>11784994
That is literally never going to happen.

>>11784995
Why would he have a new name? But no, it's named Optimus Prime.

>>11784956
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK

Its really funny to me that Takara decided to just make 5 unique lines (ML, NL, AM, Overgear, Wild King) independent of Hasbro.

The torso looked more gray to me, but sure, it can be green.

>>11785002
Even in the old days, a Takara exclusive chug mold was a rare treat. They're going above and beyond.

>>11785009
That’s cute, though I’m curious how that’s supposed to work in-universe. Is Megastorm going to be depowered and forced to use a giant transtector?

>>11784958
Those swords are pretty cool, I'm interested. Right on for Takara doing what they want instead of waiting for hasbro

Nemesis comic is up https://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/products/tf_nl/nl-03-web-comic

>>11785021
No clue, but knowing a G2 Megatton is coming I assume he's deposited back into Megastorm, then with a new source of energy, is turned into a powered up Gigastorm.

Why she battle beast

>>11784841

Nemesis Star Convoy is NOT The Nemesis. The body of a G1 Convoy from another universe who founded the Speedia planet colony and had been asleep on that planet for ages was converted into Nemesis Star Convoy by Shockblast

Because that’s what a good portion of post-86 Decepticons transform into

>>11785023
So the ancient Autobots from Cybertron aren't just an homage anymore, they were the genuine G1 characters.

>>11785042
oh this is japan-exclusive huh?
then there was never any chance of getting him, like with glowy lio convoy.
Basically no reason to even post it in here except to increase suffering.

>>11785037
People presented it as fact and not an assumption though. Even had people itt or last going
>he
Right out their ass

>>11785023
So the plot is:

Shockwave, with new terrorcons based on Armada Nemesis Prime, attacks speedia in search of a G1 Convoy that is hidden on the planet (strongly implied to be the JG1 Convoy). The other part of his plan is using the terrorcons to turn the sleeping Convoy into Star Convoy, and corrupt him into Unicron. He also turned the Nemesis into a Convoy to control it and steal the Heart of Cybertron (looks like the ML matrix, then Star Convoy blade hilt). Turns out the stunticons were mislead, they were lured with fake Forestnight so they could ferry the HOC into this universe (apparently, it's needed for this sort of interdimensional travel). Shockblast moves into the next of his plan by destroying Speedia and takes off, eventually planning to do something in the G1 universe that will help with the GG universe reset.

>>11785052
>>11785050

Only for Convoy, we don't know if the other 3 are also the JG1 versions, but it does seem likely.

I am curious how big Galvatron is going to be because I feel like regardless of what they do, he’s going to be out of scale with something

I hope none of these get Armada Convoy'd

File: 1000020511.png (1.4 MB)

No crosses for you

>>11785063
Armada Convoy was a proof of concept proto. It couldn't transform, it was basically a static figure. That Galvatron is clearly a late-stage prototype. These are only getting canned if Menasor and Nemesis are absolute flops, and given they're debuting all these now Menasor has probably gotten a lot of preorders in.

>>11785059
His major points of scale are Lio Convoy and Magmatron. Lio Convoy should reach close to his mid section, while Magmatron is about a head shorter... but the shows ignored this scale all the time.

>>11784994
Wouldnt it be missing link?

>>11785072
His scale with Lio Convoy looks pretty right t me >>11784923

>>11785077
Yeah, that's why I assumed he was Generations, since he was too short to match the MP Lio Convoy.

>>11784868
>R3-5157-4NC3
>Resistance
What is this, some crossover? I don't recognize it.

>>11785080
Overgear, bozo, keep up.

>>11785080
No, the lore is that the Decepticons pulled an early IDW and took over the world from the shadows. Autobots are working with resistance cells that use Merc companies as a front. Weirdly, they snuck in some energon influence, like one of the human allies is Kicker, and Ironhide has influence from his energon design (which is weird since he was roadbuster in Japan, but they clearly made that connection with his English name).

>>11785072
Note that the Galvatron that Magmatron fought wasn't the actual Galvatron, but Unicron using Galvatron's design.

>>11785052
Oh and a minor thing that happens, Hot Rod color changes to red using a cyber key to power up. This seems minor, but in Japan the alt color version was just Excellion red, not a new character like he is in the states.

im still waiting on the gi joe crossover tank prime

>>11785072
Take this with a massive grain of salt, but I tested the photo of him, Nemesis Star Convoy, Lio Convoy, and MP Rhinox using pixel measurements and comparing to the heights of my Star Convoy and Leo Prime and it seems Galvatron is around 9 inches tall, which makes him still shorter than Magmatron and ironically almost perfectly matches my theory for how tall he would be
>>11785094
That’s the one GI Joe crossover toy I was interested in and of course it ends up in release limbo

>>11785065
it's so baffling to me how the red cross thinks they can boss around private industry, which inherently outranks them, claiming credit to a SYMBOL as if it was their business logo, when for DECADES it was used with total impunity in fiction whenever it felt, which is the definition of 'you lost the rights, IF you even had them to begin with'

>>11784956
I remember an anon not too long ago saying "can't wait for takara to get sick of hasbro's shit" and I thought they were just talking crazy, but I think they actually snapped?! When was the last time they made their own all original Chug mold? Or is this guy somehow an extensive remold?
