Do yourself a favour and just buy Acoustic Wave if you want a toon Soundwave

>>11802815
Honestly I feel the same. I like how the original MP Soundwave likes a lot and still want one even with his weird hips, and even as someone who doesn't care for toon-literalism Acoustic Wave looks decent. This seems like a weird compromise between the two with the strengths of neither. The sculpted details look odd without the extra paint apps of the original release.
That said if Takara does a new mould MP Soundwave I'd rather it was an "MP-13 2.0" ala Style Gen Optimus, rather than trying to compete with the FT one. The aesthetic of MP-13 was great, just the engineering is a bit wonky. And looking at how the 2.0 of Bumblebee came out, yeaaaah.

The fact it lets you change out some parts for the toy versions was great

>>11802822
And if we’re talking style gen they should take cues from Studio OX design I think

>>11802828
That is very cool. I think I overall prefer MP-13's style to AW even with the toy parts (also IIRC the toy parts on the sides of the legs can't stay on for transformation, could be wrong though) but I do appreciate that they included options. Honestly, if they re-released it in colours closer to the original MP (darker blue and silver instead of white) I'd probably bite.
>>11802831
Studio OX Soundwave would be amazing. Honestly I'm sad MMC are the only guys doing OX designs, they're so stylish- like designs for a condensed but more coherent and better animated G1 OVA that never happened.

Man all this has over the Leader is size and the tail. And DNA's kit sorts the tail. The robot mode is kinda clunky, the dino mode is extremely janky and the actual sculpting and paintjob feel like downgrades. Plus it's so fucking BIG. I'd have bought a Slug or Scorn at Leader size, but not like this.

>>11802852
This is why I find Titan scale Dinobots so absurd. Grimlock shouldn't be the same size as Devastator. It's dumb.

This and the fact he can't close his mouth makes him an easy pass for me.

File: 20230831_213528.jpg (473.0 KB)

>>11802859
Outside of its general jankiness, the sculpt job might be what kills it more me.
The leader class is much more visually appealing to me
Plus the backpacky stuff obliterates the silhouette making his waist and already wide hips look even wider

>>11802866
The big thing is that it's the Bayverse Dinobots. Nobody cares about them. They are the true test if Hasbro can sell nothing characters at Titan class to appeal to checklistfags.

>>11802887
I watched that movie once and I don't remember them doing anything. I think Optimus rode Grimlock for a scene? I will not be watching that film again.

>>11802887
3P has been selling them for years now, and they're cool designs even if no one cares about the characters. The big issue is that Grimlock looks kinda janky here. But in theory if they did them well they'd have a market, Dinobots always do.

Each one is the best of the series, and the worst. It's truly bizarre and amusing. You take various aspects of them, the humor, the action, the human elements, the designs, the plot, the pacing.. each one does one of those the best, and one of them the WORST. and what order that goes in? is totally fucking wacky
Nobody expected anything of the 4th movie, why the fuck are they doing a 4th? but it ended up having the best plot. and the WORST human parts, as if to say "oh you complained about the human parts before? Here's a guy thinking his 17 year old daughter can't have a boyfriend and treating the guy like a cradlerobber for it, and that's supposed to be funny"

then we're like well okay, for the first time, a good plot setup. How will the 5th one be? uh, WORST plot. Fucking garbage. Dumbest robot mode looks. and yet, DINOBOTS. fucking dinobots. and the BEST human parts of any of the five. We got fucking Agent Simmons back AND Anthony Lilyhopkins, and they are both in top form.

It's truly a mess of a series. the 2nd movie is hot garbage in story pacing, yet it has the best designs of any. It's nuts.

>>11803075
Take a closer look at the proportions
they really fucked this up hard. Liger head is stubby and small in beast mode, yet overly gigantic and sticky-outy in robot mode. Robot torso isn't even the beast torso folded, because of all the electronics, so it's just like this giant filing cabinet turned on its side. shoulders attach to basically nothing. Beast mode legs put all the meat on the feet, so the thighs have to waste away like Frank Moore. Liger paws in robot mode can't even flip around to be melee weapons, they're just hanging out underneath. It's a messsss. And on top of everything else, they kept the transparent nose tab on the liger, which EVERY version after the original changed, or at least painted over if it was a remold.

Mine's finally in the mail, I preordered it from Pulse when I was just a lad. I still think the design could have been better but it looks fun overall. I think what got me to pull the trigger was the inclusion of the diaclone stuff, it just kind of felt like a some nebulous throwback to playsets I had as a kid.

Who are these little guys? Why do they have a giant robot animal? Why does the giant robot animal stand up and turn into a humanoid? I'll never know, but I'll love every second of pitting them against some other random bullshit I've chosen as their antagonist. Maybe they'll fight a Furby.

>>11803196
What do they even want that hasnt been done?

>>11803212
There is nothing new but then the Bayformers box sets haven’t been anything new anyway, just collections of characters from specific scenes.
Scenes that come to mind for DOTM are:
Optimus, Ratchet and Sentinel from the moon landing
Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave in Africa
Bumblebee, Mirage, Crankcase, Crowbar and Hatchet from the highway chase (with an accurate Crankcase)
Ironhide, Sideswipe, Crowbar and Crankcase from the Mexican standoff
Optimus and Shockwave from Shockwave’s death
Optimus, Sentinel and Megatron from the final battle

>>11803115
>Robot torso isn't even the beast torso folded, because of all the electronics, so it's just like this giant filing cabinet turned on its side
The lower torso disconnects from the electronics box and swings underneath. It's a bit like BW Silverbolt's old transformation.
>shoulders attach to basically nothing.
The shoulders are firmly attached to the electronics box and do not move for the transformation.
>Liger paws in robot mode can't even flip around to be melee weapons,
They most certainly can.
Do you even own the toy? Because aside from the "all the meat is in the legs" comment and the nitpick about the color of the nose tab, literally none of your complaints about the ,old are valid.

>>11803233
exactly. The original silverbolt, with the tail fucking hanging out and the back orientation clearly wrong. or also, the bison guy, uh Bonecrusher.
>firmly attached
sorry I didn't express that properly. I meant visually, they look like nothing attached to nothing via nothing. There's no 'armpit' yknow, no 'deltoid' or 'scapular process.' just.. hangin off.
>do you even own the toy
do I sound rich? I've watched many reviews. the paws can obviously de-transform, but that's not what I meant. They can't flip around while his hands are still in use.
I did have a "a guy knows a guy" deal in place to try to get some of these from japan for a mere 250, but that fell through, so I looked at the proportions again and sour-grapes'd my way to feeling like i dodged a bullet. Was it really that hard to just move some of the shin meat up to the thighs? or just let the robot mode have thicker thighs, would that hurt anything?

>with the tail fucking hanging out and the back orientation clearly wrong.
The torso disconnects from the battery box and swings underneath. The box itself then dislocates and folds down flush into a backpack. The torso orientation is perfectly natural, and he even has a rotating waist.
>I meant visually, they look like nothing attached to nothing via nothing. There's no 'armpit' yknow, no 'deltoid' or 'scapular process.' just.. hangin off.
They're attached to struts coming out of his sides, similar to Armada Optimus' Super Mode or Onyx Prime.
> I've watched many reviews.
Right, so now you're an expert.
> the paws can obviously de-transform, but that's not what I meant. They can't flip around while his hands are still in use.
Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

>>11803254
yes but silverbolt and bonecrusher DO have the tail. I'm saying it's LIKE those. I'm aware the pelvis swings down, but the abdomen kinda remains in place, and to me that looks goofy. They excuse it by making it a platform for all the extra diaclone weapons.> it looks very unnatural to me.
>you actually found a way to make the paws do what I was suggesting
huh, okay. It's more awkward than I was hoping, but... Acceptable. Okay, I was wrong. But the other points I gotta stand on. We're not really disagreeing, that's exactly what I meant. Armada Optimus's super mode, exactly. Arms are just on these struts. they don't look satisfying.. they're so thin from the front, and his torso has no manliness to it. If not for their insistence on a battery pack, maybe that area could have folded out, making ROOM for the rest of the torso block, and giving him delts. Just saying.

>>11803256
>huh, okay. It's more awkward than I was hoping, but... Acceptable.
I transformed him in a rush for that shot - they can actually fold down flush against the back of his robot wrists, letting him go full Wolverine with no issue (well, except for the fact that his Strike Claws don't actually extend, which is a shame). The things are on a simple armature and attached via balljoint, and they're clearly MADE for you to do this. It is, after all, one of the Liger's primary weapons.
>If not for their insistence on a battery pack, maybe that area could have folded out, making ROOM for the rest of the torso block, and giving him delts.
It's not the battery pack that's the issue here - it's the Shield Liger's side-mounted missile pods that prevent you from doing much with that area, because they have to fold up into his armpits when not in use. The point of putting the arms on struts was to make room so you can deploy the missile pods freely in robot mode; it's totally a compromise made because the Liger's combat gimmicks were prioritized over the robot mode transformation. I've said it before, but it's best not to think of this guy as Optimus Prime - he's very clearly just a Shield Liger who was upgraded by Dianauts to transform, and his robot mode just HAPPENS to look slightly like Optimus. He doesn't even have a Matrix.

It looks like they're putting out multiple heads, but I'm afraid of trying to pull the stock one off

It's pretty easy, it just unscrews off. 86 Optimus is a bit harder, but still unscrews easily

>>11803278
oh good point, the missile pods are probably getting in the way there.. unless they had a swivel at their base or something, then they could BE his backmeats. Meh.
I'm okay with him not being optimus prime, I just wish they'd at least made him as cool looking as lio convoy or tigatron or any of the other catformers.

>we got ONE and then a remold of it.
Recolor, not remold. Rathalos Prime and Silver Rathalos Prime are physically identical, it's just their colors that are different (and stats, if you're going by the difference between a common Rathalos and a G-Rank Silver Rathalos).
I still want a TM2 Megatron Fatalis, an Elita-1 Rathian, or (for some serious wishful thinking) a Kirin from a retooled Battle Unicorn.

>>11803359
what?

>>11803413
I've only heard that they are indeed getting another wave of two original molds, no clue what the choices are

>>11803472
Considering her transformation is just kinda "have her put her hands on her hips and pretend you can't see them", I'm not too concerned, but now you have me wondering...
... okay, not TERRIBLY, but not great. I guess she turns into a griffin now.
Or I can just pop them on and off, I mean I knew the solution wouldn't be perfect (the other solution is maybe drill a hole and get Tigerhawk/Razorclaw's normal hands in there, since I replaced those too)
>>11803473

Transformer fans do not comprehend this. They think Hasbro buying Tonka and owning the Gobots cartoon means they're entitled to the Bandai owned MR designs. It's like thinking WB owns Godzilla because they bought Hanna Barbera which made a Godzilla cartoon.

>>11804111
>>11804191
They COULD do it. Bandai only owns the original toy design. They could do CyKill with Wreck Gar or another motorcycle mold.

The chief issue was Crasher was that they lost the rights to the name, hence why they had to rebrand her Crasher for a bit, since they effectively turned her into a Mirage gender swap instead of a sports car like the original figure

Yeah, I’m guessing the Legends manga is going to explain it by having his Angolmois Energy removed similar to what happened to Starscream and BB and he’ll be forced to use a mech to become Gigastorm again, similar to what BWSG Megatron had to do with the Gigastorm Armor

Some day I want a ML Jetfire. Someday...

>>11804368
I know you mean a new toy based Jetfire, but I wouldn’t mind a ML style figure based on his animation model

>>11804373
Isn't that the Siege toy?

I want Bandai to be cool and just let HasTak re-issue the original G1 Jetfire.

>>11804363
The next New Legends chapter is titled Liege Maximo's Ambition, maybe Gigastorm did get captured and Maximo pumps him with confiscated Angolmois to make him a planet sized opponent for Nemesis Star Convoy.

They likely will. In Japan no one will mistake a Valkyrie as a Transformers toy so if they do a Skyfire design they'll go with something closer to the animation model but retro it up.

Since the motorized optimus kept breaking, why not have a ferrous pinball strike the optimus in truck mode, turning him into the cyberbot mode. Then have a magnet underneath pull him back into truck mode. That way there is only one part that can break.

Better view from the front

>>11804551
It's not that they "took the transformation out" - all of the mechanisms are still present. The problem was that, since he kept getting jammed mid-transformation, they just disconnected the motor that pulls him down. It would theoretically be possible to reconnect it and have him transform as intended, but then you'd be running the risk of him getting stuck again.

>>11804554
>It was nice of them to give Megatron a little nameplate in case he goes senile and starts calling himself Galvatron again.
Optimus, Grimlock, and Soundwave are all labeled, too. Of the bunch, I think poor Grimmy probably needs the reminder the most.

The G1 Ratchet/Ironhide toy was so fucking lame that Takara looked at it and went "AIYA WE CAN'T SELL THIS" and shoved Ratchet to a mailaway in 1986 and never released Ironhide at all. Years later when they reissued the toys they always became notorious shelfwarmers and you could find them for super cheap.

>>11804644
Funny enough, Hasbro had the same thing going on with Reflector. Despite his Season 1 appearances, documents later found would show there was a push to not use him in the show because Hasbro wasn't even sure they'd be releasing the toy at all.

>Years later when they reissued the toys they always became notorious shelfwarmers and you could find them for super cheap.
The vanette isn't even bad. Boomers just hate it because it's inaccurate and leans too much towards Diaclone for them.

>>11804628
It's a good toy, but it only works in the Diaclone play model, which is an aspect adult collectors don't care about (for obvious, understandable reasons). It's a transforming playset. It's so central that I'd argue adding articulation doesn't even matter unless you change other things.

Sweet, my Shockwave and Skywarp just shipped from Amazon.

>>11804471
Crasher is a redeco of a Machine Robo that hasn't really been touched in 30 years and even then they took significant liberties. Bike Robo is pretty significant and has had multiple updates. If Hasbro or Takara released a figure that looked too much like Cy-Kill it would fuck with their bottom line.

>>11804393
Yes but apparently these people NEED Hasbro to make them for some reason

>>11804644
They didn't even have to do that. They could have created a new Ratchet figure via Protectorbot member First Aid instead of having the figure be a new character.

Hell, you could have Frankensteined an entire new team of wave one Autobots out of Scramble City bots

Silverbolt becomes a non Veritech Jetfire or Skyfire

>>11804301
>they totally could have kept the original design but give him a way to shift the arms up and hide a head in the sled.
I think the reason they opted for such a different look is because making the Diaclone Vanette an articulated /character/ is a flawed concept inherently. It was designed as a mecha platform. It's not like the other Diaclone Car Robots that are closer to a humanoid mecha. If they knew the mold was going to be used for a character, they would've designed it differently from the start.
So they went back to the drawing board, and created a Vanette who's robot mdoe looks more like the Fairlady or Lamborghini molds. It still /looks/ like an 80's toy, just one meant to be humanoid from the start.

>>11805487
That would make sense given Shoji Kawamori worked on Diaclone before creating Macross
>>11805523
NTA, but I assume they’re saying that from the expected age ranges of the two toylines, with Reboot Diaclone being marketed more towards older collectors

Diaclone as a concept was painfully generic saved by pretty banging toys for its time, thre's a reason it got superseeded by Transformers

File: G1-GoBots-card.jpg (105.3 KB)

>>11805317
Let's examine the e-Hobby Go-bots set to see just what precedence is established for how they can use Go-bots.
Bug Bite- basically nothing to do with the Go-bots/MR toy he's named after. Different colors, different design, effectively just shares the altmode
Pathfinder- different colors, based on an early TF catalog colorscheme for Cosmos
Bad Boy- different colors, based off an early catalog colorscheme for Powerglide
Road Ranger- completely original colorscheme
Treds- the closest to his Gobots colors, but still a different shade and some deco placement. A green tank is probably hard to pin down as the same character.

So of this initial wave...almost none of them even share the deco of the MR/Gobots characters.
Now there's Crasher, who's gotten a couple of figures. But Crasher is a special case, her cartoon deco was actually original to Tonka. which means it's one of the few things they effectively own lockstock. They have the colors,not the toy design, so they're free to use it as they like, similar case with Jetfire who's deco is unique to TF, but not his original toy design(Jetfire is damn close to the stock Hikaru/"Rick Hunter" VF-1J/S, but probably generic enough to not raise much of an issue by the rights holders) .
It's very unlikely that they use the exact same deco of a MR toy even on a new mold, because that comes close to something Bandai owns. The G1 Gobots e-Hobby set was as far as they were willing to push it, and the did so by not even naming them outside the bio and changing all the colors.

...despite there being tabs and slots to lock them into their proper position

Which triple changer is the best? Is the Blitzwing really that bad. Because maybe if he goes on sale, I might get the 86 one.

Octane needs new leader class one badly DESU.

Unironically double dealer

So Liokaizer is out. Whens the next HasLab?

the disguise part and the large-team part are what make it distinct

sorry if I made it sound like I was talking about the show, since one doesn't exist
I meant the premise. the trappings. The groundedness.
>>11805531
not a they. also I didn't mean reboot diaclone, but that is a good point. Obviously they felt it made sense to make the reboot diaclone line so collector-focused

I just meant yknow realistic vehicles turning into functional battle platforms is more grounded than alien robots who can somehow fold up into cars comfortably after scanning them.
The kludging of diaclone and microchange made size-changing crap necessary, either of them on their own would have been more realistic.

Same colors as established by the e-Hobby set, i.e. nothing like the original MR/Gobots colors. Small Foot's face homages the cartoon but totally different colors.

The old instructions were vague about it and just how to lock them. I remember being really impressed finding that out on my own playing with the toy like 2 or 3 years after it came out. people rag on BW toys for being simple, but there's a lot of interesting engineering consideration within the figures back then.

>>11805648
I really loved those basic figures that had a spring mechanic that transformed them

Shit that reminds me of when I first joined /toy/

I just hate gobots to begin with so if there's any degree of legal murk dont do em!

>diaclone is way cooler and more mature than transformers
I mean the entire concept of interacting with little pilot figures. Obviously the Diaclone Vanette transforms, but it acts more like a little playset. If you're an adult Transformers fan interested in transformations and humanoid robots, G1 Optimus and Sideswipe are pretty enduring and appealing to this day (in my opinion, as someone born a decade after they came out). G1 Ratchet not so much.

We still need Buggyman and Man-o-War.

>>11805671
And Rest-Q.
