Some set videos from Transformers 4. Optimus moves down the road. Suddenly, explosions! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4n3eqszkkE This one makes the Freightliner looks like it's chasing Optimus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlTjH4nHOpI

Just as an FYI apparently BBTS has the new Wreckers Ruination figures in stock. Since there have been zero announcements of them being released in Japan I bit the bullet and grabbed them. The Protoform X doesn't look half bad, but Transmutate? Really? I love Beast Wars like crazy but that figure is even giving me pause.

According to TFW2005, one of the upcoming subscription figures will be: "Ironfist from Generations 2.0 Roadbuster / Swindle 'because five Wreckers from Hasbro isn't enough'" Ok, first off, given they crappiness of that Wreckers combiner, 1 Wrecker from Hasbro is more than enough. Second, why the gently caress would I pay $90 for that lovely mold next year when there's a gorgeous 3rd party Ironfist coming out this year? The only way Hasbro's plan could be worse is if their version of Ironfist also gives you hep-c. But they made me that Rhinox so I still wuvvy wuv wuv them omg omg it's been a day and the high still hasn't worn off

What do subscription figures have to do with Hasbro?Ka0 posted:I'm so happy they made a Cosmos, even if it's legends (which is almost redundant since they already made a legends Cosmos years ago). I hope he shows up on Kre O and at least deluxe. edit: Yeah if I'm not clear that's my point, Swerve looks like a decent scout, not a legends.

Aren't those closer to commanders than legion size? Also they're more articulated than regular legends so Cosmos is a 100% upgrade.

Peaugh and Vangelus have reviews up for the first two members of the Retro-Future Glacialord and they look AMAZING. According to sources on Twitter, they'll be available at TFCon for 30 dollars a limb, 50 for the Torso. MAYBE only the first two will be available, the torso guy is still up in the air right now. They're like G1-aesthetic combiners, big and chunky and blocky, but with articulation hidden inside and around the limbs. They're also all headmasters and have scramble-city compatibility with G1 combiners.

Maybe it's just because they've hit the top two slots of my wish list* (Blitzwing and Rhinox) but I am ready to declare this 30th Anniversary thing a success based on these reveals even if this is all we get until the movie line. Have I mentioned lately how wrong I was that Classics-style stuff is dead? I brought that idea up often enough that my incorrectitude bears repeating. Because even with the QC and plastic quality being so dismal right now, I was just brimming over with wrongness. Pass the crow. Etc. *Ironfist is No. 3 so you could make a case they gave me my top three but that's really more of a "monkey's paw" fulfillment rather than actually producing a new mold or using one of the half-dozen molds that'd make a GREAT Ironfist.

I haven't purchased a Transformer since the US Masterpiece Rodimus release (I pretty much only get Masterpiece releases) but that Metroplex is mighty tempting. The Beast Wars toys look nice too.

I love Scramble City combiners, and this one looks like it's gonna be a blast. Makes me think of a ice age themed Predaking. The only downside for me is that the two robot modes seen so far look really similar, but I guess if you're going for that G1 brick-robot style there's not a lot you can do to change it. The headmaster gimmick is a nice treat on top of everything, and for that price, I'm picking this up as soon as it's available.

It's going to be a nice break from the other third party combiners with their insane pricepoints and massive size. I think FP actually made a really competitive decision here.

In regards to the hilariously bad upcoming BH deluxes, I'm glad they're at least focusing their effort on making the 30th anniv. Generations figures excellent. I probably wouldn't have been able to muster up any amount of care for upcoming Beast Hunters dudes even if they were actually made well, so relegating those toys to KO-quality legends upscales doesn't really make me that mad. Plus, new Cosmos! (The old legends Cosmos was both terrible and hard-to-find so I wholeheartedly welcome another iteration of ~*SPACE DOORBELL*~)

I hope you're right, but I still remember the months of nothing in the springs of 2009 and 2011. Veg posted:Im more suprised we're seeing Whirl instead of, yknow.. Rodimus but I'll buy all the MTMTE figures anyway. Maybe they wanted to renew the trademark on Whirl. Or, since they don't like to cross the streams on the CHUG line and the main line...maybe Rodimus is making an appearance in TF4.

The MTMTE and BW stuff looks great so far, high hopes for what Whirl will look like. What's the story with US releases for all the current MPs? Will Sideswipe make it stateside?

Rodimus' wasn't going to get a voyager with his MTME altmode, and as a deluxe it would be another sports car on the shelf fighting for space with all the Bumblebees.

Well at least $120 is an insanely good price for MP Soundwave and his five cassettes. Now to see how many of us actually are lucky enough to pay that price.

I wonder if I should get Glaciallord. At $30 a pop, with a $50 leader, they end up at about $170. I also don't have a Computron or Abominus. For that much, I could probably get one of those, too. Okay, well, maybe I should get a Computron and Glacial Lord, because let's be honest here, except for Hun-Grrr all the Terrorcons look like happy meal toys.

The important thing to know about Soundwave is if his arm and fingers are poseable enough to tap his own eject button. And if he's thick enough to put multiple tapes in his chest at once, so they can keep coming out in one go.

But I'm extra careful with the index finger since it can pop off and fly away easily if you're careless. Other than that it's a dream toy and I love mine and its five minions to death. You guys HAVE to get this one, don't miss out.
