You need to file down the peg a little along one of the long sides(not the top), then it'll fit.

If he's anything like KO Sideswipe (he is exactly like KO Sideswipe) you're better off embiggening the slot on the underside of his chest/bumper than trying to file the tab down IMHO.

Uh, they were pretty up front about those being based on concepts and mockups that weren't approved yet. I mean the Hot Shot is his Universe head jacked onto a Titanmaster.

WJ clearly has an insider at the factories to pass them the CAD files. I want to check out the real toy in person before I throw down on the KO. Also saw the film and jesus CHRIST.

I really like Badcube Sunsurge. He's so poseable, he explodes and comes back together to transform, he's got a good assortment of accessories. I like the car mode, the fake chest doesn't bother me one bit. The only things I don't like are his missiles don't attach to his gun any more, and he's got more than a few cracks in joints. Which I've bitched about before. Tonight I found two more of those after transforming him for the first time in a few months. Nothing that'll spread and cause more cracks, but they're there and they disturb my poo poo. So I don't feel so bad about having put in a preorder on the real one anymore.

TFRazorsaw posted:I mean FunPub was pretty awful but I frikkin need this Jetfire That's pretty cool though. This was the line you wanted someone like FunPub around for, the gimmick oozes potential repaints. That being said, we don't know if Hascon will have exclusives, do we?

I am not fully aware of everything that company has ever done, you know. I said that because I'm aware they have extremely bad business practices and poor behavior and I didn't want to sound like I was ignoring that because of a toy I wanted. HasCon says it'll have an exclusive toy but it'll probably be in the same vein as stuff they sell at SDCC. They age of exclusives built around obscure characters seems to be over.

So they're just gonna throw some sloppy paint on a bunch of bots each year and call them "unreleased exclusives?"

Well, this one was just unrealized ideas for what they'd do for the next year's convention with a few customs being given away as part of a raffle. There's no talk about them doing another one. edit - apparently they said at the con they wouldn't be doing this sort of thing again.

 Why would you repaint an Optimus Prime into a slightly different Optimus Prime? Granted this one does look better because of the added paint apps, but it still feels like a waste of an exclusive repaint slot.

they were going for actionmaster Prime. It's a pretty dumb idea.Rhyno posted:WHo was it that told me I was an rear end in a top hat for saying all child actors were bad without seeing TF5 first? I thought Isabela Moner was one of the people who did a great job, personally.

DoctorWhat posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yki2nEC7jD4 TCracker and the other guy who got it early were having some problems tabbing the thing together in altmode, but drat it's so impressive. Speaking of Prime I got my Leader OP outta storage to transform him again and he's still so, so good. And that's considering he's what I presume is the shittiest version -the battle-damage Hooks version- but goddamn it's such a great toy. I didn't remember his waist hinges being so frighteningly tight during transformation however, maybe it got like this with time?

Are you referring to the Rey clone, or the Stranger Things misfit group of kids in the movie? Either way, I agree. I also agree that child actors are generally terrible with very, very few exceptions. Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones is probably the standout exception there.

I love how the MP is such an iteration on the ROTF Leader. I love seeing iterative and revolutionary design trends. Like, there's a lot of the ROTF leader, but there's also some Battle Blades in terms of how the torso forms up, and even shades of the DOTM voyager in how the backpack compresses. The way the MP uses the real headlights is wild. DoctorWhat fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jun 25, 2017 |

I gotta say as much as I admire what they did with the Battle Blades voyager, I've fallen out of love with it as time went by. It's oddly proportioned as a robot and the transformation is way more of a hassle than even the Leader, plus I once forgot that you were supposed to flip his backpack open for some steps and trying to brute force it I ended up with a nasty scratch on his roof and I'm still mad at it after years  . It is a marvelously engineered toy however.Dang look at these pictures TCracker snapped up: Beautifulness
