Have any of the current Titans (I own none) showed significant departure from the core original gimmicks?

Because that sounds like a fantastic idea and yet I feel like it's just going to be slightly updated Omega Supreme and I get a little sad.

Comparisons of the NBK and the JJ Constructicon KOs are hitting and it looks like the JJ's are far more simplified and crappy for sure.

Not really, no. But if any of them should be by modern design standards, it's probably Omega. Otherwise it's a lot of loose parts that can be lost, and that's not good for play pattern.

We also have no idea if and how the Titan class figures will mesh with the current gimmicks. We have to wait for Predaking.

Good point. Maybe we'll see something really different then.

Unrelated, pay $36 at American Retailers to say nah Roberts, I didn't like your twist



Doesn't really look like anyone. DJD is POing for 70+70+60+36. So even more than Bruticus, but I imagine Tarn is going to sell a ton by himself. Pretty much confirms he's basically an energon combiner. With partsforming.

And a vaguely horseshoe shaped console behind them all. If his alt mode is something vaguely Ark-shaped the whole bit could fit under a hinged transparent cockpit to act as a skylight and let you see the little dudes inside as you struggle to hoist the massive thing to swoosh it

As someone who hasn't kept up with the comics since one of them was still called MTMTE and some time travel stuff happened in it, I've been wondering about that actually. Like what part of them is the problem, specifically? Windblade was basically an OC and I did quite like her. (And I guess her now having a solid place in the Transformers "canon" with the new TV shows and stuff is a pretty positive development.)
I honestly don't understand the problem. I am reasonably content with the state of Transformers except for the somewhat hamfisted "Hasbroverse" stuff wedged in there.

You’re conflating two groups of people. I’m not saying there isn’t some overlap but you’re making a weird assumption. “Nothing but OCs talking to each other” is pretty close to my ideal pitch for a TF....fiction thing. Comic, show, whatever.

Edit: Ideal in the hands of a writer that’s not too busy trying to achieve peak Whedon by huffing his own farts, that is.
I am doing exactly that for comedic effect, but it's still funny that two chunks of the fanbase are saying that the want they have which is not being met is this specific thing which very much exists without even looking at third party offerings.

I think they mentioned Razorclaw will have his own "Matrix" which is the new gimmick thingy with the "armor pieces" and primemasters.

So I guess he's Predaking Prime now or something like that, which at least sounds pretty badass.

If that's the case then I'm going to call this now: Razorclaw will be Leader class and have the same evolution gimmick as the other Leader class figures including having their own Matrix.

And I want it.

They've already said all five are Voyager-sized. It probably just plugs into the chest and makes the lion mane go super saiyan or something.

Yeah they have to combine so using the evolution gimmick on top of that would be too much.

They're just a code and they usually advertise it on the Ebay home page. No idea why there wasn't one yesterday but it saved me from spending money I guess.

I rearranged my backdrop plates to go vertical instead of horizontal. A bit more structurally sound this way and to do the full second side I only need four more.


Unless I decide I need this to be as tall as a TW/Zeta combiner in which case....

JinBao, the guys who OS'd Feral Rex and Warbotron have announced an OS'd Gravity Builder.



quote:

Translation-

Tittle - 3D printed sample

Enlarged by 1.2 times (size wise, be on a par with Jinbao’s Predaking and combaticons)

No transformation simplifications

A ton of corrections and improvements

Better plastic quality

MP size compatible

Due before 2018 (maybe Chinese New Year, I am not sure, maybe can go either way?)

So bigger but not Constructor levels. I'm still gonna finish out the NBK but this might be another fun one to get.
