So I haven't been paying attention. Did they mention the price for voyagers and deluxes are going up? Looks like $30 and $20 in that article..

Buy the same characters from 1985 again but this time their car and truck modes have more bumps and holes because they're from space

Like the reason why I really like that Optimus is that it looks like an updated, upgraded Classics Voyager Prime. Who I have an extreme bias for, being my first Transformer I bought myself and the only one I still have. So I'm just hoping it's half as good as that fella was, on his own terms.

There's a lot of people complaining about him but Like He looks good? Truck mode is a bit odd but this legit looks like the best Optimus Prime voyager figure since...well Classics. No gimmick, no missing paint, it doesn't seem to be made of swiss cheese. The last few Optimi we've gotten in non animated series lines have had middling gimmicks to weigh them down, or were literally not that character and so only sort of worked I don't know maybe this one is secretly racist like that one Jazz. There just seem to be a lot of negativity about the poor guy when he looks like a good drat Transformer toy.

Xenomrph posted:I saw the words "War for Cybertron" and got excited because that video game ruled, but I'm guessing this is different from that (and more importantly, we're not getting another game in the series)? If there's a game it'll be mobile. Or maybe more remasters of WfC and FoC. I doubt we'll ever see a full-fledged PC/console TF game again.

It's another Optimus, of which there have been like a hundred by this point. The upper headlights are a little weird, but I could swear I've seem the, somewhere before. So are they done with the gimmicks now? Is generations just going to be catching the few (probably just G1) characters they haven't done justice? Combiner Wars/Titans Return/Power of the Primes had some issues with sameness, but the weird gimmicks prompted them to go off and do some weird engineering, I'm a little sad to see that go so that now there's the non-challenge of improving on 80s engineering. Because in my heart I don't so much care about the original characters of yore as I do about the cool engineering they could do now, but I still prefer Generations's aesthetic to the other lines going on right now. edit: I do dig the whole axe collapsing into a shield though SlothfulCobra fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Jul 14, 2018 |

There's no way they don;t slip a combiner or a headmaster into this line somewhere. There's tons of spacey/futury alt modes from the last few lines that could easily be retooled/repainted into new bots. Edit: This does loads for Predaking but at $50 it's probably gonna be a pass for me

That's a pretty sweet upgrade kit, yeah. If it came with something to give his midsection a bit more substance, it's be perfect.

The blue one is probably a helicopter, you can kinda see what looks like rotors on its back. The cockpit on his chest is hard to see, maybe it's a Cobra?

Edit: because I can’t remember how the wings attach to the torso piece. What does the sword do when predaking splits apart? Hammer, 4 smaller swords, and something else with the crosspiece?

I think the Siege of Cybertron figures look about as good as I could hope for Cybertronian-based figures, since I normally prefer realistic alt-modes. No blatant hollow limbs, at least not from those angles. The only thing I don't like is the spotty "weathering", but like someone else said I'll wait until we see the physical figures before I fully judge that. On a completely different topic, I bought Grotusque from Amazon so I can have the complete Monsterbot team, does anyone want the Scorponok headmaster it comes with? I also hadn't realized until getting it in hand Grotusque's headmaster is this guy: http://www.toyarchive.com/BattleBeasts/Figures/50SSTiger1a.jpg Pretty cool.

Makes sense considering Twinferno's was also a Battle Beast reference(and I believe Takara had that be the case for several other Titan Masters as well) Would be nice to see those guys get to show up more in US Transformers fiction, off the top of my head their only appearances in US fiction have been in one of the old Transformer/GI Joe crossovers, and their homeworld Beast showing up in the map of the galaxy in the All-Spark Almanac

Picked up a complete G1 Computron from a collectors market today, including instructions, weapons for all bots and sticker sheets. Looks like it was from a gift set as the instructions include all the smaller bots instructions as well as Scattershot and Computron. The figure is like brand new, but I don't see any references to this bot being reissued.

There was at least one KO of the boxset, all the easy KO tells are on the boxes so the seller or someone who owned before they got their hands on it might have ditched it. Is there much in the way of flash/extra plastic?
