The Goon posted:Here's a pic of a Metroplex that's had a panel lining wash added to it. It looked awesome enough that I may attempt it on my own once I get it: If it's between this or a car downpayment, car wins. But it comes close. Oh, so very close.

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.

I bought encore omega supreme from TFSource. They put double styrofoam inserts between the box and the outer package as well as using super tight bubblewrapping. The box was also encased in a dual layer cardboard harness. All in all their packaging is way superior to what bbts offers.

It's high time for generation 3 featuring a totally different cast and wildly outrageous concepts such as zero-g vehicle combat, genders and star harvesting.

Knormal posted:They have those for Transformers now too. I was in Toys R Us yesterday and watched a kid pick a 10" hollow rubber Prime Bumblebee over a real Transformer. The kid was like five so he wouldn't have been able to handle anything more than a legend figure anyway, and no young kid is going to pick a 2" figure over a 10" one regardless of quality. Thus the upscaled legends. I stopped by a supermarket to pick up some food and they had these enormous 12" blown up rubber dolls of optimus prime and bumblebee. I am not loving kidding. They looked like those china market knockoffs you buy for a dollar or 2, except these had "HASBRO" on the boxes and were priced at about $18. I could not believe my goddamn eyes.

Phy posted:Specifically Car Robots. Fire Convoy may have been the first real "WE'RE BACK MOTHERFUCKERS" for vehicular Transformers, but check your fuckin' tires if you have one. I've got an Optimus and Ultra Magnus that have been chilling back in their boxes for the last five years and I'm afraid to look now. Can't you just crazy-glue them back together.

I am somewhat confused. Is the new BH Predaking a redeco of the existing Predaking or a newer, cheapo and less articulated mold? (ala an upscaled cyberverse) This is the one I'm talking about :

TheDK posted:Also, I've recently become the owner of a HFTD Payload and I need some opinions before I open it because this guy looks like a certified piece of yellow poo poo in the box. The alt mode appears to be the only saving grace as it does look exactly like a Tonka truck. So, any Payload owners out there care to comment on him? Transform him. Then change your opinion. Granted I like mine because he looks like a proper mean robot with insanely huge legs and switchblades. Loader mode is awesome.

Keldroc posted:The main difference is that most of the HftD and RtS original molds had actual faces instead of the bug-mouthed junk sculptures that pass for heads in the movie designs. Because of that, they don't look out of place with the Generations figures for the most part. I don't really see why Seaspray doesn't fit but Classics Powerglide does, but as we know, categorization is a bone of contention in the fandom. There are people who insist that Generations Metroplex is not FoC Metroplex, because he's part of the Generations continuity (whatever that is), not the "Aligned" continuity, even though he uses the FoC design, features FoC characters on his box art, and speaks phrases from FoC. I maintain "aligned" continuity is some aspergers bullshit someone made up to have bumblebee mute and boring. It makes absolutely no sense, is completely unnecesary and who cares, they're just toys.

I can't believe this toy is 10 years old: Yes I know the mold itself is even older. I just like some of those early 2003ish universes like the Inferno redeco of RiD Prowl or Reptilion.

Gammatron 64 posted:Yes. Mr. "Creepy Whispery Guy" Sean Long bought a $200 Animated Blitzwing a week before it came out in stores, and that's not even the half of it. Also he binge-collected for a time basically everything and anything on toy aisles. DC, Neca, batman, star wars crap you name it. His house looked like a hoarder den.

I preordered Diesel from BBTS but it comes with some "M3 Crossfire kit" which I assume is the combiner kibble. Am I correct?

Blackheart posted:Is he really getting that much poo poo? I kinda stopped following not menasor, if they offer a giftset in the future I might bite. I just saw some pictures and Motormaster looks pretty decent. The thread at TFW is an absolute shitstorm, plus the general view (read: 8 out of 10 fans) isn't favorable due to panelforming/colors/not having tiny truck feet on robot mode/ being a saggitarius/ you pick your peeve.
