Transformers megathread!

[Benomatic]

Mine are all in packages due to zero storage space for now.

Someone on the tfw2005 boards made a 3d diorama out of the Masterpiece Shockwave that homaged that cover. Drew on the shadows and highlights and everything.

I'll never be able to find it now of course.

Is this your Silverstreak? Alternators version.



I should get one of that mould, one of the few Alternators with a decent robot mode.

Yea, that was it, Alternators, couldn't remember the name of the line. I have the Grimlock too @Endus even if it is kind of a sad non-dino car. Hound was a good one because his alternate vehicle was still a jeep.

[Mormolyce]

That would be pretty interesting I thought either Motor Master or Ultra Magnus who was the favorite to take over for Optimus before that Hot Rod hehe.

Transformission Motormaster and Menasor combined mode below. I think these are all available now.

There's more coming out this year though from different 3P manufacturers, with a more G1 aesthetic.

Beast wars is still my all time favorite TF series who doesn't like a transformer quoting Shakespeare while fighting and of course the universal chew toy that was Waspinator.

Also Like Mormolyce I collect too but I only collect Decepticons still waiting to find a one piece to finish my Combiner wars set.

Seen the new Masterpiece Dinobot?



I don't really collect BW, but I have their Cheetor, he's really awesome.

Optimus is A> a pickup and not a big-rig, and B> made of argh;



It's not even just that he looks pretty eh, compared to Jazz and Grimlock his transformation is more awkward and fiddly and doesn't hold together nearly as well, in either robot OR vehicle mode.

I have the Kiss Players version of Alternators Prime (you don't want to know). Definitely one of the better moulds.

I especially like his surfboard sword :P

Do most of the people who have them keep them in the box or take them out?, because I keep mine in the box.

I think 80s G1 toys in original boxes are worth a lot, several grand in some cases. More recent stuff, not really.

They always seem to get Hound right. I guess it's hard to mess up a Jeep.

Man Motormaster looks sweet af.

Also yea I saw it he looks really like his cartoon counterpart more than his older moulds ever did I have the Transmetal 2 version some where in a old moving box but he looks really sweet.

I stupidly passed up on a Bruticus set. Regret that so much.

Yeah, my wife was awesome and bought be Devastator. The rest of the combiners are...okay, but they feel very "samey". I missed out on the Aerialbots tho, which was a bummer, but I happily got Bruticus. I think I may have missed Sixshot by a little bit...which makes me sad, but I got Soundwave, which frankly is a really good redo of the original toy.

The current direction of toys seems to be headed for a dumbed-down child-friendly direction...but we've been through this before so I'm hoping they change their minds on that after a couple years.

[thealmightymoo]

i got a masterpiece last knight optimus, which apparently is nothing to be proud of.

but i have always wanted Devastator. either G1 or the more pose-able combiner wars one

[Benomatic]

Small sample

Some more

[endersblade]

I know I had a lot of them as a kid. Back when they were made with metal parts. I wish I still had them, I'm sure they're worth a fortune now. I had tubs and tubs of those things under my bed.

I really like the Bay movies as far as the transformers go. The human side is...eh. I couldn't care less.

I was glad I got the reissue and the titans return version. The fort max is stupidly sized

There's a Zeta-Ex Masterpiece scale Aerialbot set that's in the works at the moment, I think Air Raid and one or two others are out already:




There's also a Fans Toys version but they're all in the prototype stage so far.

I imagine the whole set will be in the $500 plus range though :P

You mean MPM-04? I thought he was based on Prime's appearance in the previous films.

[Benomatic]

@Mormolyce Airstrike has been reportedly riddled with QC issues. Expect a new version in the works

[Vaelorian]

Born in '78 so generation 1 transformers were my thing. Watched the cartoon religiously. Was very VERY heartbroken when Optimus Prime died. And again when he died in that episode where one of those (just cannot remember the name) tentacle turning faces thing made him obey but he broke free...

I bawled my eyes out. That was also when I no longer could watch transformers. Optimus Prime was my ultimate hero for a long long time.

I still have my generation 1 optimus prime and many of those transformers that could merge (abomination or superior etc)

I srsly hope you're not 18+

I srsly doubt you are 20+

Thank you!!!

[Lochton]

I thought first we were to talk about transformers, you know, as in the electrical supply business.

And well, for the franchise, I honestly can't recall them all. Used to like Jetfire, Soundwave and Shockwave.

[Gimlix]

I srsly doubt you are 20+

I am actually

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

I srsly hope you're not 18+

What a surprise, Gimlix is being judgemental again.
