Transformers Thread

Wow that Jetfire looks gorgeous, I must have it! I picked up the Masterpiece Soundwave last summer at the San Diego Comic Con and I love it.

New TF game that seems to be a mix of the FOC universe and the live action movies…

shit and shittier?

It is NOT from the developer of the War For /Fall of Cybertron (High Moon), but rather Edge of Reality.

Ummmm Optimus Prime ā€œEvasion Modeā€

While I think Generations Leader Jetfire looks awesome, this pic made me not look forward to the figure as much

It’s a faux chest. I must admit, I got a little sad when I saw that. It’s sculpted like the ā€œSkyfireā€ in some respects. I just don’t know why the just don’t make a G1 TV accurate figure instead of an IDW/ G1 Crossover version. which is technically redo. IMO outside of the head scale, the Classics voyager looks to have a better transformation scheme and is a better figure.

Windblade, I just found out about her from the newest IDW comics. There’s 2 more female transformers with her. Are they creations of Jihaxus, too?

Evasion Mode Optimus must have been a figure they have been working on for years. The engineering behind it looks stellar. It’s by no means perfect, but I think as a Prime fanatic, it warrants purchase.

A shot of Jetfire from the rear. I’m not a huge Jetfire fan, so this is a skip for me. There’s nothing really interesting in the transformation. At this point you can tell you just flip it over, reposition the arms, unfold and rotate the legs and collapse the back. Place weapons and armor in appropriate locations. They could have done better than this IMO

I love Jetfire so he’s still getting copped by me.

That voice :lol:

But it’s an update to Gunblade NY/LA Machineguns, so I’m hyped.

i still need to play the War and fall of cybertron games.

Although this supposedly a movie tie in and not a sequel to the first two Cybertron ones.

bot mode looks good on jetfire. transfornationscheme, alt mode all look better on older model. bot mode looks great on both, maybe a slight edge for this ones front and the others back.

Oh the bot mode is serious. Alt mode looks cool, but more towards a Macross Valkyrie. I know that’s what the OG Figure was, but I think they could do a G1 TV Skyfire by now.

So Transformers Cloud Starscream has been revealed. This is . . . . . .different

That unfavorably reminds me of Jumpstarter. :\

I guess Blitzwing wasn’t good enough to market this mis-colored triple-changer :bluu:

Still… I wonder when the Skywarp repaint will be ready…

If they made a Skywarp version, I’d get it. However, it’s sad that Blitzwing was the least favorable use of the mold.

I need a dad recommendation. My son is almost 3 and I was thinking of getting him a Transformer for his birthday in April. He’s been playing with the joints from 5 Below, but I was hoping to get him
a) Megatron
b) A easy to transform transformer

Any ideas? IF not Megatron - a Soundwave that makes noise.

Got to start them young :arazz:

  • :bluu:

for Megatron, I have 2 ideas.

  1. Generations Legends Megatron. Smaller toy, but easier to transform. 10 dollars approx.
  1. IDW Deluxe Megatron. ā€œStandard sizeā€ = 5inch. 15 bucks. Slightly harder, and he is in black stealth bomber body if thats an issue

Im not sure of a soundwave that makes sounds sorry.
