My combiners thus far.

1) Superion
[attachmentid=5690480]

My first combiner which also marked the beginning of my collector's rage. Oblivious towards local hobby shops, I was running between TRUs to search for its limbs and it really costs me, literally. Few weeks after I've completed the 1st wave then TakTom announced that they will release a more G1 accurate mold (with colors and Slingshot). What ticks me off is that when Hasbro also announced they will released Quickslinger but won't be available in the common market which explains why I have 2 Firefly(s). No regrets however.

2) Menasor
[attachmentid=5690484]

I had no intention of completing this and was intending to sell of Dragstrip which comes together as a bundle in the 1st wave but after Perfect Effect announced their release of PC-01 and PC-04, suddenly Menasor makes sense. Although with both additions, Menasor only improves aesthetically. The "play-ability" and "pose-ability" remains plagued. The greatest issue with this figure until today is the weigh distribution, it seems Menasor is top heavy and the shoulder joints are poorly executed. A twist will cause it to un-peg and a slight push on the figure will cause it to topple. However, it looks amazingly good in display and I dare say, the best looking combiner amongst the 3.

3) Defensor
[attachmentid=5690489]

I finally decided to wait out for the Taktom version for cartoon accuracy but apparently unlike its previous 2 releases, Defensor seems to have less paint jobs for the sake of accuracy. At this point, it appears to be a bad decision but then again, a new mold Groove will be included. Took the bait and it turns out despite the "lesser" paint job, the figure looks amazingly good as a whole. Though Hasbro's Hotspot has more intricate paint jobs but I dislike its "too black" torso. Taktom's seems perfectly balanced. Despite what others has been complaining, I think I have made the right choice although I have to pay slightly more.

4) Devastator
[attachmentid=5690491]

The first Titan Class in the Combiner Wars line. So much criticism when it was announced by Hasbro. Everyone thought it was a bad idea but I knew it was the right size for something with Devastator's notorious characteristics. Too much negativity by the fandom, be it its combined form or individually but it did not stop me because I think that Hasbro managed to nailed how Devastator should be in this figure. Taktom announces their take on the Devastator however with the extra costs and the addition of things that is neglectable to me.

I still cannot get it though but the fandom has been complaining that Devastator's head is too small 

Erkkkk

U misss the ship bro...
Fuh.. i tot everyone knew

Klik at ur own risk

I have Hotrod in the PO list so that's coming soon. Still waiting for Takara to work wonders on Bruticus and the fact that until now there is still no news on it seems to favor the fact that we "may" get Blastoff in a new mold but i'm really anticipating what Takara will do to Bruticus since the Hasbro's version in itself already isn't bad =O

I'm really hoping that Technobots are in the working somewhere along the pipeline though the rumors for this is very dim. I just cannot get over the fact that they released Scattershot but "made" him, Betatron?

In respect of Bay directing T5, I don't think there could be another better candidate to do so. So far, I think Bay has managed to depict Transformers in its best light to the audience. The problem with the franchise (other than T1) are with the script writers and the designers. Though it could be argued that Bay may have a say in these 2 but I highly doubt it.

Whatever it is, T5 looks promising with the addition of so many writers so I'm really looking forward to it but at the same time, I hope they don't introduce HotRod because if they do then they may have to kill off Optimus at some point =(

I didn't expect Jazz to die in such a manner -.- the Autobots' second in command. W.T.F. to that.

Ironhide's death was unexpected though and I couldn't care less about Ratchet's death haha.

the problem , main problem of Bayformers is the involvement of humans that ae more than the robots themselves, as well as the needless parade of US military's might.

can't blame them though 

bay kinda not bad in terms of cinematography but he seriously need help in the story department

"To light our darkest hour..."


Not sure if FansToys version will be any better but for the moment he's the best looking G1 Galvatron to date.

Not sure if this is old news or not but I haven't went to toysRus for quite a while
Was happy to see CW mirage & prowl on the shelf coz always interested in them

Till I see the price

I don't really see the problem here. Want more news of official products? Well, help contribute them to this thread so we can talk about them instead of going entirely off-topic by complaining about 3p? Just my 2cents.

For starters...Overlord confirmed for 2017(no pics, unfortunately) 
sos kicap

New RiD Windblade, beter face than the previous mold...it's more blue, and I still hate that RiD circle scanning thing...urgggh


And the disappointing Hasbro LioKaiser with Leozack/Jarugar fused as a single torso. Hopefully TakTom will call on this BS and actually engineer 2 new molds for them. Otherwise the 3p is gonna get more new here 

MP Inferno!

This better be bigger than Ironhide or else vehicle scale will look stupid next to each other.

alt-mode scale was NEVER the emphasis in MP, unfortunately...

ouh ^^!
luckily, my Ironhide turns out fine. i did not notice anything exceptionally tight and transformation has been mostly swift, simple and enjoyable to say the least XD i personally like how the chest part collapsed together though =P but the shoulder is a bit *mehhh*

well, i have both the UW Bruticus and UW Computron queuing in the pipeline and i'm collecting my MP Ratchet this coming week (i know, slowpoke.jpg) but really, I didn't started off collecting very much earlier but I already feel the pinch of the increase in price... dayuum~

you are right in respect of the Beast Wars. The only saving grace currently XD wasn't into the whole Beast War genre. I still remember watching it in the mornings on Metro Vision and I was like "heck~ why is Megatron a T-Rex and Optimus a Gorilla o_O?"

New image for MP Inferno with a small image on how the ladder folds inside his tosro for bot mode 

Megatron for TF5 actually looks quite good



real product image

the time we are still hoping Jazz is alive, Bay wont give a darn shxt about us, and he will never care..

adoi.....last part BB break apart n joint back is like this toy.......

what robot is that the one that only have legs fight with bumblebee? that not look like any trnasformers...
