No, there's still plenty we haven't seen yet. Almost everything we've seen is in the first two waves.

Do you mean the characters that wielded Targetmasters, or the little gun-bots themselves? If the former, maybe, but we haven't seen them. If the latter, we've seen Blowpipe and Aimless so far, with more to come.

 

The wielders. I really want a Point-blank from Counterpunch.

 

Yeah, this is what we were speculating off of in the Toy section.....




And here's the most recent "Speculation" there...

 

I really mean you no disrespect, so i'm sorry if this does disrespect you.

That's just ridiculous. "We" don't need 3rd party intervention. If someone needs a $75 KO/3P to replace a $26 Voyager at a bigger scale, they're doing this hobby wrong IMO.

yes yes, I know, to each their own. I just think being impossible to satisfy isn't something to ascribe to.

 

i don\'t care what anyone else thinks i love this line it\'s what i have always wanted I\'m about to sell half of the transformers i got and donate plasma to get all of these. 

 

Megatron sure looks like one of those Walmart exclusive figures and the cannon is way too far up on his arm and he has cheap plastic.

 

You're either joking, or in the wrong thread.

 

Thank you!

 

I respectfully disagree. The reason the third-party market continues to flourish is because HasTak isn't doing enough to satisfy the demands of adult collectors. Half-measures like CHUG homages and simplified G1 reissues may sell to mass-market retailers, but dedicated fans with disposable incomes need their plastic crack, and "we" have higher standards now (thanks to a wide range of fine 3P product, as well as HasTak's own Masterpiece line). "We" want more sophisticated, complex and accurate figures than they sell at Walmart.

 

Hardcore high-end standard collectors are still a numerical minority.
There's nothing wrong with having a desire for these standards, but it's absolutely ludicrous to bemoan Hasbro for not providing those standards in
a TF mainline.

Every single effing time it's the same old story when a new mainline launches and they go and moan about this and that.
Then it's the paint, then it's the hollow bits, then it's the kibble, then it's the lack of articulation, etc.
Back during CHUG 1.0 and 2.0 they didn't moan so much, simply because 3P wasn't fullgrown yet to provide complete alternatives en masse.

In short.... these guys ALWAYS judge mainline toys by MP standards.
The hardcore high-end collectors are so immersed in their own tunnelvision they're not even consiously aware they're doing exactly that.
Fortunately for these guys, 3P is there... which fullfills their desires to limited extent... because of course... they never copy & improve an entire mainline.

 

Sure, Hasbro can be more like 3P all they have to do is: release 1 or 2 figures every 12-18 months, triple or quadruple the price and release tons of 3D renders with no actual release date attached to them.

I like 3P but let’s get real. Complaining about HasTak in comparison to 3P options is like complaining that Honda makes a crappy Civic because it’s not a Lamborghini.

 

WTF are you talking about man?

 

lol. sad but true.

 

Are people still complaining about starscream ....if so shut up and be humble this starscream is a lot than that crappy mess we got in potp 

 

A lot better 

 

I have a soft spot for the Decepticons, so chances are I will only collect those.

 

For OpOp, the ape IS the alt mode. Along with that "ape pretending to be an aircraft".

Shockwave will have an alt mode even with the super mode stuff left to the side.

 

OpOo has a pretty convincing “hover tank” fan mode for the Primal portion.
