Figure / Part ID This working Optimus Prime figure in the TMII

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Okay so a few hours ago, I was going on an educational trip to the TMII (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah), basically the Electricity and New Energy Museum (or the "Museum Listrik dan Energi Baru"), then midway through the trip, there's a working Optimus Prime figure that follows orders, so we all (basically the boys classes) gathered around the table, and saw it in its Autobot glory. After that, a student near it first has to say "Hey Optimus Prime," and anything listed on the paper (example: Transform.) It even has 15+ voicelines, too!

Discussion / Opinion How likely will Age of the Primes Brawl and Blast Off be reissued soon?

0 Upvotes

I joined the Bruticus game a little late and now have both Onslaught and Swindle, and I can buy Vortex online for retail right now, but obviously I still need Blastoff and Brawl. Does anyone know of any rumored reissue dates or if they will reissue them at all? I know they are retooling Brawl and Blastoff into Guzzle and Skyguard, but I'd rather get the originals. In the meantime I could waitlist them on Big Bad Toy store, is that my best option? I don't wanna pay way more than their retail prices. Thank you.

THIS IS NOT A SALE/ADVERTISEMENT POST

So I bought this ko sa bumblebee (baiwei wasp warrior) and it turns out it's wayy to big in terms of scale compared to the ss ko optimus I have from the same company. So since the day I took it out of the box and compared the size to my optimus prime figure I've been trying to sell it for the price I bought it on different platforms in india( cus i live here). It's been 2 months and I've been pretty unsuccessful at it and tbh I'm losing patience. It is a really nice figure and i feel like it's a shame that it's staying in a box like this. I have found a correct scale ko of bumblebee (brave wasp bb08) and I can get it for roughly the same price I got this for. I'm torn between opening the one I have and keeping it and save up to buy the correct size one wayy later or keep it in the box to sell and buy the one I want (hopefully) sooner. My collection is non-existent rn so I don't really want 2 of the same charecters this soon but if I keep this one I would have no choice. What do you guys think I should do?

Lazerbeak is a tape cassette while still on Cybertron long before they end up on Earth. It's his bird/condor mode that actually changes when they get to earth.

Currently watching season 3. The tone is pretty similar to TFA, and the writing is fairly good in my opinion.

Continuity wise I personally consider the first 3 seasons took place sometime during TFP season 1 & 2. While season 4 I was told took place during RID 2015

Discussion / Opinion Need Help Collecting

0 Upvotes

Hello! I wanna start collecting figures since I've always loved transformers and needed something to collect since i never spend money on myself lol. Anyways I've done some research and I've come to the conclusion that id like more 3rd or 4th party figures since i want figures that look good but also pose well. I'm also totally okay with getting non transforming figures. My main question is just where is the best place to buy the figures I'm looking for? Any help is welcome and thank you!

0 Upvotes

Hey everybody. I'm unemployed but am starting the process of job hunting soon. As the title says, I can't afford the Overgear blackout pre-order. How difficult would it be to look for one on the third market in 2027, where I hope to have gathered enough money to purchase one?

Finally, how much of a mark-up can I expect with a figure of this caliber?

Discussion / Opinion Autobot Evac: I hate how there's not more of him!!!

2 Upvotes

Three years ago, I had made a fake concept box for a Studio Series 4-Pack during April Fools to throw off r/Transformers. Fair to say it worked a little, and three years later I'm still waiting for that damn Studio Series Autobot Evac.

Shame we will most likely never see it, given how old the Ride is and the fact that its only SS exclusive was not only released during the pandemic and sold on Amazon because of that, but because the Megatron costume was making the rounds around Tiktok and other socials due to how funny it was.

Speaking about that, I'm surprised there was never an Evac costume made! It seemed fit, but I guess they were never planning to make him mainstream, guess it'd be a "Who is this?" kinda situation. Who the hell would wanna take pictures with him?? WHO, RIGHT?? (Me. That's me.) Besides that, Evac's already kind of The Ride's vehicle so I guess that'd be a "confusing" situation but it doesn't make sense when you think about it since all other 3 bots are also present during the Ride.

Going back to SS Evac, I honestly wouldn't even be that mad if he was just a retool of SS Barricade. Make some adjustments to the mold like the feet and the head (and vehicle mode I guess) and that'd be a pretty good Evac. Maybe SS Roadbuster, but I think that TLK Barricade comes closest (overall, since Roadbuster doesn't fully transform like Evac- They just share a reused CGI model.) It'd also be a funny parallel- Given how my favorite bots for each side are both Ride Evac and Barricade respectively.

Or give him a damn CHUG already! Anything with him apart from that damn helicopter from Cybertron!

It's sad to see this character being erased completely, at least from the merchandising department. Not even the goddamn like 100-300 dollar statues remain. I wanna see more of him! I really wish the fandom also shared my sentiment, or at least as much as me.

Discussion / Opinion Would you buy Blokees of Human Characters

2 Upvotes

As the title states, I think there's a missed opportunity to throw in some human characters or even do a whole wave of them in Blokees. Obviously Defender is ideal for scaling with other figures but you can do Galaxy too why not. It would just be cool to have little scaled posable versions of classic human allies and enemies from various Transformers fiction to hang out with your Autobots or aid your Decepticons. Plus they have experience doing humanoid figures at the Defender scale with their Batman shit.

Discussion / Opinion Should we separate post 2018 toys from the CHUG label?

CHUG is a term we use to refer to figures that released in the Classics, Henkei Henkei, Universe, and Generations toylines.
These lines are coupled together because they all share similar aesthetics and design philosophies - you can collect figures from all these toylines and feel like they fit with one another.

However, with the introduction of the Studio Series in 2018 (still underneath the Generations label), I feel like the intention behind the toy designs was moved away from “new G1” and incorporating cues from different continuities (IDW), and was instead focused on source-accuracy.

Now that’s obvious for SS, that’s the whole point, but we see that in WFC, Legacy, and now Age of the Primes as well.

The hyper G1 accurate/“G1-ified” figures from these modern Generations toylines don’t really fit in with older Generations figures in my opinion.
Since the whole idea of the CHUG label is that they all fit in with each other, maybe we should call post 2018 toys “New Generations” or something?

What do you think?

You can see it has a lot more play before it starts clicking unlike the right, moving the leg back is also a lot quieter than the other leg. Is this worth emailing support or just deal with it? This is a $100 figure after all, but I’m worried a replacement could possibly be worse
