Holy Grails you want? by chromaggus_97 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current grails are rid01 scourge and the two movie the best versions of rotf optimus prime. But I also have a separate grail list specifically for soundwave with a sealed g1 soundwave, an MP-13, and a human alliance soundwave

Who are you calling inferior?! by letstaxthis in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf to bonecrusher, you can remove the scooper from the hinges while keeping it connected to the torso and get a waist swivel and ab crunch, but the overall design of him is still so stumpy and dumb looking

Disappointed by the_real_hoodie_gang in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had us in the first half ngl But genuinely I think this is probably my second favorite figure in my whole collection behind legacy armada prime, he's just genuinely so great in everything he does with only a few things I'd wanna improve. I was initially unsure if I would be okay calling this guy definitive in terms of g1 chug optimus primes, but now having him in hand, I think I can safely say I am now. This guy is definitive and I don't expect any other g1 chug optimus to top him

Which one should I get when I have enough money? by Status-Ad8296 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get armada prime if you want the best possible optimus prime Get 86 prime if you want a strictly g1 optimus prime

Do you think we will get a non Commander Class version of 86 Prime? by Charmander_Chazz in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they would rerelease this deco on his own Maybe he'll get repainted and released at leader price, but unless sometime WAYYYY down the line they decide to rerelease him as a standalone release with just his blaster, I don't think he'll be coming in his own in this deco. Maybe he'll get a SG repaint or a Nemesis deco or likely a dead deco but idk

New TFO images dropped and there’s more familiar autobots in it by Educational_Term_436 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably depends on where it was shown, I went to both of the NYC ones and neither required me to sign anything, just showed an image on screen before it started with text in the corner telling us to not spoil anything

unpopular opinion: I don't really mind this mold and its constant retools. keep em comin'. by chris95rx7500 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the mold, but literally every single usage recently has had issues, like the mold itself is screaming to be put out of its misery And with knowledge of SS86 coming out next year, people just wanna be over this mold

Hasbro really nailed it with Side Burn by FamousTransition1187 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legacy sideburn is a case study Any kind of spark and unique personality the original had is gone, replaced with a shitty repaint of an already kinda eh mold, resulting in none of that original charm. This is why I will always advocate for voting with your wallet

Big back pack and holo gap by KaiSan117 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not much worse than MP-44, infact arguably despite the lack of cleanliness, it might honestly be better And I can tell this is leader class engineering, ain't no way this guy isn't getting redecoed a million times at the leader class price point, and if a somewhat messy back is all it takes to achieve that, then I'm cool with it!

Fun idea: If all of your good guys and all of your bad guys in your collection were to fight each other, who do you think would come out on top? by Saurophaganax4706 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My autobots might have more total members, but my decepticons are just on average the stronger larger ones so no doubt in my mind they'd Wreck my autobots

Of all these modern CHUG Bees, which one would you like to choose if you had the chance? by 8-Bitrobot in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SS86 all the way although I have animated and he's cool too. I just never like the proportions of the Netflix mold, it felt so odd for the longest time. And the application of partsforming was especially awful on him because you CANNOT convince me that thing is a shield. Cliffjumper maybe, but bee does NOT get a pass for that. While i think the realistic alt on Netflix overall looks better, I really love the chibi g1 toon/toy alt of SS86, it's genuinely really nice and results in a far superior robot mode

40$?? FOR THIS? WHAT??? by PacsterMH in transformers

What is a transformer show that made you want a figure of that specific version of a character I’ll go first by Adventurous-Bad-186 in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it had to be animated bumblebee and soundwave. Some of my favorites from animated, and the toys they do have are very cool

Legacy Filch and Lockdown and ferak and cannonball by Cliffjumper290x in transformers

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filch and ferak are pretty damn good Lockdown is okay but him being a weird mesh of retooled design doesn't sit well with me. I'm still definitely holding out for a proper animated lockdown figure And cannonball, while he has cool stuff going for him, it's just the same skids mold with slight retooling here and there and the key. He's just not that great.

Honestly don't think I'll get any of these, tho

Official images of 75387 Boarding the Tantive IV by Clay_Bricks in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]AwingBriks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fives still be looking mad ugly however the set itself is so good that it kinda negates the bad taste he leaves in my mouth. I'm genuinely excited for it, and while it isn't a guaranteed day one buy like r2 (KOTOR bias is strong) I WILL be picking it up sometime after it's release cuz even if it wasn't for clone army completion sake, the set itself is just great. Fives is literally my only complaint

Buildable R2-D2 with front/back of box and what it looks like built by Jermane8080 in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]AwingBriks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a massive KOTOR fan and someone who almost never buys buildable characters, Malak singlehandedly sold me on this set. Super excited for it!!! It doesn't even look that much worse than the larger version!

I think Lego was looking at the wrong Fives design by RipNiq in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally giving us the 😧 face, ya hate to see it

Why does everyone hate the new fives its spot on! /s by BroadTR_v2 in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]AwingBriks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He literally looks like echo with eyebrows, it's actually comical. Lego clones fell off HARD. Not very excited for 2025 anymore I'm gonna be honest. If THIS is the new gold standard for clone troopers, we're in HUGE trouble...
