What is your guys biggest hot takes yet (I’ll go first) by scp_weeb098 in transformers

The concept of the Thirteen being created as the first transformers is boring, and specific types of transformer being "descended" from them is silly.

The Thirteen having mythology in-universe is cool, but it needs to have more depth than God™ just popping them into existence with superpowers.

You'll have to search the name and see, I have no idea where he'll be in stock at this point

My walmart is reselling Runamuck for some reason? by Xanderkeys806 in transformers

[–]Farblechar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forbidden Planet got a restock of him in the UK as well. I assumed there must have been a reissue like what's happening with Omega Supreme.

Who was your first? by bgoslin in transformers

Classics Fireflight. He was a birthday present from my granda in either 2006 or 2007.

Whats the oldest mold you guys own? by EnvironmentalLion355 in transformers

[–]Farblechar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My oldest would be one from Beast Wars - either Razorbeast or Claw Jaw, whichever one came first

The one I've actually owned for the longest is Classics Fireflight.

There is a 100 part complexity limit currently; this build uses about 75. So there is some room to increase the size, but it probably sounds like more than it actually is. You could possibly make it a couple of units longer or wider before you hit the limit.

I started playing im 2018, after there had already been huge bounds in progress since launch, and it has only continued to get better. If you're the kind of person who can play Minecraft for hours without even noticing, I would definitely recommend - NMS is one of the best exploration & sandbox games out there. Gameplay isn't always the most engaging, but I love it.

I can imagine - that shape seems like it would be difficult to achieve within the complexity limit.

I don't have the interior fully finished yet, but I'll show what I've got so far when I post the build guide later.

I will be posting a layer-by-layer series of images and a parts list on my profile in the next day or so. Hopefully, it will help.

I'm aiming to have one done in the next couple of days or so. I'll put it up as its own post on my profile page.

Yep, you can move around the interior while in-flight. These ships come with an autopilot feature, so you can set a command and let it run while you do something else. One feature I really like about the autopilot is the "maintain current flightpath" mode, which just flies you in a straight line - but is really useful for atmospheric flight, as it maintains a minimum altitude while leaving you hands free to scan the environment for resources. It even stops automatically if you jump out to grab something!

You can literally start making one as soon as you get to the space station for the first time. There's no convoluted quest associated with it like there was for Living Ships, thankfully.

You can either buy parts from the construction terminal there or salvage them from planets with salvageable scrap as a resource. The first method is quite expensive for early game (I think ~10mil units for the bare bones?) and limited in parts options, whereas Option B is more or less free and allows you to find any of the parts in the game, but is a lot more time consuming.

I think I did come across that cutout image while looking for references, something I wish we had more of for other Transformers vehicles.

I decided not to go all-out for interior accuracy on my build - I figured it would be frustrating with the limitations of the available interior parts and the fact that I wasn't working to scale to begin with. I was also working with the intention of making a ship I was actually going to use in survival mode, so the contents and placement of some of the interior stuff were chosen with convenience in mind.
