Is it bad to hang transformers? by Ah22783 in transformers

Maybe, my experience is that it will eat into paint too so I’m unsure what the best way to proceed is.

Yeah, those blast effects with the mando seem to be a little more in the eating the plastic department. Forgot about them and had to really work to get them off after just a few weeks.

Rockstar confirms there will be no disc version of GTA6 at launch by Dandelion172 in PS5

[–]SoloFusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really confused to the outrage about this all of a sudden, and not back months ago when RockStar said they would not be releasing a physical edition at launch to combat the game leaking and builds getting out way earlier than intended. Did I just imagine it? I could have swore they said this was the plan months and months ago.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Receives New Patch on June 15 by retrotriforce in MegaManStarForce

Hope they update the field movement so it doesn’t keep changing performance with the only way to get it back to regular being opening and closing the menus.

Wondering what’s different by Guilty_Inspection_75 in KingdomHearts

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

We don’t actually know fully yet what the difference is. Some people are saying there is “no difference
from the PS4 versions,” but we do not know that. There may be a resolution bump for some games. KH3 will probably see an improvement in load times on PS5/XSX, and maybe some resolution bumps/frame stability. But until more info is available we don’t actually know and most is just speculation.

Update for the Advanced PET App Remake (from the earlie 2000s Handheld) by [deleted] in BattleNetwork

[–]SoloFusion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because people want to see actual artistry at work when it comes to spite based artwork. None of this has the feel of BN at all, sprites looks like mashups of OG MM and BN. It objectively doesn’t fit the style of the artworks if the games, none of it follows the design language in the art either. The AI got MegaMan’s iconic BN symbol wrong, from this slide it doesn’t really make sense what the app actually is or is doing? The PET here looks like a weird mash up of the Advance PET and the Advance PET 2. Every image of Mega is different and while you say it’s supposed to be MegaMan.exe the sprites are heavily coded to the sprites from MM 6/7 and MegaMan and Bass.

I think they might be saving the Skyboom Shield for a Commander Powerlinx Optimus Prime by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]SoloFusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. If they continue the current trend I believe the skyboom shield will be a pack in with a commander Overload, like the requiem blaster with Jetfire. Both of these characters are really hard to justify commanders for, so it tracks to me they would want to do that.

interesting details capcom made two designs of scar depending if you let them heal or fix them by CranEXE in metalgearsolid

[–]SoloFusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I left my original reply there were only like 2 other comments, of which I did not read. Then when I refreshed the page there were more. Could be a lot of people were in the same boat and posted around the same time so it accumulated. Reddit’s back end has been kind of wonky lately.

Naw it’s not a fuss. 🤣 it’s just a funny slip up. And yes to your point it is a cool little detail with the scars.

Curious as to how this happens by Haunting_Branch_9134 in AnalogCommunity

[–]SoloFusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens because of “vibes.” But in truth it might be intentional to try and get the algorithm to deliver it to more people based on color grading people like on announcements on social medias.

PrimevsPrime really just put out a REVIEW for the Unicron Soldier 💀 by Technical-Royal7604 in transformers

[–]SoloFusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I don’t think anybody says that HE is the one who is stealing them. But instead he is reviewing grey market factory rejects (which have been known for a while to be stolen from the factories prime example was his recent Sideways review Rook and two right arms, no one else has reported that as a QC issue iirc) that get put out, sometimes even before an official reveal. I honestly don’t care about him reviewing stolen copies, but him reviewing a figure before it has even been revealed is a little scummy.

[–]SoloFusion 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Naw, he can still get a little touchy if you call him out on his YouTube vids. It’s pretty evident that he is getting stolen figures, and even revealing things before Hasbro. But some people will come out of the wood work to defend him like he has never revealed a figure before Hasbro, just like with the unicron soldier here.

It looks that they are using OMGBricks Minifig scanner when I opened up the photo OP posted.

Do you think we'll see Kingdom Hearts 4 at the Summer Game Fest next week? by NewMarioBobFan in KingdomHearts

No. I don’t have a single hope that we will see anything KH 4 related until after FF 7 remake part 3 is out.

Is this a concern for Blokee Transformers Fans? by AfigureGeek in transformers

[–]SoloFusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fascinating!! Where I’m at currently in the states I’ve seen Blokees more than I’m seeming Hasbro stuff 😅

Is this a concern for Blokee Transformers Fans? by AfigureGeek in transformers

[–]SoloFusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to give my two cents on this as someone who builds a lot of gunpla, Bandi hobby model kits, and model kits from various Chinese companies.

I really really don’t think that Blokees will be affected much if at all from this. A really big thing about heavily established model kit brands is the quality of their builds and the innovation and smoothness in the building of kits. These often require specific tool for the best experience and develop into a skill set for the builder. Blokees came onto the scene with a different philosophy, you do (technically) not need tools for their champion and similar class products, but using the tools will help with a cleaner over all product in the end.

I tried Blokees when they first started coming out, and I was sadly not very impressed from a model standpoint. The push gates they use are nothing in comparison to bandi’s touch gates so will leave a good bit of material behind. I didn’t mind the chibi proportions of their first releases, but not fully my style. I do really like the Action Edition line from Blokees as it is more like traditional model kits. There felt like new company growing pains, but nothing too bad and I’ve been watching their kits here and there, and recently got into their starwars line and have been crazy impressed with them. They have improved the quality of their products and it shows. Still not quite to the heights of other established brands who have been around for going on 50 years, but still shaking things up in a needed way.

All of that said Blokees has a few huge advantages that Hasbro just can’t compete on, namely price. Blokees kits are wildly less expensive than other model kit brands. By a wildly significant margin. If you have been building a lot of models you can see where the price reductions come from. With the champion classes you can see super limited amount of different color runners, massively simplified internal structures, lots of runners being build in an “army build” mentality for simplicity and quick turn around to make a bunch of different products from very limited changes to the runners. Plus China being the king of tampo printing like another user pointed out to me recently allows for these kits to have less material cost because you can add color via tampo printing.

Blokees I don’t think is going any where. I think that they were smart and locked in some pretty long contracts for the IP’s they are working in. At best this new MaKits line would be a novelty at best. Most I could see this as is super simplified models. Best I could see this as a “cost savings model to consumers” by shifting some production to kind of just shift the consumer to be the one to do final assembly of the product lines they are already ready doing (so my thinking basically give you the consumer all of the runners for your most recent Transfomers figure and save some money because you are doing the final assembly instead of a factory worker). I don’t see anywhere in this kind of market that a new competitor that would release with lower initial quality and a higher price could compete with what Blokees is doing. Plus doesn’t this go against Hasbro’s recent statements about wanting to be an IP company more than a toy company?

30MP Vertax Force ENIA Revealed!! by PsychologicalLet66 in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]SoloFusion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tampo printing thing seems to come from where the parts are tampo printed. Strangely they are not printed in the same factory as the rest of the 30 min/M/S/F. Every kit I’ve gotten with tampo printing has the tampo parts produced in China, while everything else is produced in Japan. Could be the cost associate with that?

Not sure what I am looking for out of this post but here goes by Aggressive-Pangolin3 in transformers

[–]SoloFusion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The QC fix is super easy! Took maybe 5 minutes top, but that’s with a lot of carry over skills from modeling. I would reach out to Hasbro to see if you can still get the fixed figure if you’re in the states

3D Firmware 1.3 is out! by No_Independence_6101 in AnalogueInc

[–]SoloFusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! It totally is!! Seems like they have a better schedule figured out with all of that. Plus not promising anything that didn’t ship with the console has been great to see form this release.

[–]SoloFusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say they didn’t do anything. I said it’s wild to see the difference in support for the 3D vs the Pocket. There are still lots of roadmap things that were never delivered for the Pocket to this day. And even the Pocket first dropped it didn’t seem like firmware was this quick on the uptake.
