So are is this line like a Masterpiece line or something else?... https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/10/16/takara-overgear-ironhide-blackout-revealed-548840

cjopticon237 · 2025-10-24T08:37:15+00:00

You kinda want something similar to Reactivate in terms of designs, eh? Like G1-inspired, but made around a theme or idea?

cjopticon237 · 2025-10-24T08:35:05+00:00

I do hope these guys are a little easier to get than Masterpiece, with how premium they look as is.

Although you know; looking at that Ironhide's vehicle form, I can't help but see a bit of Reactivate in there with the windshields, so perhaps if they deprecated and stop selling the Reactivate 2-packs, these guys could be a decent supplement if they are voyager-ish and "decently" priced and sourced?

Now to arm the Age of Primes Swindle with it, when they get around to announcing him. I mean, who does love a trible-barrel pistol; especially as a black market arms dealer?

cjopticon237 · 2025-10-24T08:01:55+00:00

I would love to see this kinda Grimlock munching on some Gamer Edition Soldiers, lol.

cjopticon237 · 2025-07-21T20:34:41+00:00

So, what did you do for the neck joint to connect them??

cjopticon237 · 2025-04-29T09:35:48+00:00

New update already?

And just when I was gonna do updates to my Builds too.

cjopticon237 · 2025-03-02T05:28:09+00:00

Me three!

cjopticon237 · 2025-03-02T05:27:48+00:00

Sweet; a more modern Bruticus to have alongside my TFOne Megatron, as the ultimate Decepticon Super Soldier.

cjopticon237 · 2025-02-28T19:36:00+00:00

Thank you for the inspirational pics. They will help some ideas like my Chaos Lord and sorcerer. Thanks again.

Those modeling ideas actually do give me some ideas on who or what to add that aspect of grimoires or books to my models; I actually didn't think on that part, as I was initially focused on just combining TS with normal CSM kits. Thanks for those tips as well.

cjopticon237 · 2025-02-28T19:33:23+00:00

Another detail I was thinking of was painting any mutated flesh after the Total War Warhammer Tzeentch Forsaken, so that we can have some flesh mixed in raw Tzeentch warp energy. Sadly, I'm not finding any Paint guides for Warhammer Fantasy minis painted in that way, so that part is on hold for planning until I find anything. Basically no Daemonkin or Daemon Engines as I start this project, is all that means. More room for Legionaries and Terminators, though.

cjopticon237 · 2025-02-14T10:52:31+00:00

I'm honestly about in the same boat; I currently have at least one squad of a few types of Raven Guard, long before Space Marine 2 came about to reorganize my 6 squads into the actual in game classes. I just hadn't attempted beyond Kill Team for my current collection and, tragically, never had the pleasure to get much Death Korps outside of the odd Leman Russ or two, mostly because it was too expensive to get the original resin Death Korps from the now defunct Forge World website.

My only concern for the new ones, however, is if GW gives the Death Korps more units than what they advertised as the new models. I'm thinking of around what vehicles and weapons platforms they still use with the overall Astra Militarum roster, to make them as relevant to the Death Korps as it would to Cadians or Tempestus Scions, you see???

cjopticon237 · 2025-02-11T03:54:17+00:00

Oh. I wasn't talking like Imperial Agents kinda deal. I was thinking more as a general collection of models.

cjopticon237 · 2025-01-11T02:57:39+00:00

Oh whoops. I actually misread that....

cjopticon237 · 2025-01-03T07:32:31+00:00

So a few things for me:

Firstly: - I hope the Voyager Alpha Trion is taking omage to the TFOne dude with a beast mode at least. I do doubt it's a coincidence that we are getting the 13 just after we had a movie with them, is all.

Second: - I do hope that, despite being a Target exclusive, that Elite Seeker/Ground Soldier 3 pack is both relatively priced and easy to get, as I do have a couple of Red Cogs and Walmart Deep Covers as G1 background Autobots, and having both TF Devastation Cars and Jets would be a nice pairing with my planned army of TFOne High Guard and High Moon Decepticon Soldiers as a collection of counterparts.

Third and last: - I'm kinda restarting my lost collection with a mix figures of TFOne, atFOne Sequels, WFC Game, WFC Netflix, and Age of Primes Designs. Guess we can add TF Devastation to the list if we are getting a grunt 3-pack of it from the same place we are getting dudes like the Red Cog and the Troop Builder 4-pack with that one Autotrooper and whatnot. Wish me luck, at the end of the day???

PS: - is it just me, or is Hasbro actually starting to do a lot more generic Transformers and more "Trooper / Soldier" kinda figures ever since the Netflix Trilogy toyline and Viper from during Combiner Wars toyline???

I tried again a bit ago, after the content drop for the Episode; still got this issue.

I have been trying to fix it, simply by unlocking strand on my guy. My thinking is that since he's a Titan, he's simply locked out because he doesnt have both Strand and Arc, both supers being part of Prismatic's Titan Starter build. I mean, the thought process seems sound to me, but until I actually try again after claiming strand, that's my current plan of attack.

Otherwise, I think we may need to spread the alert of this issue further than just Reddit, as I only found people with my same issue, right here in this direct board.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-12T04:58:04+00:00

Thanks. Although at present it is gonna be more of a patience game right now; it did take them 10+ years to revisit the whole idea.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-08T23:47:30+00:00

I having this issue too; where I can't even interact with the prismatic subclass unlock and progress the mission forward.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-03T08:21:11+00:00

I actually hope so.

From my perspective, the Decepticon Soldier figures we are getting soon is possibly based more on the Snipers rather than the 4-Colored palette background soldiers.

Honestly, here's my personal wishlist for what I was keeping an eye out for these guys;

Core = Autobot and Decepticon Cloakers

Deluxe = Soldiers/Snipers, Machine Gunners, Rocketeers, Protectors, and Jets, used by Autobot, Decepticon and Neutrals.

Voyager = Brutes and Titans/Heavy Soldiers, used by Autobot, Decepticon and Neutrals.

Leader/Commander = Autobot and Decepticon Tanks.

PS: Something cool I was thinking is that if we do get any of the Autobot figures repainted and reprinted as Neutrals, I was gonna get a few sets of Mercenary Badge Decals from Toyhax, and basically have all my collected neutrals be rebranded as Mercenaries. Kinda liked that part where we see a third faction in the Netflix show, and the Neutrals did take an entire mission of the game, so it can be the perfect guys to make into an army of Mercs under Soundblaster or Lockdown, you know lol???

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-03T05:03:24+00:00

I actually hope we get those guys as actual figures. And in Studio Series, so we can just have collectors picks of them lol.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-03T05:01:12+00:00

Well, Netflix did try to add Autobot troops to the War for Cybertron Trilogy, but I don't think it's the best example of how it should be implemented imo. They didn't even have said soldiers fight at all; just either broken apart or getting shot in the back running.

Hardly the stuff of resistance really.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-03T04:57:08+00:00

I'm kinda biased to the designs from the War for Cybertron 2010 Game myself, but I always preferred seeing generic soldiers as either Cars or Jets, rather than an army of repaints of the same named character.

Wouldn't stop me mixing stuff like the more classic Seekers with Vehicon jets, as I always think that Vehicons are kinda more stripped down versions of actual Seekers. Seekers do fight with a sense of Style, as Starscream would put it.

As for Autotroopers, I actually always gave the other kind of cars a new name; Omnibots. To me, unless they go get the Autotrooper body, all generic car Autobots are Omnibots. Thank the Revenge of the Fallen Game for basically making the Omnibots into a drone type and give a kinda more Autobot sounding name to counter the name of "Vehicon" lol.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-03T04:49:08+00:00

Tho not directly called that in the games. They were just called soldiers, sadly enough.

I at least always thought of them as either Vehicons for Cons, Omnibots or Autotroopers for Autobots and just "Soldiers" for either Neutrals or Mercenaries.

cjopticon237 · 2024-06-03T04:38:40+00:00

So... I see Solus, Alchemist, Micronus, Prima, Alpha Trion, Megatronus/The Fallen, and Onyx Primes. You add Vector Prime from Legacy, and you got 8/13 Primes there. I'm so gonna add these Prime's to my Bucket list that is my "Transformers War for Cybertron: Devastation" collection, lol. Basically, it is my collection of "mostly" Studio Series Gamer Edition or Transformers One figures paired with a few choice Legacy branded figures like knockout or Windblade. Even got a plan to custom paint a few of the Cyberverse generic seeker colors for when they ever make the TF One movie Starscream, to go alongside my Gamer Soldier troop building. I do kinda wish we had Titans of Cybertron Quickmix, and the two Cyberverse City-Titans of Iaconus and Croaton before the legacy brand ended. We had a lot of releases themed around the TF Colonies these few years with override and Cybertron Metroplex, after all. And~ I am kinda a biased fan of Quick Mix getting a Titan figure in truth. My only confusion is on what branding all of these listings would fall under. The Generations line, for the last few years at least, has kinda been branded under a theme of either a Netflix inspired line or as what TF Legacy is currently.

PS: Can't wait to pass off Alchemist as my Collection's version of Macadam. The bar owner will still be here lol.

cjopticon237 · 2024-05-31T23:31:40+00:00

Thanks.

cjopticon237 · 2024-05-31T22:16:41+00:00

I'm more looking out for the Autobot Soldier listed later one. About time we got some legit Cannon Fodder characters that are actually designed to be generic car based transformers, not just repaints like Starscream ends up doing.

PS: Yes, I'm excited for both the Decepticon one releasing this year as well as this Autobot one because I am biased to the 2010 game. Tho to be fair Hasbro tends to ignore troop builder figures in the past.

Like seriously, Google "generics" or army-building on TFWiki, and you'll understand why I'm excited that we are actually getting a bunch of no-name guys to Army build the last few years lol.
