    On my previous build back in 2014 I cheaped out on a PSU by not buying modular model. Lesson learned. For my current build I cheaped out on slim PC case fans that just started randomly vibrating. Lesson learned again, lol.

    Maybe, but can it run Crisis?

    Perhaps 1/60 is influenced from his days at T-REX, and he did work on some of Yamato's Macross stuff. But not complaining since it's the best scale going smaller than Sentinel's. Didn't work out any numbers, but 1/60 would prolly be in the ballpark of the HMR VF-1 size.. I can see it being a good desk toy.

    I'm not saying that he won't turn up in some fashion since other way, but yes, in 2026 there's going to be a 86 40th Anniversary capsule, it will be Target exclusive, and Starscream with the new 86 mold is in it. He's not a regular retail release for 2026, just TC and Skywarp.

    Wow, some great work @wm cheng! @Cheese3 That's a pretty cool looking Macross collection.

    Hmmm, wonder what that "reason" is? 1/60 scale ... can possibly be displayed with 1/60 Yamato/Arcadia VFs or even the 3Zero VF-1s. Hopefully the smaller scale and the simpler design will mean it'll be cheaper. I just hope they'll make a paint scheme (color) and head design (face) that i'll like.
  9. Negotiator
    Is 86 starscream going to be a target exclusive?
  10. Perxion
    Yes, but in my opinion the yellow color is a mistake.

    Hopefully they will release the rest of the variants along with the shadow ver. Am liking the look of this version

    I figured the mods just deleted it. Certainly wouldn't be the first time. 😒 Maybe it'll be safer here:

    Cross-posting: Maeno-san, who did the whole suit of Sentinel’s Mospeada toys, is also the designer of Toyrise’s Legioss. No wonder the proportions are so similar. He has also confirmed the scale is 1/60, & intentionally made it simpler than Sentinel's. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EtEaoj7Pg/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    @jenius Link to the Bloodsucker at Mandarake, sadly the first one sold!

    That depends. Are you testing and training a local AI model to beat Freecell as fast as and as optimal as it can using as many instances of the game as possible (like a few hundred instances)? Threadripper can do that. Same goes for Minesweeper. But I think someone has probably written a simple non-AI app that does it already. 🤷‍♂️

    Managed to get quite a bit done tonight on my test fit. This thing is small “extra thin for scale” and packs in plenty of detail. Also super fun to build so far.

  20. wm cheng started following Moshow Toys Cyclone up for preorder and Mospeada
  21. MKT
    Yup it has been happening over past week. Posts go missing then reappears few days later. Has been occurring in the Transformers thread too.

    Throw it out in the ether. And less than 24 hours later, I finally get the shipping notice. Gonna be having some fun this weekend. 🛠️🪚🪛 EDIT: Is it just me, or are the pages for this thread acting a little squirrelly? Like, I'm currently not seeing @tekering's lovely homage pic of the Sentinel Legioss and Tread dual-wielding.

    TFormers.com did a interview with the Transformers team at SDCC. Here's the highlights... -The Hot Wheels Crossover will continue. According to Nate, there are three planned for 2026 and "some" planned for 2027. Bad to the Blade and Deora II, anyone? -Might not be soon, but Mark said Star Optimus was designed to connect to Generations versions of Sky Garry and Grandus. Evan pointed out that the interviewer didn't mention Dai Altas, to which Mark replied, "add him as well." -When asked if there'd be more Minicon releases like Nemesis Prime with the Star Saber, all three simultaneously said "Yes." Nate said that Mark has been trying to cram as many minicons as he can into one box, and we should expect it in 2026. -Evan claims that Studio Series 86 will never end, and that 2026 will be a big anniversary year with surprises to come. Evan didn't really say more than that, but honestly? I fully expect that every character that was in the film, no matter how little screen time they got, is a likely character for a Studio Series release, even if they already had a recent WfC/Legacy/AotP release. This goes double for the Decepticons, who scaled with Siege/Earthrise Megatron but are too small compared to 86 Megatron. Can't wait for the Leader budget to go toward better engineering and accuracy instead of goofy accessories for Astrotrain and Blitzwing. -Nate let slip that 86 "alive Prowl" could be coming. To be clear, I expect it to basically be Earthrise Prowl, with some of the minor changes included on the dead version. -Nate also said they will do a Studio Series 86 Unicron "someday," but wants to prioritize characters without a modern toy before replacing the HasLab one. -Mark didn't outright say, but implied, that we may see toys of other versions of Unicron (Prime maybe?) before 86 Unicron. -The team really tries to figure out what character they want to do, and how much budget they need to do it right, when deciding who goes in what class, rather than start with a budget/class and try to make a character fit it. Now, personally, I don't think they always succeed, and I'm positive that budgets and class slots do affect the final product, but I respect that they're trying. I don't know a lot about Nate, but Mark and Evan are both clearly fans. -That budget reality is why some releases wind up like they do. When they repackaged Netflix Soundwave with Rumble and Buzzsaw as a Leader-class release, they absolutely knew it was because people wanted Buzzsaw. Likewise, with the recent Studio Series version of Perceptor, they're not simply trying to reissue a Deluxe at a Voyager price, they're doing it because Core-class is dead but they know fans want Ramhorn. EDIT: Oh yeah, it wasn't in the interview, but my sources are telling me that in addition to Onslaught the other AotP Commander in 2026 will be Armada Jetfire. Probably not as interesting as more Combiner torsos to you old geewunners, but I know a Jetfire that combines with Legacy Armada Optimus has been high on a lot of people's wishlists (I myself don't own Overload, but I do have a Jetfire to go with my original Armada Prime, and while I would still love to hear news on a Commander Hot Spot, Hun-Grr, Scattershot, or Razerclaw Armada Jetfire's not a bad option either. EDIT 2: Got a little more info on the new 86 Seeker mold. Looks like it'll have at least some waist articulation, and the canopy will open. To achieve cartoon accurate, stab-free legs the stabs partsform and are stored on the backs of the wings in bot mode.

    Yeah, not gonna lie but that hasegawa one is a bit intimidating, but I’ll get to it one day. I got a few of the wave armor suits, so I ended up picking the Fliege since it had a window to show off the face. I figured it would be more interesting picture wise than one of the Fireball SAFS type suits even though I prefer those.
  26. Mommar
    I keep going back and forth about Sunspot. We never got any of the Male New Mutants in their training uniforms.

    Just an update. I was pretty busy, sorting, packing the sets. I also have updated pics of the 'reaching hands' which will also be part of the set of hands. Sets are kits that require assembly/gluing/building, top-coating/painting. A set of hobby grade tools are recommended but not needed: hobby side cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, super glue, gloss coat of preference, alcohol/water, enamel or lacquer based paints, paint brush, pointed q-tips, hobby markers, etc. Household tools items such as: nail clippers, small side cutters, super-glue, utility knife, emery board, clear-nail polish Sharpie/alcohol based marker, iso-propanol alcohol would suffice as well. Sample pics of the parts/what a set consists of. 1x VF22S Head [0603 SMD LED or smaller compatible, not included]: 1x green visor with 2x green sensors (option to mix and match with red) 1x red visor with 2x red sensors (option to mix and match with green) 1x lower front (grey), 1x 2.95 visor (grey), 1x visor (grey), 1x lower back (blue), 1x top (blue) 1x pair VF22S Canopies (two frames: one tinted window set, one heat shield set) 1x pair of YVF22S Canopies (two frames: one tinted windowed, one heat shield) 1x pair of VF22S Bay Doors (left and right), [0603 SMD LED or smaller compatible, not included]: 1x pair of each: beam cannons (left and right), and port covers (left and right) 1x AAL Antenna (regular) and 1x XL AAL Antenna (MAX custom) Four pairs of hands with pivoting sockets, these require 1mm pins (paperclips suffice): 1x pair of Saluting hands 1x pair of Macross flight hands 1x pair of Reaching hands 1x pair of Grasping hands BONUS: one VF22S Canopy frame, one YVF22S Canopy frame with clear windows Originally I was planning on making it an option if a buyer to decide between tinted windows or clear windows, but I'm leaning towards tinted windows only. This hasn't been set in stone. Also the first 24 sets I will be including a set of bonus canopies (as mentioned above), with clear windows and frames (one of each the VF22S and Concept Canopy). NOTE: most of the Bonus frames are post-tinted a shade deeper than the YF-21 blue, barely noticeable. The green/red visors and the bay door beam cannon attachments are SMD 0603 LED or smaller compatible (LEDs not included, sorry I couldn't work out the logistics at the moment to source, test, etc.) I did my utmost best to color match the parts to the Bandai DX YF-21's colors. I will have a QR code, tinyurl link for access to assembly instructions, updated notes, help, etc. Aside from the sets I will also make the parts available separately for a reasonable cost. In case some are not interested in certain parts or want extra parts ie. the VF22S Bay Doors, heads, canopies, hands, antennas... The ballpark range/damage for an unbuilt set/kit is $70-$75. When I am ready (probably in a day or two) I will make the kits available in the sell thread/section of the forums (PayPal Goods and Services), eBay and eventually Etsy. I am considered built/post-processed sets later for an additional cost (includes painting, gluing, sanding, gloss/top-coating). Reaching Hands updated sculpt/model (the final will include the pivoting socket pegs as pictured in the set further below): A Full Set (with Bonus Parts for the first 24 sets):

    Regardless of how we all feel about HG, its good to see Sentinel getting more sales.
