This is more or less my childhood as well. Becuase of my age, I wasn't allowed Transformers til after the movie came out. So they stuff I had as a kid was some hold overs from season 2 and the Season 3 guys and beyond. So I ended up gravating to the stuff that had the characters I had toys of...
The Throttlebots and Battlechargers were both "lets do something cool with this gimmick" which didn't allow for them to have meaninful articulation. As a kid, I was fine with that. As an adult that would like to see real gimmicks return, that's maybe one that should be left behind.
Shang-Chi overall has been probably the best post-End Game movie. Even box office wise it did really damn well... and they've done hug all with it since.
I didn't think you were actually targeting me, but for Autistic reasons, I felt the need to be sure to state that I didn't buy into that despite mentioning it.
Manderin being green, had some logic to it. I remember, least on his toy, he seems to have scales on his arms. And the rings come from...
The way I see it: Takara had gotten to the point of making some stupidly fiddly Transformers between BWNeo and Car Robots. Not everything, but both lines had some guys that were very annoying to transform. I believe Armada was the first line with Aaron's team. So to try and curb Takara some, and...
I agree that BW was added in late into things, but You forget/leave out that 2021 was an aniversy for both TFTM and BW. So the only way for them to do both, was to divide the original Kingdom plan and put some of the 86 characters in the Studio series line, since it was still a movie. That way...
For the record, I've never felt that way about him. But the 90's were overly sensitive about that, so it kinda makes sense they'd want to change his colors at least tone down any perceptions of it.
As for MCU, well MCU's worst thing in like 90% of its movies, even the good ones; are the way...
On the flipside, I remember how this backfired with Mask of the Phantasm, since they made the Phatasm's figure able to have a removable outfit. So anyone that bought that toy knew the twist before ever seeing the movie. Its a good thing the Internet wasn't really a thing back then, or it would...
Harmony, she basically hides her true thoughts and feelings behind a sense of superiority, her near death experience as a child lead to her hiding behind a false sense of bravado, feeling like she had to be and act stronger then she was. Working in the fashion industry doesn't help much either...
That;s Armada, not Cybertron. By Cybertron Aaron's team had learned generally how to not have gimmick hinder articulation. But I'd still rather have Armada megatron with most his gimmicks intact and not just the knife. Giving Legacy the minicon/micromaster prisions on his legs wouldn't have hurt...
Cybertron is pretty much how I wish the line still was. Most everything had a good balance. Very few had really fiddly transformations, they tended to have good base line articulation, and I really would like to see actual gimmicks return
