The Thirteenth was the friends we made along the way. I don't love the idea of the Thirteenth being a present day character who is a "reincarnation," but if it must happen Rodimus seems like a more natural fit since he's already rooted in Chosen One trappings from '86. Still, I'd prefer the...

Thighs are fine on mine. Therefore the problem is not universal.

I know this is anecdotal but I have two versions of the mould and the thighs aren't an issue on either. And no one I know who has it has said they have a thigh swivel issue. None of this is scientific but I do chat with TF fans almost daily and more then a few have at least one version of the...

Rik Alvarez recently said something about Optimus being the Thirteenth being a late decision and that the hope was someone would come up with a better idea later to override it. The dumb thing is that people have. Be it IDW1's "the Arisen," IDW2's take that the current Matrix bearer was the...

Didn't they do a thing where Cybertronians had "zodiacs" that tied them to two of the Thirteen, with Optimus stated to be "aligned" to Prima and Alpha Trion? That doesn't really work if Optimus is their brother :P

See I didn't read my first FP thing until... well... must have been 2008 at the earliest?

See I had very little idea of who or what the Thirteen were when Cybertron was current. Just that it was a thing somewhere and maybe important. So when Vector Prime showed up I assumed he was a past Matrix bearer who'd time travelled to help out the present day Autobots for reasons (something...

That's not surprising. Read Grant Morrison's manifesto on revamping the X-Men following the first of the early 2000s movies. It's all about how the X-Men comics needed to fall in line with the movie since that was the new hotness. Same energy. The more I hear about Archer and Alvarez's...

IIRC High Moon's games were just meant to be a sort of evergreen G1 prequel. Like... not overtly referencing any specific version of G1, just a sort of general broad slice "prequel." It just so happens that Hasbro was planning Aligned while it was in development and they asked High Moon if they...

I'm not sure he did. His "the Thirteenth is some unknown guy maybe Optimus is him reincarnated *wink wink*" take is... inelegant. Though I suppose it does fit with IDW1's Euhemeric approach to the mythology. Still... it's just not a good idea, at base. Barber's attempt, as well as Ruckley's...

I don't think even Hasbro knows if he's supposed to be evil or not.

That all works rather well, except that the Fallen has lost all, if not most, of his Unicron allegiances. These days the Thirteen seem to be presented as more or less a unified front against Unicron in the name of Primus, and it's only after they win that the cracks start to show and Megatronus...

I'd have made the Thirteenth the Last Autobot and either made Liege Maximo the Fallen or gone ahead with "Megatronus Prime" as the Fallen but expelled Liege Maximo from the group and promoted up Logos Prime. Having two evil guys ruins the vibe of the story where the Fallen is supposed to be a...
