When I first saw it, it was a must get. Then I soured on it after seeing some in-hand pics. Then some pics comparing him to Thundercracker came out and I was on board again.
Yeah, he should be purple, but he's definitely a more... lavender... shade of blue than ole' Lightninghonkey and distinct...
I think that's the reason they made it, honestly. They probably could have gotten the ok from VW to paint Netflix Bumblebee up in Sunbow accurate colours, but they didn't just want that. They wanted something that evoked G1 Bumblebee that they could recolour any way they wanted, for any...
Agreed. In my own head, Optimus works best as the guy who happens to become Prime in the midst of a huge crisis. He's just a data clerk (or miner, or dock worker, or cop, or extreme skateboarding instructor, take your pick of preferred pre-War Orion Pax professions) who answered the call to...
I hated Aligned's canon that Optimus specifically was the Thirteen.
I much preferred IDW2's take that every Prime since the Thirteen's departure/disappearance has been a steward, holding the Matrix until "The Arisen" returns.
It even had IRL precedent with Olaf II declared the eternal King of...
Bumblebee: Wow, how'd you know all that stuff Optimus?
Optimus: Well old friend, I am The Arisen.
Bumblebee gets up to leave
Optimus: Where are you going?
Bumblebee: If you're not going to take this seriously then neither am I.
No wonder Megatronus was pissed.
"IT'S ALL PRIMA'S FAULT, HE'S JEALOUS!"
Ok that's my bad because the image in my head of the Last Autobot is that first pic! I must have gotten the Last Autobot and Marvel Prima mixed up.
This might not be strictly kosher as far as being a "Transformers" pic goes, but it's got a transforming robot toy from TakaraTomy in it 🤷♂️
😁
That was the Megatron I had in my head, and I got the sense Hasbro would never make it, so I had to do it myself. I'm pretty happy with the results.
I admit I was like that, but the older I've gotten the more I've realized that's ok to leave things vague and not answer every question.
After all JRR Tolkien would famously remain coy with people who wrote him wanting more detail on various aspects of Middle Earth's backstory.
That's why I'm...
Furman's batting average has gone down the longer he writes, but I'd still take him over Alvarez.
Also if Furman did it, it likely would have been confined to IDW. When Alvarez did it, it was used as the canonical Hasbro approved list of the Thirteen.
They coloured "The Arisen's" Prime Master...
