I don't know how I feel about nearly half the Decepticon forces here being made up of cassettes.

In fairness, they kinda changed that for... different reasons. Kinda. Hell, if anything, I guess Transformers kinda proved the watchdogs and S&P people right.

Destination: Unknown?

Even says it in the last sentence, yes?

I only got to see the first two, maybe three episodes that were on a VHS I rented at Blockbuster. Don't think they got the rest. But I friggin' loved it. Reading about it later, it sounds like it kinda falls off a bit from there. Always been curious, though.

Yeah, a lot of people trying to emulate the old ways tend to "cheat" a bit for whatever reason. But there's a lot going on there, from included magazines for tips and other stuff that recreates the "back in the day" feel that people really loved, so I thought you might want to take some notes...

They need to bring the website back. That was daily reading for me.

Ironic, since that was collaborative between Hasbro and Takara, as I recall.

If their Thundertank can't fit beneath one of its paws, then it's a waste of time, what are they even doing.

I strongly recommend looking up Retro Game Challenge for Nintendo DS, as it sounds like your premise is incredibly similar. Only one of the games made it west in 2009, but it might be worth looking into how it approached things for ideas.

Ah, whoops. My bad.

I don't know about today, but transforming robots really were the worst toys to share when we were younger, weren't they? I remember my Perceptor losing an arm and Silverbolt losing a leg to different people forcing the parts when I was a kid (those are the two that come to mind, might have...

Maybe he's not calling him "Bee," but "B," as in "B-127," his designation from the Bumblebee movie? Or just the common link between the two names? Though I suppose that also implies familiarity of a similar kind...

I had the OG as a kid, so I'm kinda wanting this. Especially now that I'm older and appreciate the Thunder Machine's design. Kinda too bad they put Thrasher in the trasher, though. I guess he's probably off driving the original that Soundwave scanned.

Consolidation does seem to be more of a thing going now, probably on account of everyone looking at Netflix and starting their own service, thinking everyone who contributes to Netflix's numbers will also contribute to theirs. So far, that doesn't seem to have panned out. I think there would be...

Wasn't that one by DiC? Or did Cloverway redo it? Cloverway probably could have done something better than cousins, but I don't think anyone else could have gotten away with not making the types of changes they made at the time, anyway. It was that, or find some place that gets subbed VHS tapes...

Because some episodes (and the movie) were animated by Japanese studios like Toei, most likely. It's kind of a meaningless distinction on the face of it, given that in Japan, "anime" is the broad term for all animated works, regardless of where it was animated.

That was my guess. The only comics versions accounted for here seem to be the OGs. Possibly because they got animated themselves a couple of times.

I... don't think any of that applies to these versions? Except the tank part, that is. I'm digging Orion and Megatron, but Ratbat and Shockwave, less so. Not that I don't like them, but...
