I'd buy that (the Soviets rebelled against the Tsar with good intentions before setting up prison camps and a police state of their own) except that IDW1 comes around again and wants me to feel sorry for the guy who waged multiple campaigns of genocide and had a space death camp.
Like... I...
Fudge I'm gonna end up paying a lot for this.
The fact that it's supposed to be an orange truck (which would actually make him G1 Comics Sentinel accurate) but is yellow because Toei gonna Toei just adds to this thing's narm charm
This was the first major issue I had with it. Archer talked a big game about how this
was going to be the DEFINITIVE version of Transformers lore and how everything was going to be worked into this new continuity and then you see it in action and it was just stuff like you'd see on any number of...
That's one of my major issues with the IDW1 continuity, is that they were so enamoured with their "Megatron is a revolutionary against fascism" idea that the eventual turn to get us to "Decepticons are the bad guys Autobots are the good guys" felt muddled.
And maybe moral ambiguity was the...
I'm a shameless Victory mark so Dinoking will be a must get.
Hasbro might do their own version. But instead of painted silver limbs they'll be unpainted grey, so will his sword, and his Decepticon emblems will be the movie version for... reasons 😛
It's crazy that TT picked that Optimus mould to sell as their "40th Anniversary Nemesis Prime."
Not a repaint of the super cartoon accurate Commander Class Optimus that's coming out. Not even Earthrise Optimus.
The Rise of the Beasts Studio Series Voyager. A good mould sure, but just strange...
Aligned was an Aaron Archer/Rik Alvarez baby mostly, but it was always a rocky ride. The Highmoon Games were going for a G1 prequel feel but got roped into Aligned, Prime was the Aligned centrepiece but the writers wanted freedom to do their own thing and not get tied down by the Binder of...
I got everything I wanted from the Toxitron collection... and I got them all from a local comic shop. I think I saw Toxitron himself once at a Walmart and that was it.
I'd have liked Raf's ability to understand Bumblebee better if it grew. Like he can't at first but as he and 'Bee go on more adventures together and bond he starts to understand the beeps.
I didn't care for any of the Prime kids. For my money Armada had the best human kid characters. I revisited the show recently. They are, strangely for the rushjob Armada was, pretty decently written and feel like kids.
With Prime we had Jack, the Wish.com version of Sam Witwicky.
Miko was very...
I think there's truth to that. Not saying James Roberts = Hasbro but he was one of the major writers on the comics for a good stretch of time and his stuff needed to be cleared.
I bring that up because he seemed genuinely shocked that there were Western fans upset with his depiction of Star...
I really dislike Prime for wasting Peter Cullen's last "peak" years as the voice of Optimus. The movies are whatever but Prime could have been the show to give him one final sendoff and instead they turned Optimus into a boring movie trailer line reader.
"Primes don't party," "Optimus never...
This. It was a show that tried to be epic rather than let itself earn epic status with good stories.
My sympathies are limited due to two factors...
First, the entire Aligned project was doomed because everyone who made the media was interested in doing their own thing. I know I just threw...
I've heard that while Transformers was never huge in Japan it was still fairly popular until Prime tanked the line's popularity and they still haven't recovered from that.
How much of that is true... I donno. But I thought it was interesting given that the Prime line didn't light the world on...
