Depends on which way you go. The set has stripes for the toy and cartoon accurate looks. The additional stickers outside of the stripes pick out detail like headlights and tail lights, licence plates, etc... Stuff like that goes very well with the toy-centric set of stickers but I can see how...

If they ever do a Thunderclash then MW Optimus is an inevitability. Hasbro likes having an Optimus Prime on the shelf as much as possible, and if they're going to go through the trouble of making a Legacy Thunderclash then a MW Optimus repaint is a super easy way to do that.

I agree on the overall "look," but the SS86 van mode isn't bad by any means, and looks the part well enough. The problem with the ER van is that it had too many issues that just didn't work. The should blocks cutting off the windows, the feet just sticking out, the Cybertronian wheels. I...

Oh absolutely. I've realized my preferred aesthetic for Transformers- or the 84-85 Autobots at least- is cartoon-accurate robot modes but toy or real world accurate decos. The flat Sunbow animation look doesn't work for me in toy form, and I adore decos that match the details of the toys or the...

And the Matrix appeared in that episode implying a connection to said space monkey.

The problem I had with Animated Optimus was that he was such a departure it stopped feeling like Optimus. If you wanted to tell the story of how Orion Pax became Optimus Prime and wanted to update it with Orion Pax having adventures on Earth then that would be cool. But even G1 Optimus, in all...

My biggest gripe is that everyone making "adult" TF content seems to be referencing TF:TM as their idea of what "G1" was. Prime giving heroic speeches, epic battles. Like I'm convinced the Transformers: Prime writing staff thought G1 Prime began and ended with the '86 movie. When in reality G1...

Danke!

The saving grace of most mainline Transformers is that they have to transformable convertable by little kids. That keeps the designers and engineers honest. They even scaled back difficulty when they admitted, post-DotM, that the movie stuff was getting a bit too complex for kids. I think...

It's always fun when people see the chains for the first time

Honestly? I don't know. The sticker set was the "toy accurate" set, even though the actual G1 Ironhide toy didn't have that marking. I'm guessing it's something from the actual Nissan Sunny-Vanette Coach SGL model deco? I'm not too familiar with that vehicle but it looked like a deco that would...

Not to toot this place's horn too much but this isn't TFW2005 😅 I think some takes here- like accusing SkyBound's two issues of being nothing but shooting and action- are off because that's just not what the comic is. But overall I think the level of discourse here is pretty good even if we...

Wait, what? How? Was Beast Machines Takara's idea?

I've seen "arguing in bad faith" tossed around too many times by people- here and elsewhere- when they just don't want to acknowledge a disagreement, so sorry not sorry. This is a message board. It's meant to be a place of discussion. Say what you want to say, and if someone does come in with...

My argument in favour of it is that, aside from the post-credit sting, the only hint at a wider Marvel universe in the first Iron Man is the name dropping of SHIELD. And given how early we are in this EU run we're still very much in that territory.

Here's the problem my man. You can have your opinion and if you genuinely don't like it that's cool. But when you try to claim this is nothing but punches, kicks, and shooting that's not your opinion. You're just wrong. People disagreeing with you aren't bad faith'ing at you. The shared...

No, it's not. Not even compared to other Transformers titles. Look man, IDW burned me out in IRL politics by making every Autobot prior to Optimus a fascist, using the Decepticons as a Soviet Communism allegory, and James Roberts working out his issues with the state of British socialism via a...

I enjoyed it. The scene with Prime and Spike really did a lot for the characters of both. I also dig how this comic establishes that the War is only two hundred years old. Long enough to convey that these machines are longer lived and more durable than us but also not so long that timescales of...
