I remember those "Armada is a sequel to season 4!" rumours!

There are some planets (Venus) where a day is longer then a year. So if Blackarachnia was talking about Cybertronian years then that's entirely dependent on how long Cybertron's orbit is. ofc we all have to acknowledge that even though these are aliens, in contexts like this when they say X...

Counter-counter point- even if that was true you still have guys like Alpha Trion just... around... in the modern era. That was one of my big annoyances with IDW1's treatment of the mythological past on Cybertron. Not only was it not really that long ago comparatively speaking but also Alpha...

I'll give TT credit- they're consistent at least. MP-44? So devoted to cartoon accuracy the robot is almost entirely made out of faux parts. Still release toy coloured version. Missing Link OP? Basically G1 toy with joints, lovingly recreating sticker detail with moulded and painted features...

I'd actually say that given how long lived Cybertronians are that even tens of thousands of years isn't enough for the Autobot/Decepticon War to pass into the realm of myth and legend for the Maximals and Predacons. Nightscream's "eons" remark was likely written with little to no regard for...

You're right. The problem isn't with the canon so much as it is the people writing the canon. Speaking from experience here, most people have no real concept of history's timescale, or what words like "ancient" or even "eon" mean. I've had students who firmly believed the 1600s is "ancient"...

To me Jet Elita just works best for my collection needs. She looks good with Earthrise Optimus

Yeah like I admit the two that spring to mind here are Megatron and Starscream. Probably totally unworkable but I'd love to see how they turned out 😆

I think most discussion here has admitted it's a concept with a very short list of workable ideas, but we're still interested in seeing where they go with it.

my mistake

I was talking about my preferences not what was being done.

My "ideal" G1 redone figure is a toy with the cartoon character designs but the toy decos. But if I had to lean more one way than the other in that equation I'd rather lean towards the toy than cartoon.

Based on figures where this could theoretically work... Soundwave Grimlock Everything else is either too cumbersome a design or has licensing attached to it that might make unfeasible. Like I'd love a Megs done up like this but... it's not happening. Not with that robot mode.

Wasn't there a G1 release like that in Japan? The PC Diaclone armour with the Optimus Prime cab?

To me TR Hardhead was the obvious Reverse Convoy mould. You could even store whatever head you weren't using in the cockpit in the back.

True enough but TT may just be concerned with the Japanese market. If so how easy or hard it is to import for others won't matter for them. If they want to do P38 Megs they'll do P38 Megs. And I'll buy it like the mark I am 😛

We may if this is a TT exclusive line

I'm curious to see if this continues past OP. OP himself looks like a fun get. Colour me intrigued.
