I mean that falls into a different ball of wax, which is TF timescales. Funnily enough G1 did it best because it told a fairly straightforward no-nonsense story and if you wanted to you could just pretend that that the Autobot and Decepticon leaders getting knocked offline for six million years...

Sure there is, but just because something can be done well doesn't mean the way that it was done was done well. General-King of Good Guys? 🤨 Like... I'm not saying strip out all the nuance. I just think that the way IDW 1.0's chips fell... it made things muddy in ways it really didn't need to be.

To quote JRR Tolkien from Epic Rap Battles of History... "Yes it's true to life for characters to die randomly, but the genre's called fantasy! It's supposed to be unrealistic!" I like the idea of Transformers evolving its storytelling but it's still supposed to be an escape at the end of the...

None of us were there so short of an official statement by someone it's a mute point arguing. What I do know, however, is that the toys always come first with Transformers. So I'm inclined to believe Sabrblade's analysis that the toys were created first, and any cartoon that would promote them...

The idea of Nova Prime as a Prime who went bad was very, very interesting. Here's someone chosen by the Matrix who just... went evil. It raised so many questions. Is the Matrix as good we think it is? Did it choose poorly? Or is the Matrix a practical thing, and it chose a morally questionable...

I liked Beasties and watched it regularly as a kid but Beast Machines lost me early. tbf I was 12 at the time and I was old enough to be growing out of TFers (that didn't last 😛) but still too young to appreciate some of the heavier themes they were going for. I rewatched the whole thing when...

There wasn't room on the PS4 I was using as a base

Call me when the Phantom of the Opera happens

I know someone who got a Legacy Armada Prime with some of that white stuff on it, so it seems more like a problem with injector fluid at the factory than anything fungus-related. 'cause there'd have to be a public health crisis at that factory if the plastic toys are covered in mold. The CSS...

Megatron, with half his face blown off, lying on the ground beaten to a pulp and yelling "STARSCREAM!" in RotF was spot on.

It could be that he really did become a fan, just not of the stuff most fans are into. Like how Zach Snyder really loves Superman for wanton destruction potential and Jesus symbolism when that's not what most fans like.

I think that Sabrblade might be right about corporate influence? Like Hasbro wanted Dinobots for AoE and Maximals for RotB but Bay and Caple wanted to tell stories about KSI/Cemetery Wind and Unicron and so we get these scripts that try to do too much because no one's willing to back down? A...

Like if AoE were the first time we saw Optimus brutally gunning down 'Cons and being a bit of a manic it would have sold the idea better. But Bayverse Prime was always like that so it just didn't register as different enough. That was another flaw with RotB. The moody, angry Optimus. I get...

I think you mean spore

Honestly I'd be down for a show/movie/comic with Cybertronians showing up in the early Medieval period

My headcanon isn't based on any one particular thing exclusively so in my mind Elita's a jet because that's just what she is. Orion got the Matrix and became Optimus Prime and Alpha Trion rebuilt Ariel into Elita. Dion died.

Medieval history was my academic focus in grad school and so the stuff about Cybertronian knights and dragon Transformers and King Arthur and Merlin... that's all stuff that hit me just right and it's the sort of stuff I'd lean heavily into if I ever got the chance to tell a Transformers story...
