I went with Powerplex. It rolls off the tongue in a pretty fun manner and generally just feels the most fun of the three. The other two just sound like bad parody names of Fort Max and Metroplex. "Powerplex" at least inverts the run-of-the-mill Titan naming scheme of beginning every new name...

I think the logic (pun not intended) behind it was "What if G1 Shockwave scanned a beast altmode but kept his normal robot mode just like in the G1 cartoon's pilot episode?" In other words, the same kind of logic that the entire Siege line was based around: "Familiar robot mode look, but...

Shockwhale, you mean. ;)

I also noticed how this episode really makes it clear that they made Scorponok a much more G1-esque purple than the bright blue that his toy is.

Wow. You sure were bold enough to share that here for all eyes to see (and never unsee). 😆

Heh, no one complained about Cyberverse Grimlock having a mouth.

Another trailer just dropped:

Episode 9, "Storm the Desert" (w/ Episode 8 attached at the end) just randomly went up today!

All they gotta do is stick to the animation model:

I thought I was the only one!

Well, that's just user error.

Okay, Warpath.

Well, for starters, the modern Siege-style cassettes are about one-third the size of the G1 and MP cassettes, so just tweaking the original would make it too big to fit in Soundwave's chest. ;) I'm glad to see more love being given to the MP Ravage since, back when it first came out, people...

Takara's initial plan to dub Animated as a movie prequel (and the immediate scrapping of that plan) was all their own initiative. By the time Animated was getting ready for release in Japan, it was on its way out in Hasbro's markets, around the time when Hasbro's final Animated releases got...

They... They actually used a broken sample for the official stock photography?

This was due to an early plan for the Japanese dub of the cartoon to be presented as a prequel to the live-action movies, but this was quickly abandoned once it proved impossible (and especially undoable since the Japanese dub was done by Yoshikazu Iwanami, the same man who did the Japanese...

"Megatron, Pulverize!"

He was always shorter than Magmatron, both as a toy and in the show, so that matches up. His original toy was also shorter than all of the other Ultra class Beast Wars leader toys, so his name always seemed to be ironic.

I wonder if Mark is aware that Big Convoy and Lio Convoy are actually supposed to be equal in height to each other from head to toe in the anime.

Tankor mode!
