Yeah, the trademarks wouldn't expire, so I couldn't call it Transformers (provided someone as Hasbro or whoever is still maintaining the trademark) and it would only be for stuff released in 1984. (So anything from 1985 fiction or later wouldn't be covered) I was being mostly facetious (I mean...

56 years is what I'm waiting for. Provided they don't extend copyright, Transformers becomes public domain baby! Just publishing my first Transformers novella at the tender young age of 97!

WfC has the advantage of actually having fiction, though one was crappy (netflix show) and one basically used the character designs and that's it (IDW 2.0). I'm not sure if that stuff existed if it would have made Legacy better (possibly worse, as we may have gotten that wacky Straxus redesign...

This was a really nice video. As mentioned, it's amazing wallpaper fodder. Also loved that they made the Beast Warriors shorties in the leader groupshots.

I thought it got a ten episode season on Netflix?

Isn't the current rumor "Age of the Primes"? Or was that just some speculation I saw out of the corner of my eye.

I got it from Amazon when it went up for order. I normally try to avoid Amazon but I was also trying to use up a gift card.

The man, the myth, the legend: Jtprime17 over on TFW2005 dropped one more deluxe for the upcoming "Gen Prime" series, and it looks like we've finally got a second Combaticon: Vortex. This suggests the upcoming Swindle won't be the animated version and WILL combine for Bruticus. Which makes...

I got that Matrix that came out recently. it's not as small as I expected (It doesn't feel "full" sized for an adult human, but honestly, yeah this feels about the size of something you'd shove into a weird chest cavity. Absolutely worth the sub-$20 it cost, though. If the Hasbro prop replica...

Interesting there's no Starscream, even though the devs are obviously going to be getting milage out of pallette swaps with that Nemesis Prime, you'd think the seekers would have been the FIRST character model they made.

It was the bits in IDW where we see the early days of Cybertron, primative wars with roving bands of barbarians, beating each other over the heads with melee weapons, fighting in the names of the Thirteen. For some reason struck a chord with me and I just want to see more of the concept...

The Last Autobot's whole thing is that he's a legend that's discovered to be true. Beyond that, he doesn't really have a character, he's just supposed to await the arrival of the chosen one and initiate a reformatting a cybertron. Which basically the role the Arisen has in the current 13. Now...

IIRC, Alpha Trion was mentioned as being a "first generation" product of Vector Sigma in the G1 cartoon, so he might actually have more bona-fide credentials at being a member of the 13 than any of the other ones who got retconned into being members of the 13.

Not really that unusual. The could convince higher-ups for the budget to hire and pay someone to develop the functionality on their website, or they can just use freely available software that already does what they want. We've been doing dumb prime names since 1986 with Rodimus Prime.

Favorite of the 13 primes is a weird one given most of the 13 haven't had more than a more than passing appearance in fiction, outside of the Covenant of Primus. Like, I'd want to vote for Solus, but her "big thing" is getting murdered by Megatronus. I feel like this is a toss-up between Alpha...

Man, if I had known this would be released I wouldn't have gotten SS '86 Starscream. Actually I take it back, this version doesn't come with the throne, which was the main reason I got that Starscream.

If Hasbro does anything for the US, I still think Apeface and Snapdragon retools would make a decent King Kong and Godzilla.

Earthspark probably would have knocked Prime out of my top three favorite series if S2 had kept up the quality of S1. I genuinely have no idea how I'd rank it now, but I suppose I should wait for the rest of S2 and the rumored specials.

Despite how buff they looked, the Hive were supposed to have been so reliant on their technology that their bodies had atrophied, IIRC. They needed tech to even move around anymore.

Probably didn't want the crossover figure to be $200+
