    Oh, that second Cyclonus would be great.

    But with the face and torso of ROTF Wheelie.

    Redeems is a bit generous, but I guess at least there's closure.

    Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    Eh, whether it comes from stereotypes or not, I don't really agree. It's just as easy to say that a kid can relate to a fellow human more directly than something that behaves like one. Even the US Transformers series introduced human POV characters despite already having kid-appeal characters...

    Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    This is my guess. That, or this is their preferred framework for human crossovers with technology -- rather than humanize or anthropomorphize the technology (and give them human emotional struggles and stakes), the focus remains on the actual people and the tech is more an aesthetic thing or a...

    Yup. That was my guess too. The headlights being off may be part of it as well.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    Yeah, like a base skeleton with common colors that can be outfitted with different kibble.

    Depressing Beast Wars question

    And from start to finish, they were great at wringing a lot of expressiveness and charm out of the graphics.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    The wiki's gonna have a fun time with Shadow Panther/Ravage. I'm reminded of Auldey's Transracers toyline, where a truck will turn inside out on panels to turn into another truck. But "swap" makes me think it'll be like Hero Mashers or something. Although the similar pairings must impact the...

    Depressing Beast Wars question

    Beast Wars' graphics held up surprisingly long, I felt, but decades of higher definition and detail and innovation later, anything would feel dated. This was its destiny the moment they decided it would be computer animated. It would be fun to entertain ideas of remastering or remaking, but all...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    This whole thing is so weird. In trying to make something that's both, they made decisions that led to a weird mishmash that is not sufficiently either and so might as well be neither. It's almost Side Burn's robot mode transforming into Shadow Striker's altmode, except the altmode doesn't end...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I like the robot mode well enough to consider getting a spare (to keep one stock) to modify into a Transtector.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I also prefer Jet Elita (and for her to not be half the size of Optimus). I think Strongarm makes the mold work best because her altmode is supposed to have the blocker, wider back half. Hell, she might be the reason the mold even HAS that in vehicle mode, because neither of the other two...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    This persistent false dilemma of it ONLY either being this or a fully licensed Dodge Viper is not where I saw this going on the Allspark. I don't know that anyone's even specifically asking for a retool of Shadow Striker into a licensed Dodge Viper, so who is that counterargument even for...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    This is a fair point, but it's not like our only choices are "actual Dodge Viper" and "exactly Shadow Striker". There's a wide range of "curvy Earth sports car" options in between. Most of the car can even work as is, just the rear bumper is a flat plank and that car front is entirely... You...
