AOE did that first, ending with Optimus taking the Seed into space and him sending a warning message to the Creators, declaring that he's coming for them. That, plus Optimus and the Dinobots being knights whom the Creators sent Lockdown to capture, were set up to be explored further in the next...

That argument would be more applicable if their names were instead just "Cheetah", "Rhinoceros", "Velociraptor", and "Spider". Unlike "Hot Rod", those GoBots-sounding Beast Wars names at least modified the base words to sound something like sci-fi robot names instead of just being "the thing the...

This is why I feel they should have used the hacker subplot to better set up Sector Seven, as the actual introductory scene for them with the vans pulling up to Sam's house and Simmons going "We're the government! Sector Seven!" just felt really rushed and forced in out of nowhere. When Maggie...

And then Animated invented "Oh, for spark's sake!"

Which, compared to "Hot Rod", are all still more abstract names than that of the guy literally named after his altmode. It's along the same lines of thinking that could have led to the previous Autobot leader being named "Big Rig" instead of "Optimus Prime". Can you imagine if that had been...

I feel like the name "Rodimus" is systemic of the fact that the guy was named "Hot Rod", which actually goes back to the "Poochie" analogy. Think about it. It's the 1980s. Hasbro wants to replace Optimus Prime with a new younger hero that they're sure will appeal to kids of that era. They make...

Could have been worse. Could have been... .

All this talk about which of the movies are better than the others feels very timely since TJ just made a video asking the question "Is TF One really the best movie?":

"Joke's on you, kid! I'm secretly Shattered Glass Tracks!"

Yeah, the Takara MPG isn't even out yet.

Which, funnily enough, is what Spielberg was originally trying to do with the 2007 movie. (And is why he originally didn't want any of the Autobots or Decepticons to ever speak at all. "Radio Bumblebee" was the compromise we got as a result.)

Purple's easy on the eyes. :cool:

The first 18 episodes of EarthSpark are now on Netflix, and they're all normal length. Meaning the two-parters that Paramount+ has smooshed together as double-length episodes are the individual versions.

Which will also be the 40th anniversary of TFTM and we all know Hasbro will certainly want to celebrate that, too.

The Covenant group worked for what they were at the time they were used.

Sadly, that was basically what Aligned did too. The Exiles novel hinted at a love triangle between him, Solus, and Nexus, with him being so jealous that Solus favored Nexus over him that he killed her in a fit of rage. But then the Covenant book changed that by having Megatronus and Solus be in...

Snooty British-esque voice: "Pish tosh, such barbarous vulgarity is beneath the status of all us high class Allsparkers. Yes, quite so, my dear Princess." *sticks out pinky to look fancy* 😄

And that seems to have fallen (hehe) by the wayside a bit, as there have been fewer and fewer instances of The Fallen being sealed away in the many retellings of the backstory. It started as such in the Dreamwave telling per War Within: The Dark Ages and The Ultimate Guide. But then, for ROTF...

Josh Cooley has expressed personal interest in wanting to do a trilogy. And what was actually said is that there are talks going on about "future projects". But, that precise wording is typical of the business, as the same has been said about there being talks for "future projects" for ROTB...
