    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    You could say "You're welcome"... But yeah, that works well for that incarnation of the characters. Even when I first read "Exodus", I was having flashbacks to the first Thor movie, which had a similar rivalry brewing between Thor and Loki (but of course very different characters across the...

    Somebody would. Whoever the -whatever generation they are- writer wants to highlight as annoying, maybe. IDK, Wheelie. ("TV" now is probably influencers/streamers, which overlaps a bit but will be more "like, share, subscribe"). Or, hell, Hot Rod. Give me stuff with xennial Optimus Prime trying...

    Again, this is fine and all as subtext, but if the movie's going to have any actual depth it should be text. It doesn't have to be spelled out in a lengthy speech, of course, but it does have to be explicitly part of the narrative rather than well-meaning headcanon from fans who understandably...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    Yeah, that's a heck of a retool. Lot of personality in that headsculpt, and so much is changed for it to work and it's great. And opaque plastic (it seems) windows is a plus.

    You made the right call, and I'm glad things are a bit better.

    Any of them could have been, for all we were shown. Alpha Trion was the only one who had substantial dialogue, and it was 0% personality and 100% exposition.

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    I think part of it is that it's a reference to a particularly memorable moment. In theory, biting the style from that (which also in theory would heighten or enhance the impact of what's borrowing it) is a special-occasion kind of thing. There was a time when this pose wasn't half as milked dry...

    This is all stuff that should have been developed further within the movie. Not even just because it's too subtle, it's barely there.

    This is looking better and cooler with each update. And I've been getting hit HARD with FOMO, especially since I've recently started talking myself into going into the framerverse. Alas, even if I'd made that conceptual crossover in time, I'd still be well out of the running. Not being able to...

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    Runs like Naruto, but Sonic? That's how he rolls. The most notable unearned (or contrived, I guess) Optimus Leaping Reference in recent memory is from TF One. Literally hops up into the air to strike the midair aiming pose for the camera, then back to business.

    Yeah the mammoth feet cannons really needed that visual cue. That adds a lot. But for me the real night -and-day improvement is still the simple matte finish tempering the gloss on the fur.

    They're really good! I appreciated the catch of Snarl's spin dash.

This second wave, called "Wreck and Rule", continues to heavily feature vehicle modes from the "More Than Meets the Eye" era of IDW's Transformers comics. True to its name, the wave features...

    What the hell. Well, when you're making a subline based heavily on MTMTE, altmodes and all, and are the sort to throw in little nods like My First Blaster...

    Even the little bit about Maccadam being more than a pub owner was picked up on and he's straight up a Prime now in at least one depiction.

    This can't possibly be serious, but on the off chance, I'd like to volunteer a rubbish bin I've got over here...
