Some of which were arguably better (or at least more show-accurate) than the normal mass retail versions, even.

Yeah, TF One Megatronus even explicitly has the "Prime" part of his name included, as opposed to how it's not present in his name in the Covenant of Primus book.

Or there's the original Furman version of them all dying in the ancient battle with Unicron, giving their lives in a heroic last stand against the greatest evil known to Cybertron, all so that the greater Cybertronian race could first come about and then go on to thrive.

The design reminds me of Grimlock's War Within altmode.

There wasn't a green Grimlock in G2.

^ Episode 24, "Oh Crate, This Again", w/ just the game scenes from Episodes 8, 6, 13, and 14.

I feel like the difference with Maccadam's case is that, unlike Alpha Trion, who was an established character with his own fleshed out personal history and role, prior to The Ultimate Guide, Maccadam was a total cipher, a complete nonentity with nothing at all to his name besides his name. Even...

You're missing another T in there after the S, and the hyphen doesn't belong.

Kup wishes he too could smoke a cy-gar in vehicle mode.

Hey, Rod, your pencil needs sharpening.

Plot twist: Once all four Titan class AOE Dinobots are released, we'll discover that Hasbro secretly engineered a way to combine all four of them into one ginormous Movieverse version of Volcanicus.

Fast-moving targets up the difficulty.

You jest, but isn't that just more in-character for Bruticus, using a blunt instrument as a weapon instead of a blaster that calls for more strategy? ;)
