    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

    First thing would be to not call him Rodimus. For all my fondness of the character, that's something I'll always be nonplussed at having made it through all the levels of approval to the final product. It parallels forcing him into the role of the next Optimus Prime, right down to forcing the...

    Yes, he would always chase red sports cars, including ones she was in.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I agree with a lot of that, UndeadScottsman. Sam isn't terrible in the first film since it's still interested in the Spielbergian "boy and his car" vibe, but he quickly becomes terrible in the next two. And the whole "comedic" angle of having Shia scream a lot -- most gratingly in the DOTM...

    Concepts and Character arcs to fold into a rebooted G1.

    If it felt at all like it left any openness for a back and forth I wouldn't have said what I said. I mean, read the responses. "You want Airachnid? I think what you REALLY want is (thing you didn't say) but... you can't have that." is a twofer. "That doesn't work for me." Why does it have to...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I'd probably put 2007 at the top and Bumblebee either tied with it (both good, in different ways) or second. The former is still only partly held down by Bayhem as it's early days yet, and has a handful of indelible moments of spectacle that actually have weight. And it's a full cast on both...

    Concepts and Character arcs to fold into a rebooted G1.

    Okay, I've decided against posting the rest of my ideas here. The rest of you can have fun with it. This has quickly turned into a repeat of the first thread where "here's a question, what are your thoughts?" is followed by "see, here's why you're wrong." Discussion is great, but "submit your...

    Concepts and Character arcs to fold into a rebooted G1.

    Might come back later and itemize an "idk how any of this would be done, but here's what I want from each post-G1 era or alt-G1 take" list. Just for my own tastes, character names would be changed to avoid reuse, favoring G1. But for now I'd beef up Megatron's Earth crew, adding in characters...

    I'd be more okay with painted windows if they actually painted the shapes of folded-up robot pieces you'd see if they were clear.

    I love clear plastic in general (light piping and clear energy weapons are among my favorite gimmicks), but I've realized I can take or leave it when it's vehicle windows. (And honestly it's funny how the pendulum has swung back -- fandom demands clear windows, gets them... and then starts...

    Really wish they'd chosen (or been able to choose, idk) the Trashmaster mold as a base instead. Seeing Dreadwing there and noticing that between him and Thundertron, Legacy's from-scratch remakes of Prime designs have now more than once gone very big on shoulder pads. Like the originals HAD...

    That Optimus doesn't look too bad. Robot mode is okay, although the truck mode is pretty bad. Either way, a relatively easy skip. Are they bringing back plastic panel windows? One shot of Sentinel in box seems to have one. Plus it would help keep box integrity with these fairly large windows.

    That's a big box window. And they're not even labeling it Gamer Edition anymore?

    It does make sense, in that it's a "real" or at least more familiar word, and in that he is on the Dark Side of the Force...
