Not to jinx it and spawn another reuse of this mold, but I do wish that one of the many reuses they'd churned out looked like that. Maybe even with Siege, which brings non-cartoon/Earth inspiration with it anyway (the Microman sword). Darker, miner-style helmet (the sculpt then inexplicably went...

Honestly, as much as I complain about it, I'm part of the problem. I crave lore and lore possibilities, and I grew up with an affinity for the "official" versions of things. I distinctly remember asking for a 64-piece Crayola set just so I could know the "official" names for different colors...

I like The Last Autobot more as an Autobot creation than as one of the Thirteen, which I also prefer predating the factions. (The deceptive Liege Maximo begetting the Decepticons I like, but more as an inspiration -- making lies work for them, "you are being deceived" -- than a biological...

One thing all that suggests is that if it weren't Alvarez it would have been someone else; that was likely to be Furman. So the roster and story was going to be written either way. Thing is, even given Furman's hits and misses, I think I'd trust him a bit more with that. But who's to say, I guess.

Honestly this is the best way the Thirteen make sense. They're prehistory, shadowed mythical figures. They're not supposed to be within reach, let alone have one chilling right there while another one could have arisen in this new guy. This distancing allows The Fallen to remain unique, and...

As it tends to be when this sort of concern comes up, it's less about the anniversary and more "where has the time gone." It's a big number, one where the memento moris ring clearer and the expectations that are tied to age nag just a bit more. And hell, after the weird time hole that was the...

Love this. I've always loved that Haim Saban was trying to get this going from that far back (until he finally talked to the patron saint of 90s kid TV, Margaret Loesch), because the local (English) dub of Bioman was the first Sentai anything I ever knew. And I somehow went through my entire...

Cyclonus seems closer, but may need a different jet nose and cockpit. The cockpit will be easier to accommodate in robot mode, as it'll just hang off his back. A shorter nose may also have to fold up less to fit in the chest.

I love the thought of Rodimus' recall basically being like that one "Homer's photographic memory" cutaway where he remembers Marge with green hair and blue rollers, himself being ripped, Apu having three heads, a baby in the crowd having a beard, and so on.

I think we just figured out how they also invented mass-shifting.

I can see why they'd want something fudgeable as G1 Tarn out there since the original was popular and might not be available anymore. But I partly wish this had been done up as Banzai-Tron instead, maybe with either Bludgeon headsculpt if they couldn't make a new head.

Honestly, thanks to the last several years of material (that seems incredibly dense!) for it, I now really want the Legends manga and such to get a show. (Is there a full collection of everything translated? I remember seeing them in batches and stuff) Like, give us a Netflix series (an actual...

The original was a great ambassador for Siege. At the time when all we'd seen of it was a few pieces from the first wave or so, it was easy to shrug off the underwhelmingly "Cybertronian" designs, partly because of the "I already have a Sideswipe" of it all. But actually getting it in hand, and...

To be fair, NovaSaber's point seems to be that the stream system was useful in-universe (as opposed to needing to be trotted out every time there's multiversal shenanigans) and I agree. It's just that there is no longer (currently) a story that needs that system. Legacy packaging isn't...

Give me more animation errors. Hot Rod Snarl! Onslaught Seeker!

All that's fair enough. It is coming back more clearly now, and it makes sense that one angle for it is that the upgrading goes far enough that it brings the machines out of the Quintessons' control as they begin to advocate for themselves. I'm content to exclude that from my own fanon; it's...

Where I am, I've only ever heard gunpla. Although I think I've also seen plamo used here and there. Mostly in stuff that i guess isn't Gundam. In any case I'm not sure why the L in pla but not in moderu, but I have no frame of reference for this particular transliteration.

I really just want that pack for the Nightshriek, but this would've been a nice plus. That's a shame.

Well, from a Quintesson perspective that might be more the case. They'd be more in a position (and of an inclination) to dehuman(oid)ize like that. Separating "Transformers as just machines" from "Transformers as living characters we're meant to relate to" is a tricky thing to do. Even Toy Story...
