For stuff like that I'd like something akin to the Energon Omega Supreme "solution", which is a sort of mini-head for the Cybertronian bulk to have. Would look silly though. That's the trouble with the mental linking, is that some functionality almost has to be reduced on the part of the...

Well, now I feel like a perv for bringing it up, lol Edit: for context, I've always understood this as a shared "I understood that reference". The perv/porn thing usually pops up without regard for the actual subject matter being discussed -- someone will make a comparison or namedrop a...

I may have been thinking of the recent one, charcoal body + accent color. In this case the claws and toes would probably also be painted over in charcoal? But that one looks gorgeous still.

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see that expression not be about porn.

For real, bring it back and give it the luminous blue or pink deco on the back spikes and jagged lines.

I get the sense you're going to have the same conversation over and over, just with some words switched out like Mad Libs. This is basically it, that's the thread. Megatron's characterization, the roles of Primus and Unicron, etc. I mean, it IS their personal canon, fair enough, and the intent...

Unless "Bayverse version of Quintus" stops at "life-creating/manipulating subdeity" or something; i.e., not a Prime specifically. Her being a deceiver can manifest in many different ways. (I'm more trying to get a handle on the character and concept for use elsewhere, and a bit less trying to...

I still want to get the Bison-Vega/Ryu 2-pack if I can find it at a decent price. Those four were very cool redecos (even if Ken/Hot Rod was 88% the same colors) and made me want more.

About as much as my remote work looks like work, which... it'll do! I mean yeah, it'd be nice to get an even further tweaked SS86 Arcee (or an all-new mold, sure) that has the Headmaster functionality (there IS an open seat there). But this was a pretty neat release. OR they could have some...

Cartoon? How dare you. It is an anime. Basically one interesting thing happens with the Quintesson character in Earthrise, and that's about it. I remember so much media from the pandemic/quarantine years with trauma-bonding fondness, but even I can't muster any substantial affection for the...

"New character" is honestly why I'd rather see Grandus sooner than those other two. There will always be a reason to make a Metroplex and a Fortress Maximus.

I guess that makes sense. Everything influences everything, even Carnage in C-Minor.

It's always easy to make a point sound good when all the illustrative counterexamples are strawmen.

Heh heh. But yeah, if they were to actually give him any more joints, the "open cupboard" altmode would present some challenges (the "just facedown" aircraft carrier mode would be easier). I imagine he'd be pretty demanding partswise after all. Maybe the base altmode is just him sitting legs...

Oh, sorry, wrestling reference. It's one of those promos that caught on almost ironically. Although upon rereading it, I guess the original post DIDN'T ask for anyone's thoughts after all, just listing their own pitch. So... (shrug) I guess in replying first, I started us off on the wrong...

I mean, folks...

I'd be wary of dismissing ideas as "that's just quintessons as goofy/discount/etc [existing character]", not least because that's not as productive a perspective as it appears. Aside from the way it kind of reductively stops a conversation dead, it casts a shadow on alternatives. If nothing...

Did you... Just quote yourself with a clever winky-face rejoinder? Yeesh, I thought we liked this design team.

"Cyberworld" is making me think "digital/virtual space", but it's not, like, 1994 anymore, so it's gotta be something else. ... unless it's now a world where everyone has cyber sleeves...

I guess that's true. Leaning into the judging and tying that into conquest and invasion, plus incorporating subjugated races into the multihead structure, is definitely a fresh take that definitely doesn't bog itself down with creation/history stuff. Part of me thinks this could have just been...
