This is my guess. That, or this is their preferred framework for human crossovers with technology -- rather than humanize or anthropomorphize the technology (and give them human emotional struggles and stakes), the focus remains on the actual people and the tech is more an aesthetic thing or a...

Yup. That was my guess too. The headlights being off may be part of it as well.

As is tradition.

See? Tons of fun.

Yeah, like a base skeleton with common colors that can be outfitted with different kibble.

And from start to finish, they were great at wringing a lot of expressiveness and charm out of the graphics.

The wiki's gonna have a fun time with Shadow Panther/Ravage. I'm reminded of Auldey's Transracers toyline, where a truck will turn inside out on panels to turn into another truck. But "swap" makes me think it'll be like Hero Mashers or something. Although the similar pairings must impact the...

Quick! Wish for more Botbots next!

Beast Wars' graphics held up surprisingly long, I felt, but decades of higher definition and detail and innovation later, anything would feel dated. This was its destiny the moment they decided it would be computer animated. It would be fun to entertain ideas of remastering or remaking, but all...

This whole thing is so weird. In trying to make something that's both, they made decisions that led to a weird mishmash that is not sufficiently either and so might as well be neither. It's almost Side Burn's robot mode transforming into Shadow Striker's altmode, except the altmode doesn't end...

I like the robot mode well enough to consider getting a spare (to keep one stock) to modify into a Transtector.

I also prefer Jet Elita (and for her to not be half the size of Optimus). I think Strongarm makes the mold work best because her altmode is supposed to have the blocker, wider back half. Hell, she might be the reason the mold even HAS that in vehicle mode, because neither of the other two...

This persistent false dilemma of it ONLY either being this or a fully licensed Dodge Viper is not where I saw this going on the Allspark. I don't know that anyone's even specifically asking for a retool of Shadow Striker into a licensed Dodge Viper, so who is that counterargument even for...

This is a fair point, but it's not like our only choices are "actual Dodge Viper" and "exactly Shadow Striker". There's a wide range of "curvy Earth sports car" options in between. Most of the car can even work as is, just the rear bumper is a flat plank and that car front is entirely... You...

But enough about Legacy United Tarantulas.

It actually seems to have a bit more thought put into it than the Elita situation which was... I don't know. "what other females are there we can make?" The altmode is utterly weird for Minerva, and the robot mode is off for Strongarm (although I can see the "hood halves on shoulders" tying the...

But the results are nevertheless unimpressive. So basically the Elita/Minerva/Strongarm situation again.

Stuff lastmaximal will never be able to afford

Would be wild if this were an arc in a cartoon, but with Starscream instead of Skywarp. And it's this being forced to cohabit a body that finally gets him to stop trying to overthrow Megatron (at least, from the motivation of reckless ambition and dissatisfaction with Megs' leadership).

Edited the thread title as March is just freshly departed.
