Nah, not as much slapstick in that one. Just dumb plots with bombs detonators.
Masked Rider was practically a slapstick comedy sitcom pretending to be a superhero tokusatsu.
Well, it was less my own idea and more what the initial marketing of the set made it out to be before it was confirmed to be mostly just updated remakes of the existing Wave 1 toys.
From what I understand, the determining factor of what G1/G2 molds Fun Pub could use was how long ago said molds...
So, you're saying it would have been more tonally matching for this show to have had a crossover with Masked Rider instead of Power Rangers In Space. ;)
It was more the fact that they wouldn't stop badgering him about it that I was pointing out, to emphasize to The Predaking's point about how there were people who had such care about Machine Wars.
Reportedly, people at BotCon 1997 wouldn't stop pestering Bob Forward about making a Machine Wars cartoon, when Forward had no idea what they were talking about.
I said it before and I'll say it again: the ideal solution would be for the figure to have a retractable mouthplate that could be deployed and hidden away like TF: Cybertron Leader Class Optimus.
As for any budget concerns, if we're already talking making the whole package a Commander Class...
The first time I ever saw the movie, the lavender coloring of a gun made me initially think it belonged to Blitzwing. But that was before I found out that Blitzwing never used a gun shaped like that.
