So I've long thought that they should do a remastering of the original series.. just go through and fix some of the errors (wrong person talking, miscolorations etc. etc.) I recently sat down and rewatched the first 7 episodes and man... this is an ugly show. Like when the characters are on...

The "hard choice" that Optimus makes is basically deciding to act like a fascist, which I think ranks quite a bit above "questionable choice." It's literally Prime setting the last however many million years of fighting against Decepticons on fire and deciding that a single unelected authority...

Also, apropo of nothing. Rodimus is such a dumb name. I sometimes forget because I've had 40 years to metastasize it, but holy moly.

Okay, firstly I never said you said anything was bad, in fact I'm not sure you ever even expressed an opinion on the quality of IDW for me to even comment on. My point is that using IDW as an example of dumping on Rodimus is ineffective towards your point, because IDW dumped on a lot more than...

I disagree; it's demonstrative of how IDW has even characters like Optimus shown in non-positive light. Hot Rod isn't unique in that regard. And G1 Optimus would never take it upon himself to annex an entire planet without even consulting the people of the planet he was annexing, nor the...

Firstly that doesn't negate what I said regarding to how the IDW comics themselves portrayed post-war Optimus. (Seriously, they had a whole story-arc blatently called 'All Hail Optimus Prime' just in case the subject matter was too subtle for readers) Secondly, Hot Rod / Rodimus putting Prime...

Didn't Megatron get a design change based on fan feedback? https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_(Movie)#Transformers

As for what the tease is for, at first I was certain it was somw kind of '86 follow-up or tie-in, but now I think it's just going to be a preview for the Energon Universe show. It's been just over a year since we started hearing rumors about that thing so they could potentially have a trailer...

IDW also had an Optimus that couldn't handle going back to non-wartime conditions where he couldn't just do whatever he wanted, even if he felt it was right thing to do, and wound up illegally annexing Earth and violating other cybertronian laws because of it.

There's a hilarious out of story reason for this

Eh, the death of Optimus Prime is pretty much ingrained into the DNA of the franchise at this point. It's the defining moment of the biggest piece of G1 media, and arguably the biggest piece of pre-live action media, period. It will never not be relevant, especially given how it's continually...

While killing Optimus was a crass move borne out of a desire to sell new product, I feel like doing a 180 and undermining the storytelling that bore out of that decision created a bad precident that's negatively impacted the franchise ever since. Prime dying has become a super impactful thing...

I'll always have a soft spot for that film, as it and Fire in the Sky were the only two pieces of Transformers media I had access to until filesharing on the internet became a thing. It's wonderfully animated, has memorable dialog, the voice cast is top tier, new and old, and the music...

Given there's no way in hell they'll do 2D animation, adding in 3D animated deleting scenes into a 2D film would be like tinfoil on teeth to me.

Whoops, that should have read more "In response to someone asking if MTO would be a venue for combiners, they said they feel they found a good formula combiners.. (Which implies to me that combiners likely won't be showing up in MTO)

Generations was basically "anything goes" aside from live action stuff, including putting out new characters or a reimagined version of an existing character, which sounds like is what they want to avoid doing in Studio Series.

Nobody said it was a bold new initiative? The big change is that no show, movie, comic or game is off limits for Studio Series now and they'll be pulling that stuff out of Generations.

Some tidbits from interviews Confirms a combiner for 2027 and 2028, though they don't say who, so the 2027 one might be Nexus Maximus? Superion is 100% the intended frame for Nexus Maximus. They could do a new frame down the road based on feedback they've received, but for right now it's...

Oh hey, they say they're going to hold off on doing a wide range of Studio Series figures for the new movie and let the kids line handle it, and then get to the SS figures later, so they don't wind-up making a bunch of characters based on concept art that changes (Looking at you, RotB Scourge)...

They mentioned that the switchover to Studio Series being about "accurate" representations of characters from films, tv, games and comics while Generations becomes the line for stuff outside of those (i.e. New characters, existing characters in new forms) won't fully happen until 2028 so the...
