What I'm saying is this...
I doubt the people behind Prime would have gone to a (then) official convention and taken the piss out of their own show.
So I think it's quite fair to treat "rightfully huge" as something of a sincere statement, given that I doubt they'd say it with the intent to...
I know it was meant to be a flippant colloquialism rather than being taken literally, but I am amused at the idea of Arcee actually being Rattrap's great aunt.
The TF Discord groups I'm in have a healthy contingent of teens and early 20-somethings.
Hell, a lot of my students at work love to mess with the SS '86 Prime I have on my desk.
I'm sure it was said jokingly... but I also doubt anyone was going to say "yeah our new show is going to be epic *dismissive jerking motion* "

Prime specifically was just kinda dull. Even...
I was out on Aligned very early on for that reason. WfC the game was clearly trying to be a 2010s "mature" prequel to G1, but it got shoehorned into Aligned. And then the comic adaptation of the game got some details wrong. And then the book Exodus told an entirely distinct version of that story...
Ginrai is such a weird concept to me because my first experience with him was from a fan sub of Victory, that Anglicized his name as "Apex Prime." And Victory uses his full God Ginrai configuration, which was just distinct enough from the standard Optimus design that I could buy him as a new...
