what happened to CHUG this fandom used to love CHUG
Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie
- Thread starter unluckiness
- Start date
In hindsight, I think MP-22 Ultra Magnus was a turning point. There was a terrible looking 3rd party MP scale Ultra Magnus in the works, very "reimagined" and "modernized" looking, and the day it went on sale Takara trolled them by revealing their much toonier Ultra Magnus. The unavoidable comparison between the two was eye opening. In that particular case, toon just looked better.
I still like a lot of CHUG. But all of the characters have been redone by now, some of them better.
I liked the idea of Classics where they gave modern altmodes to G1 characters. That's something I wish they'd bring back. The toys weren't always good but stuff like Ironhide being a soccer mom SUV or Bumblebee being a hatchback was nifty. Not that current Generations is bad, but having characters show up in half-century old altmodes isn't my thing. Maybe they can get around to it by the next soft reboot when they're done with the Primes.
I don't dislike the G1 cartoon aesthetic but it's grown stale, what with MP, Generations and the transformiliion non-transforming TF merchandise lines all doing the same thing.

I like sticking with the original alt modes just because today's cars are indistinguishable roll-safe bubbles.
i mean 80s cars were just indistinguishable boxes
If licensing wasn't an issue, I would be interested in newer altmodes like Alternators had. Not that complexity, but those vehicles mostly fit the characters pretty well.
Otherwise, I'd actually rather see Transformers with car and truck altmodes from the 50s and 60s.

Got my shipment of stuff. Holy crap this guy’s enormous.
I miss when every video game had big head mode.
No more clown gun.
It's strategy. If his hideous color mashup blinds you, the fight's half over.
The thing about him is that his components almost match but not quite. Blot and rippernsapper have blue, Rippersnapper and Hun Grr have off-white, Sinnertwin and Cutthroat have yellow and Cutthroat and Blot have purple. It’s just that they’re all different shades.
