Transformers Legacy toyline

[wonko the sane?]

Y'all are having a blast with this... but this is the actual process for coming up with names, cause naming jive is ridiculously hard...

 

[Steadfast]

But there’s a world of them, what about a Cyber..WORLD?!

To try and get back on track:
I’m probably going to preorder ASAP the few figures I want from United Wave 5. I don’t have a huge amount of faith of everything getting solid retail distribution early next year, not with the back end of movie stuff, and the release of ”Prime Theme” Wave 1. Probably only get Armada Wheeljack and Core Dinobot (if he is still coming), Ramjet will depend on budget.

Unless there is a big collector appeal to it, I don’t expect any mention of Cyberworld until Toy Fair next March.

Cyberworld seems like a step down from Cyberverse.

Reminds me of Dr Who and how they'd attach Cyber to anything Cyberman-related, only cyber-dumber.

 

[unluckiness]

So that’s it? We some kind of Transformers: Generations: Power of the Primes Part Two?

 

[LordGigaIce]

If the next round of Generations is going to have a focus on the Thirteen then honestly "Power of the Primes" or "Prime Wars" would have been perfect but they used both of those already.

How about...
Transformers: Primetime!

Everyone gets a discount on a Voyager class or above every time Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffalos lose to a ranked opponent!

 

[lastmaximal]

I might be intrigued by "Transformers: The Covenant", or the Covenant of Primus Trilogy (Thirteen, Omega Point, Primus Unleashed).

Or, to continue the intergenerational vibe from Legacy and set up the Cybertron-based capsule, "Transformers: OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER."

 

[wonko the sane?]

Transformers: highway to the danger zone.

 

[Arazyr]

Transformers: War of the Primes could work.

Ridiculously hard for Focus Groups and C-Suite executives.

Get an actual writer/creative involved and it becomes easier.

 

[lastmaximal]

I remain eternally grateful that Marvel and Budiansky were involved right at the beginning. Granted, IP and C-suite culture wasn't yet what it would become, but it would've been very easy to just have someone go "they have names in Japan, right? Oh, just the car names? Take those and mix in whatever sounds robot-ish. We gotta get these on shelves."

Diaclones vs. Micro Men: Collect them all!

Bumblebee WAS almost "Muffy."

-ZacWilliam, short for Muffler.

 

[Blot]

And don't forget the inevitable big screen movie where our heroes have to stop the all ingesting Ingestor.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Is this the same one where Blaster yells for Eject to eject, but Eject rejects the ejection, due to imperfections in the ejection mechanism?

 

[Sabrblade]

Is this the same one where Blaster yells for Eject to eject, but Eject rejects the ejection, due to imperfections in the ejection mechanism?

And then he feels dejected by the selective rejection.

Vroom-vroom

we had this, kinda, G1 had a Vroom and what lead me to this, Alternators' Zoom-Zoom

 

[Haywire]

I kinda want a Walter the Walther figure, now...

Megatron's crotchety old Grandpa Walter:
"In my day, kids played with bears and poisonous snakes. None of this namby-pamby child safety nonsense. If we'd brought out a toy gun with an orange barrel, we'd have been laughed out of the neighborhood! Now, bring me another mug of energon and tell your friends to stay off my lawn!"

 

[unluckiness]

He also sells synthetic energon on the side and likes to knock.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

So he tied an energon goodie to his belt, which was the style at the time.....

 

[Platypus Prime]

I still wish that Canon Megatron (the camera) had come with a proper cannon, so Canon Megatron's Canon Cannon would have been cannon. Also:

 

[Princess Viola]

im gonna have to be the type of dipshit to point out that they never made a canon (camera) megatron

they made reflector

which i mean i get

but also dumb lol

I read that in the voice of Grandpa Lou from Rugrats.
