A Transformers Thread

@maxwellelvis

Batman also writes its own checks. Didn't stop Comedy Network from killing it, then eliminating it permanently with no chance of revival. This show is doomed.

.....

Which Batman, and when was it on Comedy Network?

Don't you mean Cartoon Network?

Not when the last movie was seen as a disappointment AND some nut shot up a theater.

Besides. Hasbro has an equally long history of fucking over transformers shows. Cartoon network might not even get the chance!

Soooo…

Is anyone a little irked that they gave Grimlock a mouth and eyes instead of a visor and faceplate? And made him green?

Don't get me wrong, what I'm describing are just nitpicks. I'm still gonna give this new interpretation of Grimlock a chance. I'm just asking around.

Yeah I felt that was kind of odd, I don't care about the color scheme, but Grimlock with a visible mouth and eyes is just strange.

Dont really care. I mean; its no worse than Arcee as a blue motorcycle. Or Soundwave as a mute faceless predator drone. Or Predaking as not a combiner. Etc...

Heck Grimlock had a mouth in Animated... So really theres precedents. So the only real new change is the color. Which happens all the time in the franchise.

Heck if you count the last RID cartoon theres even precedents for a green and black Grimlock

I think I'm mostly confused about it: this show is a sequel to Prime which is supposed to be connected to the War/Fall of Cybertron Games, plus there was that tie-in comic "Rage of the Dinobots". Grimlock's change in faction and over all appearance is what I find strange.

The games are connected in that Hasbro says they are but no one pays attention.

Producers will pick and choose what they follow or not. The same way the terrible aligned novels had little to do with TF Prime and the games similarly barely related to Prime.

Man, no one's said anything for 2 months?

Let's change that with Generations 2015 news, shall we?

Have you seen anything more beautiful and official before?

Good save on the "And official"

It's nice. Not a big fan of the spikes/guns on the hands and the proportions are wonky, but can't argue with the price.

Perhaps.

But it's something I can easily overlook.

And let's be honest, it blows Bruticus out of the water, am I wrong?

Yeah, but Bruticus was flawed because onslaught was too small. There's a third party enlarged onslaught (also more show accurate) and it makes Bruticus blow Superious out of the water again,

Game accurate.* Also adds the foot things. Much more expensive then boosticus, but better.

And the arm cannon and hand. Still, makes a huge case to show how the size difference affects the toy's look.

The Combiner Wars reviews are coming in!

Here's a review of Silverbolt that I personally enjoy!

When Defensor starts being sold call me. He may have had a shitty outing in fiction, but he's my favorite combinor, along with the Protectobots.

Sort of sad how in 30 years no one, first or third party, has managed to make a Silverbolt who doesn't look like shit.

Screenshots of the first episode of Transformers RID 2015:

For someone who is dead, Optimus is oddly solid and material.

Honestly, no clue how this show will turn out. Getting such mixed signals.

edited 1st Jan '15 11:52:14 PM by Ghilz

Yeah, there's no telling whether it'll be good or not, right?

And I'm positive that they'll have an explanation about Optimus' condition within the show.

Anyway, nice to see that Drift and Jazz will show up in the show!

The show looks fine to me. It doesn't look like Prime, but if a show not looking like Prime is a flaw, then most shows I've watched ever suck.

Is that Bludgeon in that screenshot?

edited 2nd Jan '15 5:26:20 AM by SilentlyHonest

saw the teaser on the last page. is that Will Fredele voicing Bumblebee?

Yeah, it's Will Friedle as Bumblebee.

No, that's Drift.

He's getting great exposure, but I really wish they'd use the comic book design more. Because as just a normal samurai robot he looks like bludgeon.
