>Its just strange to me because even in more toon accurate depictions back in the 2000's, the emphasis was on stylizing that to look better than the actual show.so we had depictions that were simultaneously more toon accurate but also stylized to be demonstrably different from the show? i'm not a tooner or an anti-tooner, i just love the boxy designs from that era and i am enamored at the engineering efforts to make them a reality, but if saying totally contradictory shit like you is a requirement to be an anti-tooner then i am definitely the opposite.
>>9844625the animation sheets are more detailed than they ever appeared on screen. that's how animation sheets work. "taking the wheels off" isn't a decision to save on drawing wheels you mongoloid, it was an aesthetic choice. they could always choose what aspects of the animation model to keep and ignore like all animators have done since the beginning of all time. like do you think they went back and redid an animation model so they could feel comfortable cheaping out on optimus's face here? no they just did it because that's how budget cuts work, they don't need to pay a professional illustrator to remove it in their animation sheet that is more detailed than necessary by design. please use your brain
