>>10547583It's really tragic. One of the simple charms of the G1 Autobots is that they go from pretty convincing cars to cool robots. Like, the "robots in disguise" angle kinda even extended to IRL; at a glance you could easily mistake them for just regular toy vehicles, which is cool in a meta way.
I may be biased as my first TF toy was RID2001 Sideburn, and I always loved how slick the car mode looked, but I do wish vehicle modes and the whole "this is a robot that disguises as a thing" angle got more love.
