>>6055229Movie aesthetics has its charms, else it would've never been as successful. It's more known for being a monstermash than the civil soldiers that the older generations had.
The problem is making an aesthetic that stays close to what the first movie started without straying towards familiar G1 territory, or at least that's what the creative team is doing.
I personally like and dislike the new OP design. Like that it's clean and defines the warrior, dislike that the only good toy we can get out of it is a DMK.
