>>10634755>why havent the other legacy characters fit a more g1 aesthetic?They have, though. Prime stuff has been redesigned. But things like Armada and Beast Wars are technically congruent with G1, i.e., their designs are already intended to co-habitate. G1 Optimus Prime and Lio Convoy are only separated by a single degree, both of them having appeared on-screen with Optimus Primal.
>>10634775>Then G2 is G1.In terms of stylization, yes, that's correct. It's designated as a different franchise for marketing purposes, but the characters are literally intended to be the same incarnations as their G1 counterparts, inhabiting the same universe and continuity, and their overall style is 100% compatible with G1, with many of them simply being direct repaints.
