I do too though if someone were to bring it back I hope they tweak it a bit so the Terrans act a bit more like humans (ie go to school, not understand Cybertronian customs). Honestly, the best example I can think of is Jenny Wakeman from MLaaTR

Culture and knowledge is the key part. They haven’t ever even heard of Cybertron or anything about its native species, nor their customs or anatomical abilities.

they're born able to talk, what, once they're born they're given a video or something? Optimus could have brought that with him.

this is NOT a new idea at ALL
they did it in several iterations already, including the IDW comics, and all the way back in G2. That was Jhiaxus' entire SCHTICK. All his men were post-cybertronian.
Or the Dinobots in G1, who *specifically* fucked off in the beginning because they weren't FROM cybertron and didn't care about the cybertron war.

The thing Earthspark did different was have them be NOT cybertronian. Not just born somewhere else, but literally the entire point of Quintus' plan was to give these transformers a *different* evolution, by making them emotionally connected to the humans.
It's honestly, a TERRIBLE thing. It's a mad science experiment, something you might expect out of Straxus or Shockwave. In fact, it's eerily similar to G1 scorponok's forced masterization of nebulans.

I really don't get why you keep posting about them "opening up new possibilities"
I can't think of a single new thing terrans represent. THey just threw several existing ideas all in one place.

No, in earthspark they literally have a psychic bond with the humans that were there when they were born, it's what makes terrans different than the other cybertronians in the show

the same sort of bond that nebulans had with their powermaster/headmaster partners in G1, it's just they're all Daniels, and the transformers never learned to function without it.

I said cultural reasons. Let me put it this way: They have lived on Earth their entire lives, and have never learned ANYTHING of Cybertronian customs, history, anatomy, or anything, and instead are far more ingrained in human culture. To them, the Autobots and Decepticons would be quite alien.

I mean, I want you to picture this scenario. If I had to write this stuff I’d have them be on Earth for a while with zero idea of who or what they are.

>Generally get an education on humanity’s history, culture, and so on as the years pass via the internet and whatnot. Still don’t know where you come from. Even name yourself something
>Then one day you find some robots who have similar physical traits to your own. Except they’re beating the shit out of each other with weapons you’ve never seen before, blabbering on about stuff you know jack shit about, using words in contexts that you’re not familiar with, using technology you straight up don’t understand, and so on.
It’d be a somewhat harrowing experience to find that your “Species” is not only embroiled in a blood feud, but completely disconnected from your own culture.

Okay somehow I thought you were trying to defend the way it WAS done in the show. No yeah if you rewrite it and have them be there for a while, that works great. Would be like if one day ninja turtle aliens came down, and our four bros were like ohh we belong, cool. but then the turtle aliens know nothing of ninjutsu.

you're kinda just describing Junkions.
they had their own culture, developed based on earth TV.
They knew about Unicron, something Cybertronians didn't.
They say the cybertronians as enemies, attacked them immediately.
them also being transforming robots didn't make them change their mind.

in fairness, before beast wars that was unheard of, and afterward... shit, they basically retired noses entirely starting with Animated.
the movies gave everyone big flat honestly kinda racist noses, but beyond that...

Got Skullgrin in for dirt cheap; unfortunately, the seller seems to have forgotten one of his guns, so I'm messaging him about it.
That aside, I'm surprised how much I don't hate him. He's not great, don't get me wrong, but he's kinda fun. Helps that he's quite fan-modeable, 'cuz his default vehicle mode is even worse in person than it looked in the promo pics.

God, a guy I know in Australia bought one of those guns that shoots orbeez, and they sent it to him even though he lives in a different state, and those are only legal in the state where it's being sold. If legalistic asshole Australia is lenient there, how the fuck is the US worse?

He uploaded himself into a replica of Primal's Optimal Optimus body (with the beast mode removed) and proceeded to use it far better than Primal ever did. After a thorough ass-kicking, Primal finally managed to drag him down into Cybertron's organic core, where they were both killed. Turns out this was Vector Sigma 's/The Oracle's plan the whole time, and their deaths set off the Great Reformatting that turned the whole planet (and all of the newly revived Cybertronians) technorganic.

Well, also remember that Primal himself shrank - his Technorganic body is about the same size as his BW Season 1 body, which was the same size as a real Silverback gorilla. So while Optimal Megatron is indeed a little bigger than Optimal Optimus was, Primal being small again definitely makes Megs look bigger than he actually is.

Cybertron Galvatron using the last of his energy to try and punch Optimus is one of the best deaths in TF and I never see anyone talk about it.
I get that Galaxy Force was written separate from ML/SL, but fuck it the toys were designed as the same characters and while the localization is a patch job, having this as the end of the Megatron for the last few series felt very poignant and grand.

It will always be crazy to me how much English and Japanese Beast Wars managed to use similar concepts at the same time. Like Beast Machines and Neo both reintroduced Vector Sigma as a guiding voice for the main characters and on top of that both Neo and the 3H comics introduced a new resource described as Unicron's lifeblood trapped inside the Earth, to the point that Dark Essence was later retconned into being Angolmois Energy since they were so similar anyways

Actually according to a lot of people, SS86 Optimus scales better that his Earthrise toy does, Magnus on the other hand doesn’t really scale correctly with anyone but that was kind of the point. Also my point about people replacing their 3p Megs was so that all of their toys are official releases by HasTak rather than Megs being the odd one out

Like usual lol G1 scale, but it's honestly all over the place. For example in the picture anon posted >>11321798 the Prowl mold scales more or less perfectly, about in-line with how MP does it as well, with him coming up to around halfway up the grill. But Motormaster should really be the same height as Prime and I think Grimlock scales better with Earthrise as well. It seems at some point they made a lot of characters scale with Earthrise and now SS86 Prime throws a lot of that out of whack so it all depends on which parts of your collection you want to scale properly with him.

I don't think that's really true with Beast Wars, I feel like a lot of people mistake a lot of perspective/camera trickery they did in that show with them actually adjusting the size of their models. Remember this is the same show where they didn't bother showing Dinobot walking through doors of the Axalon because the model was too big to fit through them.
Pic sorta related, bottom is from Optimal Situation and you can see he's about twice the size of the other guys, and the top is from Feral Scream way later and the size matches up about right (keeping in mind that TM2 Cheetor is a bit bigger than TM1 Cheetor).

It’s going to get worse when SS86 Megatron comes around. Voyager size Decepticons have all been around a head shorter than Siege Megatron, which is about accurate to those scale charts people love to reference, so a SS86 Megatron is going to make the majority of Decepticons look tiny.

You're not really understanding what the point of that post was. We're talking about viability/common sense and basic economies of scale. Even if what was suggested was actually possible, saying they should make 86 Megatron into a gun and just make it some kind of special order collector's item in just the US market is some top tier collectors' tunnel vision. There's no reason to make a major mainline Megatron release one they can't put in general retail. The money you'd get from a wide release almost certainly outweighs the autistic fans who would actually pass over buying it because he's not a gun.

Somehow though there's still no widespread Chinese KO reissue of G1 Megatron, which seems like it would be obvious. Even there it seems to be an issue because of how well done the G1 alt-mode is.
Most Chinese G1 Megatrons are too small to be mistaken for real guns, or too janky to in alt-mode. Or the MP/KOs of it which are sold in robot mode.

I think the Thirteen Primes is in line with older Generations "stylized" stuff to some degree. Most of them are not accurate to any specific cartoon and a lot of them are amalgamated designs.
As far as toon-accurate 84-86 cast goes they're running that well about dry by now, Off the top of my had the ones that really need updates are Seaspray and Windcharger. I guess they can work on Season 3/4 characters too but aside from Goldbug most of them have never really gotten much attention. Will be interesting to see what they plan on doing in a few years.

Keeps the groove—now that’s no crime!

I feel like they could brand PMOP as Super Ginrai to justify why he even exists because of Star Prime. That and to sidestep the whole "One Commander a Year" idea they had since the start of the Cheapo Plastic Era by making him Leader Class and release Godbomber again (most likely a package refresh from Legends, but follows the LGEX joint fortifications) as an "Artifact" (the whole deal of the Apex Armor's original concept is as a power armor made by Solus Prime for any Prime to wield, but the version Lightfoot made for Ginrai is a replica made by blueprints handed out by one of the Pretenders, most likely Grand or Cloudburst, using Earth-based materials to suit a Jinchokon user).

I know it's probably a minority opinion (and more importantly likely less profitable), but personally I would gladly give up a number of lower price point releases to get an extra Commander a year because even size aside the important thing is that they feel like substantial toys, so much hollowness in basically every other price point. Yeah it's mainline so sometimes commanders have it too but it's nowhere near as much. I think the only Deluxe I felt truly satisfied with my purchase with in Legacy United was Gears.

So Super Ginrai remains Commander Class (despite Onslaught 100% stealing next year's slot and the fact AOTP is only gonna be two years unless they decide it to be Hasbro's swan song before either Cocks raises his hands calling bankrupt or Elon the money drainer buys it) while breaking the One Commander a Year rule, is that it? Sorry, but sacrificing Core Class won't give you a second Commander.

Really good figure ( if you are one that likes to deal with kibble issues) and good update to the "Thrilling" 30 figure from not that long ago ( give it about 2 1/2 decades at least), we are approaching 40 yrs here come on! Enough on that back to the figure. Has a little bit of a clunky transformation but still pulls off a decent looking robot mode in spite of a little back kibble, the weapon storage can be a little annoying but with a little patience and if done right it fits smoothly in-between the gap in the underpart of the Rhino mode in the back. A cool aesthetic is how the chest piece folds up into the torso in beast mode and in robot mode it looks like the bottom half of the Rhinos mouth and jaw just like in the show.

Micron Legend/Super Link design philosophy def takes some getting used to, it's inherently a departure in sensibilities from G1 despite taking such aesthetic influence from it. And yeah, some of them can be a bit generic - but then, I can say the same for many G1 dudes.
For me, the ones that are indeed memorable knock it out of the park. Both shows' versions of Optimus, Megatron/Galvatron, Hot Shot, Starscream, and Jetfire; ML Demolishor, Red Alert, Tidal Wave, Thrust, and Sideways; SL Scorponok, Alpha-Q, Roadbuster, Springer (aka Energon "Ironhide" & "Bulkhead" ugh), Rodimus, Laserwave, Wing Saber, Optimus' combined form with Omega Supreme, and shoutouts to Unicron's zombie deco; and of course literally all the Microns, Omnicons, and Terrorcons - they're all fucking awesome designs.

Robot mode Dragon Megs and OpOp are about the same size. OpOp slightly taller I think. Compared to Optimus Prime it can be kinda hard to tell but they're I think a little taller than the smaller carbots (Prowl etc) but a little shorter the taller ones (Ironhide etc).

As a side note I think almost every Beast Wars character is shorter than Bumblebee. I think Dinobot (who towers over most of the S1 cast) is just about the same height as him so the only ones taller would be Megatron, Post-transmetal Primal, Depthcharge, Rampage, and Tigerhawk. They're all lil guys.

A lot of straight KOs it's honestly really hard to tell, especially through build quality alone because it's not like the actual G1 toys had amazing QC or something. Sometimes there's some little text printed on the inside of a leg or some more hidden area of the figure with like Takara next to the Made in China or whatever they didn't replicate on the KO, but that's not a guarantee. I don't know if anyone's ever actually documented a list of how to tell for each thing.

I feel like everything post movie was just primed in people's minds to be hated on. Movie killed all these fan favorites for kids to try and make you love(ie buy) the new guys, worse the leader of the new guys help kill the most popular Transformer of it's time. So I feel it just makes anything they do come off as annoying or bad. I a world where they didn't murder the cast I feel Wheelie would have been stomached better but he still would bug some people because of all the rhyming, much like how there are a few that dislike Waspinator's buzzing sounds/mannerisms

Right because they didn't grow up with Optimus Prime and the crew in the same way as the kids born in the 70s. You get some outliners such as myself but it requires liking a show that turned in a Space fairing star trek like show over the 1st two seasons which for 90% of the episodes was two factions fighting on earth over energy and never being that invested in Prime/Megs/whoever died. My boys Cosmos, Shockwave, Soundwave, the Dinobots, Blaster, Tracks and the Aerialbots all made it to season three and while most of them did fuck all/nothing I wasn't sad about movie deaths like a lot of friends were.

>>11322432
You could tell the writers had no idea what to do with most of the new toys in the third season. At first he seem to be Daniel's Bumblebee and then they ditched that after Episode 12 for both characters with Daniel only being featured two more times, one with Grimlock, and one with Rodiums. Other oddities was when they had Quintessons having conversations and ordering Allicons for more episodes than Sharkticon/Gnaw even thought they never made a toy for that character back then and as a kid I could never figure out why they did that and not just have Gnaw be a reoccurring minion for those 5 episodes.

>>11322471
In one of the children's story books back in the 80s it was explained he talk in rhyme because it was his means of coping after being the lone survivor of a spaceship crash and living years on a Quintessons planet trying to always kill him.

GI Joe VS The Transformers PVP shooter, Cybertronian characters tower over regular Joes but the humans get good specialty weaponry to take down their slower bigger foes. Matches include Joe/Cobra/Autobots/Decepticons (toss in some Marvel stuff if you want, Circuit Breaker and Death's Head as 'hero' bonuses) all going head-to-head in maps with destructible elements.
Squish GI Joes under your big metal foot, tie up and topple Decepticons like AT-ATs, dogfight in the skies above then take the fight to the ground in robot mode, lots of ways to play.

I figure they'd function kind of like vehicles in Battlefront, everyone wants to be the tank but you draw more fire in a bigger target to balance it out. Sure you have more destructive power and can blast whole groups of human characters, but you'd be slower and vulnerable to attacks from below/behind which would keep one player from simply dominating the field. I'm sure there'd be all kinds of balance issues to work out but I think it'd be fun.

Scavenger is a big Frankenstein monster.
Armada is probably the first time TFs experimented on leaning hard on different character archetype designs between the toylines and animation. Like Hoist being the short, dwarflike guy with an older looking face, Cyclonus being kinda dumpy looking compared to how sleek and handsome Starscream is. We'd sort of get things like this before, like Bumblebee being a small guy in G1 or Rhinox being a big guy in BW, but they weren't designed particularly different. Armada basically starts the design path that'd lead into the TF Heroes concept that was reworked into Animated

I agree they're likely an extended SS86 release, or at least intended to be, like the buzzworthy repaints, but to say that most of 86 is just ER/Kingdom re-releases is incredibly disingenuous and retarded
Out of 31 releases so far, ACTUAL 86 releases and not subline padding, a majority of them are completely unique molds even of they were for characters that had a release not even 10 years ago. That, or necessary repaints/retools of unique 86 molds like ratchet, junkions and the sweeps. The junkions in particular are extremely high effort retools, someone in the team really has a hard-on for them.
I guarantee most stuff in that pack would've gotten new molds in later waves if they didn't decide to shitcan 86 for no goddamn reason.

Ss86 predates kingdom
I think you're confusing it with the rumor that originally wfc trilogy was always gonna be pre-earth, earth, then the movie.

However it all HEAVILY relies on the argument of 86 jazz feeling like it belonged in the main series

That was Ittoku Kuwazu's first start-to-finish design though, and his only 86 design before getting shifted off to kingdom.

Isn't SS86 really just an overflow line to avoid the "main" Generations line being flooded with G1 guys? Hence why you have stuff like Kingdom Cyclonus and SS86 Scourge coming out a the same time and fitting perfectly together, and SS86 Galvatron just being an excuse to reissue Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron with a metallic paintjob. IIRC the misconception that SS86 has a different design philosophy to the main Generations line is from the redos of characters that were either botched in the mainline (Arcee), the designers wanted to redeco (Blaster) or just wanted to redo (Optimus Prime), without wasting a slot that could be taken by a new character, along with the OG SS releases for the movie 'bots being touted as more movie-accurate (compared to the older movie figures). I'm pretty sure SS86 and mainline Generations are meant to be displayed together.

I just wish they would fix the class system and bring back some of the beast wars size divisions, even with prices like they are now. I'd prefer to be told upright I'm buying an ultra class figure when I buy a leader. Magmatron was practically a perfect Cybertron to ROTF leader size, and I feel like Armada Prime had the heft of one stretched up a bit. A true ultra class armada Jetfire and Overload to match their old sizes would be great.

for some parts of the world, sure
technically, they finished up earthrise, then started ss86, then the month after started kingdom.
Cyclonus was designed by the same guy who did ss86 jazz, which led to some of the confusion, but also the fact that earthrise and kingdom included a ton of season 3+ characters (quints, allicon, runamuck, runabout, rodimus, galvatron, cyclonus, snapdragon, arcee, ultra magnus) makes it easy to confuse, but if you really look at it, given that Ultra Magnus wasn't a new mold, Kingdom really only had 3 movie characters.
It proved a very confusing time

From a narrative/lore perspective, Megatron should turn into an anti-aircraft artillery gun
Still requires another decepticon to use if he wants repeated, accurate attacks
Further re-enforces the "might makes right" view of the decepticons by pointing out that Megatron can blast any of his airborn troops out of the sky
Also creates narrative reasons he would still mostly be in robot mode, as autobots are mostly ground vehicles and relatively close range.
This preserves all the elements that made G1 megatron great with the added bonus of needing very little alterations to his robot mode, keeping his iconic style.

However, it does *not* make for a good toy. Anyone who has a galvatron knows this. A tank is better for kids to A) recognize B) actually want to play with and for adults to actually pose, or alternatively blend in with other models, which is why it seems to be the go-to choice for generations.

A happy medimu could be a TOS-1 Buratino anti aircraft missile launcher on a tank platform, a la cybertron defense scattershot.
Just make his fusion canon split in half to become the double barrels or something

Bay Megs' death was cathartic to me because at the time, they weren't even planning a Transformers 4. There was like, closure or something knowing that instead of a truce prolonging a war, Punished Prime chose finality instead.

It's funny how people think the truce thing was the original ending and not a bullshit fake given to the novelization people(because who reads novelizations?) and the comics because Don Murphy had been complaining for 4 years by then of the comics spoiling the movies.

novelizations of films are this weird lose/lose of either you are reading the film which rarely improves anything you see on the screen or it takes liberties with the plot and then you just wish you got a better written story unchained by the movie.

It's the latter most of the time. Tie-in materials like video games tend to add to the nostalgia factor especially if the source material was already lacking to begin with. Hell, everytime I remember the Bay years, it's because of the memory of seeing toy shelves packed with the ROTF-HFTD lines. I'm still pained by my Lugnut having broken his toe last year. I thought he was one of the best toys in that era.

Studio Series 86 (a line based on the g1 movie) Optimus is generally considered the best mainline g1 Optimus now. He runs $90 retail, is about 7.5 inches (19cm) tall, and comes with his trailer.

He's a very highly sought after toy, so you may have some issues finding him in stock.

ROTF is grossly overhated. On rewatch of the whole film series its an early high point.

I personally despise DOTM, and don't find much good in 4 and 5 though, so I may be jaded.

ROTF, quirks aside feels like a transformers movie.

The one thing that really annoyed me about the first GI Joe movie is that Joseph Gordon Levitt plays a character clearly based on Dr Mindbender and he acts like Mindbender too, for like 90% of the movie, then a flashback reveals the real Mindbender and he’s just Conra Commander for like 10 minutes. What’s sad is that Levitt plays a really good mad scientist and he’s loses all charisma once he becomes CC.

Blackarachnia was unavoidable; there was no way around giving her tits since they were always hanging out front and center, completely unobstructed. Once they decided she was going to be in Kingdom, they had no choice but to go all-in. Given how big of a bunch of prudes these guys are, I have no doubt that a modern Thunderblast would have her chest plate conveniently big enough to hide her underboob, and any complaints would be met with "Hey, it's accurate to her original toy!".as an excuse.

Sadly overshadowed by the United version a few years later. before CW/ WfC/Earthrise this was getting expensive, it still is but not astronomical.

I never get why people feel they can only have one of a TF character. They're puzzle toys with different engineering. They may be the same character but the experience is different.

Neither do I, but apparently some people justify it as there can only be one character and nothing more. I remember seeing a person a couple of years ago from that fancy website who would not buy any toys that share the same name as the original G1 character because he could not picture there being another character sharing the same name. He wouldn't buy Armada Megatron for example because he's apparently a nameslap who does not resemble the original G1 version at all and may have bought it if he was given a different name. He also bought Titan Cybertron Metroplex as Megalo Convoy rather than as Metroplex because it's a different name and thus would make him a separate character from the original G1 Metroplex.

I'd go a step further and say this is WHY it's worth it to own several of the same character. It's actually really interesting to see all the different ways designers can get turn the toy from the same robot into the same vehicle. The different trade-offs each design choice necessitates can be fascinating to see.

Sunstreaker seems wierd, but I'm guessing part of the choice requirements is how *easy* it is to make the changes needed.

Arcee might literally be a showcase choice. Trying to get more interest in the line by showing they aren't limiting themselves. Making this more of a true g1 revival line.

Kind of. He didn’t always have big parts, but he was a constant in both the cartoon and comic, to the point that he was the only 1984 character besides Optimus and Galvatron to have any big role post-Movie and I think he’s the only 1984 character not Optimus or Galvatron to appear in The Rebirth. He’s also the only character to have a toy still being shipped from 1984 to 1990

Weirdly enough, the company that created/owned it is still in business and was interviewed back in the 2000's by a TF fan asking about it. While they did mention the mold's whereabouts are unknown due to being lent out, they would presumably own the rights and could sign off Takara replicating it, but it's probably not worth the hassle since it has limited marketing in Japan

compared to literally every other character except Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream, he had a big role. Ironhide had a little more prescense in season 1, but of course dies in the movie so he's absent for the last 2 seasons, where Bumblebee gets a few eps, so it's fairly comparable.

But also Ironhide was *rarely* part of the plot, where Bumblebee *often* was, so in terms of appearances they were about equal, but Bee was more meaningful/more lines.

Technically thundercracker was in more eps than starscream in season 1, he just fodder for most of it lol

Honestly, I'm just thinking about that Optimus interpretation I would go for, where he's not even a leader yet and is just a civilian militia recruit. Whole deal is that the 'Cons won the war and chased the 'Bots off of Cybertron, so now he's part of the tiny "Crew" of an evacuation ship who dreams of returning to his home planet.
Also so he can exist at the same time as Optimus Primal, "Optimus" is just a name like Simon.

>Matrix chooses him as a mere vessel rather than its user because it wants someone who it deems as possessing the capabilities to use it. As a result, it charges him with finding someone who can do so.
>As Optimus and the crew he’s a part of make contact with other evacuees, he slowly learns important lessons along with forming bonds with all kinds of characters.
>As he learns and grows more, the Matrix allows him to use more and more of its powers, slowly beginning to realize that Optimus is a diamond who just needs a lot of polishing.
>The whole deal with the Matrix is that it grants not only the user strength and access to wisdom, but also grants them the ability to impart power to others via the bonds they’ve forged. The Matrix allows Optimus to give out stuff like the ability to Powerlink, use Cyber-Keys, Energon weapons, and all kinds of other shit, but only to people who he’s forged an actual positive connection with.

I've always wondered about this. I guess I understand that some people restrict themselves to just buying off one platform so they don't waste too much time browsing around but ebay seems like one of the worst choices for that. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've gotten a deal off ebay that wasn't on some other big site like Amazon for way less. Ebay has usually just been a last-resort choice for me for really old stuff you can't really find anymore.

part of the issue is that google lobotomized google shopping, so you can't find dick on it anymore. so unless you know a list of good online stores (good fucking luck, aint no google results that aren't paid ads), you just default to ebay
for a while, Mercari seemed like a godsend. less so now.

So I'm coming back to collecting after a long time. I really like Classics Hot Rod's car mode, this really sleek angular style. Obvious thing for me to look for now is whatever Sideswipe/Countach mold I'm most partial to, but you guys have any recommendations for stuff that feels similar to this but not necessarily restricted to just sports cars? I don't know what to call it exactly, I guess it counts as retrofuturistic?

The latter has basically became the default backstory for Optimus for the past 10 years or so, so I'm definitely for the former. Armada Optimus was basically that, Optimus Prime is his name from birth with no attachments to rank or whatever. And as far as backstories go it isn't clear but IIRC it was from a comic where Optimus was part of the Cybertron military and wasn't well acquainted with Megatron but looked up to and respected him for his achievements in the military until Megatron started a coup which is where they started becoming heated rivals and as clashing leaders of their factions.

We don't get toys with alt modes this good or unique anymore. The reason Classics Hot Rod's car mode feels "retrofuturistic" is because it was based on a concept car from the 70s called the "Dome Zero".

I'd say the closest thing I've felt in recent years is the siege sideswipe mold. It has sort of a concept car vibe, and it actually looks like a vehicle and not a hodgepodge of robot parts with wheels on the bottom.

The treads are rubber and on a little telescoping arm that collapses into itself. Collapse it and the treads form a wheel, extend the arm out and the treads straighten out into a more rectangular shape. It's a pretty cool way to accomplish the look from the movie imo.

In robot mode yeah, the only way he balances is if you use the arms to support him, but the straightened out treads in vehicle mode support the rest of the vehicle just fine.
I just dug mine out and there's some paint degradation where the rubber met plastic, that sucks but it's not very much.

I’ve always liked to imagine that the Quintessons referred to the Cybertronians with serial numbers, hence why older bots, Alpha Trion (three + on) and Beta specifically have names that refer to letters and numbers. When the Quintessons left, the Cybertronians kept the Greco-Roman influence, resulting in names like Dion (two + on) and Orion Pax. Although I think Optimus's serial number should be C1 to match Megatron's D16

When he was rebuilt he was simply renamed Optimus Prime. "Prime" wasn't a rank. It was just his name.

I could be wrong, but I think it was Animated that looked at Optimus and Rodimus' names and came up with the idea that "prime" is a rank.

Well, yeah, they already have the Lionizer mold on standby, now would be the perfect time to make a new Rad. Ideally, since his original toy shows motorcycle kibble, they could make him an Animated Prowl retool, which would be especially fitting as with his visor, helmet, and color scheme, he’d look like an Animated version of Smokescreen, completing the homage

People thought it was going to be Megatron because of Optimus Prime being the previous Haslab, then we got the hint of it being something to do with “Supreme” which people either took to mean Omega Supreme, Supreme Class (Primus), or Supreme Commander (Dai Atlas), then a Japanese designer said in a panel that he’d love to do an updated Liokaiser right after it was leaked that the new Haslab is from JG1 and might be a combiner. My money’s on Dai Atlas, as well as Roadfire and Sonic Bomber, because he’s a Supreme Commander, originally from JG1, and he can combine with the other Powered Masters to form Big Powered

There's also the fact that woman who was presenting Haslab RiD2001 Optimus/Fire Convoy said she watched a lot of G1 cartoons with subtitles to prepare for the event so it most likely is JG1 related.
>>11325931
>>11325934
Nah Energon Omega Supreme can be done retail. The only question is where Energon Optimus Prime fits in the big picture. Because of Omega Supreme, Optimus can't be Voyager sized in his core robot mode like his Armada form so he would have to be bigger than a Commander Class.

I mean... What did y'all think it was when hot rod got renamed into Rodimus Prime and it became known that Optimus Prime used to be Orion Pax.
By 1986, prime was a rank. No previous leader was named, but we DO know alpha trion was not a leader, but "kept the matrix safe" which clearly means it wasn't just whoever got the Matrix.

On BBTS, right? They sometimes put markups on exclusives from other stores but it's pretty inconsistent. Some of the Toxitron guys are at MSRP but then you get stuff like Road Pig or the Botropolis Rescue Mission with wacky price hikes.

I would normally think RID gigatron, but they'd be missing out on an easy, well selling white repaint.
Also, Unicron was a tie in to the war for cybertron series, which included 1986 bots.
2025/2026 lineup also includes combiners, AND Skybyte, but NO transformers energon characters. If they go with primus for a haslab, it's gonna be a g1ified version, to match unicron. I just feel like the timing is off.

At the same time, I think onyx is VERY likely to be retooled into RID gigatron in 2026 (25th anniversarry of RID)
So... I think I'm gonna go with Primus.

I was saying they established that holding the matrix didn't automatically make you a prime, and it was very obvious hotrod was chosen.
The autobot leaders, not ALL of them primes, all were tasked with carrying the matrix.
The leaders that the matrix chooses are renamed Prime.

Season 3 flashbacks even go so far as to say when the autobot leader before Optimus died, he gave the matrix to Alpha Trion for safe keeping.

Autobot leader + matrix holder + chosen by the matrix = Prime
At least in g1

Nobody else was ever chosen by the matrix. nobody else changed their name. Prime is not a rank or lineage or anything. it was just a name in the G1 cartoon. Sentinel Prime wasn't named until the Marvel comic in 1990 long after the cartoon was off the air.

Yeah, I think I get the issue. None of the Victory cast is any prominent enough outside their home series to ever get retail stuff, and would most likely shelfwarm. I mean, I wanted a Landcross, but it could work if they sold each piece the way PotP Battletrap was done, except as a two-pack. The Multiforce is always the Autobot counterpart to the Duocons, in my opinion, and seeing each two-piece combo as a Deluxe would not need you to stab your wallet too hard to complete it in the end.

Victory Saber was $180 for a smaller commander + a leader + 2 micromasters + accessories.

Liokaiser will likely be 6 deluxes + 6 micromasters + accessories, so I assume he'll hover around $200

I don't think any of us are arguing that.

It's a well documented fact that the movie had a plethora of retcons and their only focus was on establishing some fun lore for the sake of the movie, and that season 3 would then be tasked with trying to work that lore into things on the fly.

Which they sometimes failed at, like with pre-movie devastator origins.

But the moment Hot Rod became "Rodimus Prime" the existence of being "a prime" occurred, because there was at least 2.

Are you the same anon that keeps pitching all these different ideas about re-inventing optimus as something extremely not-optimus like?

Or are there just 3 or 4 of you bouncing ideas off each other.

Cause Optimus being a guy constantly outmatched by everyone around him and struggling to keep up is... just freaking wierd.

Do you not LIKE optimus? It's okay to prefer Ginrai (who constantly needs power ups, and ironically BECOMES someone else's power up) or did you just grow up on the armada trilogy, where everyone had power ups?

I just don't understand this obsession with emasculating Optimus

you could easily interpret that as "he's going to be our leader now, or at least a high-ranking general which is called a Prime."
The fact he has a new name suggests he has a new role, function, and quite possibly yes, rank. Not saying they DEFINITELY meant that at the time, but does this really contradict it? I forget whether you were arguing 'possibly' or 'definitely'

There's a g1 episode that's actually the reverse though, that Megatron is tired of getting his shit kicked in by Optimus that he literally takes the powers from all the other decepticons, challenges Optimus to a duel, and whoops him.

I mean, the entire show was a giant allegory for the cold war energy shortages and arms race. But that was the point of the autobots vs the decepticons. The decepticons focused on bigger guns, combaticons, predaking, etc, and the autobots focused on closing the gap, or defense. Superion being specifically because they kept losing to jets, defensor is obviously for defense, and computron was made literally to solve problems.

Optimus doesn't have to have the added schtick of "why is everyone getting stronger to surpass me" when the entire autobot force has to deal with that.

maximals in beast wars too.

dude I just joined this, I'm just saying that's not solid proof that it definitely wasn't a title.
>it's not in the cartoon
okay so when I was like "Are you arguing possibly or definitely" all you had to say was 'possibly' and I'd be like yeah. Like I also said in that post, not sure if you read it. there's no definite proof it meant a title in the show, or even a very strong suggestion.

>ITS NOT IN THE CARTOON.
Dude, the 1986 movie writers weren't even in charge of the writing for the first 2 seasons, and certainly weren't involved in the production bible of the era developed by Marvel.
What we know is that the writers intended the matrix to be a secret maguffin, though in one of the original scripts it was Primus' (not named that) transformation cog
In the other initial draft, Ultra magnus was originally just "Magnus" and when he got the matrix, he became "Ultra Magnus" which at the VERY least indicates that the Matrix was always intended to give a leader a 2 word name, even if the writers hadn't settled on "Prime" In that version, Hotrod is always hotrod.

So you're just being nitpicky if you're like "Okay, but technically even though the writers of the cartoon and the comic alll agreed that the autobot leaders had a lineage that carried the matrix, and that they would get fancy latin-esque 2 word names, and that 2 of them would directly be called Prime, we can't say "Prime is a title for the autobot leaders in G1"

you have no argument unless there was a character in the cartoon called "____ Prime" who was *not* a matrix-embued leader.

And *assuming* that the orion pax rebuild into Optimus did not include the matrix is a big ask.

it's probably as good as you're gonna get for something that *reeeeaaaalllly* stretched the imagination of the original toy

The main issue you're gonna have with any devastator design is that in the cartoon, his arms are *mostly* the additional parts. It's not even like menasor, where the cars slap onto his arms. They slap onto his *shoulders*

Now, if they re-imagine him entirely like they did with the siege seekers and ultra magnus, avoiding being toon-accurate in favor of an overall good looking robot mode toy, you might get an overall better devastator, but I don't think that'll happen outside of third party for at least five years.

you make a new replacement for BM, then you make a new transtech
one that actually works.. because these designs were never going to. animalistic vehicles, vehiclisting animals, i'm all for combining them.

for the BM replacement they could have all kinds of experiments going on dealing with Vok tech, it could result in the fossilizers, maybe even the rock lords, and then ultimately after they even things out, now we can have transtech shit.

nta, but I don't think Optimus struggling to keep up is weird, I think its cool when the leader isn't the strongest but the smartest and can take down stronger opponents with his wits.
Optimus and Megatron were the biggest toys in the first year but by he second onward they were strickly midrange in size
If anything I sort of disliked how in the UT they were often the biggest even before upgrades, really only Jetfire, Omega Supreme, and Metroplex were taller than his core mode.
Optimus and Megatron leading bigger, stronger bots should be a testament to their leadership if anything.

so, thought I'd do an update on SUV Arcee (Should she be called Sue-Vee? ArYuCee? S.U.Arcee?)
so, before I get to sculpting the pieces proper, I had to throw them in tinkercad and get all the measurements and proportions right.
and boy oh boy did I have some of them wrong.
this is the general figure proportions, but I've run into a slight problem.
I might have to make it a wider vehicle (I won't know until I sculpt it for real) which fortunately won't impact much, however...
It'll make that big bumper/wheel hip thing in the pic comically wide, but not *quite* large enough to wrap around her waist entirely. You can see it already looks a bit goofy, and I haven't sized it up yet.
Should I keep it as is, or should I try and engineer the wheels to fold up behind her butt like Earthrise Optimus?
Another option would be to have the bumpers pop off and become weapons (rifles, swords, combine into a crossbow?)

they said they're all new molds, unlike Vector.
This isn't saying "they'll only use the mold for this character" and it's not saying "no partials or retools will be done"
It's saying "while we are re-using some old molds in this line like legacy bulkhead for heatwave, animated bumblebee for fugitive wasp, etc, the remaining 13 won't be reuses from previous lines"

I mean, onxy almost *certainly* is getting reused as either gigatron, prime predaking, or UT scourge.

Hasbro can't afford to make 2/3s of their toyline be single use molds

Robot mode looks good. Shark mode could be better though. I have the original and he's a fantastic looking toy (he's got the nicest paintjob in my entire collection) but a bit clunky as an action figure, so I could be tempted? I'd have to wait for reviews.

Not really, you can get decent articulation and stability with integrated hips. I have Maketoys Giant and his hips are solid and have decent range, and they're not pulling any especially fancy engineering or anything, they just have good sturdy ratchets.

Giant's got very good range for a combiner, especially one from over 10 years ago that doesn't fake half the gestalt. At the end of the day, by virtue of sheer weight you're going to be limited on poses for a larger-than-Legends-scale combiner regardless of whether it partsforms or not, even if it has great articulation. Like, good luck finding a stand big and strong enough to support it in more dynamic poses.
I dunno, I've kinda got combiner burnout. I hope Liokaiser gets funded and is good, I'm not backing him myself but he looks impressive.

Nope. Partsforming hips won't help make the thing less unwieldy and heavy; if anything they'll make it heavier. The bigger and heavier the toy (even a non-transforming toy) the more trouble it will have reaching dynamic poses, to the point where combiner-sized toys struggle to balance with one foot slightly lifted. You can still get some cool looking poses with combiners, partsforming hips or no, but they'll never be as easy to get into a dynamic pose as a smaller toy. It's not an engineering issue, it's one of simple physics.
Also, frankly I'm willing to trade some poseability in a combiner for not having a pile of useless junk off to one side when not combined. At least SS Devastator has the hips turn into a trailer I guess?

I thought the same but then I saw how they engineered the arms. Looks like the hand is stored in one of the legs and slides out and the elbow is their waist.
