>>11451665Well, I think that's unnecessarily convoluted. These are super advanced sapient robots that can live for millions of years. At that point, what difference does it make if you're born from one magical robot or the other?
I don't hate Furman but he's a retard when it comes to lore and he always went for THE most absurd explanation for shit he could come up with; and later writers instead of bucking that trend, follow.
The G1 cartoon lore is, in my opinion, the best because of how easy it is to follow and how much originality it brings while being simple and kind of dumb.
The most glaring example of this is Megatron. G1 Megatron is unlike any villain seen in other places, a guy that was created to be the living vanguard of the Decepticons.
Post-IDW Megatron (Aligned, ONE, likely Cyberverse and Earthspark but I haven't watched either) is a cookie cutter villain, a run-off-the-mill fallen freedom fighter.
Another is the Dinobots. The G1 cartoon Dinobots are fun and uncomplicated. The G1 comics Dinobots are cooler but there's not crazy storyline to explain why they transform into dinosaurs, and they confirm cybertronians can scan whatever and transform into it
Post-IDW Dinobots can't decide what to make of them, but it's always some kind of science gone wrong cliche. You don't need that. Just say they were made to look like dinosaurs because dinosaurs are really strong.
>>11451674In general. I plan to get Prima when I get to it but only because it's not as ridiculous as the others.
He could be a good reason to learn to sculpt properly because holy shit that stupid fucking greebling.
