>>9607119>This is similar to what they did with Diaclone Reboot and their animated shortsNot sure how the diaclone shorts looked but in the Netflix series, it looked absolutely awful because they didn't even bother to clean anything up, thus you had shit like the mushroom peg wheels, the structural ribs on wings that the toys had so Hasbro could save on plastic, and even Megatron having fucking forearm gaps where his fists flipped out, which lazily slapping two vaguely piston shaped objects in them did not make up for. Also made characters who didn't have toys yet, like Bumblebee and Elita 1 stick out like sore thumbs.
>And of course it's a toy commercial, just like the older shows.G1 was really the most guilty of this and we really haven't seen anything that blatant until the Netflix series. Even though just about every other TF series had toys to sell you, they at least had the decency to have more going on and an actual story to tell. They also didn't just kill characters because the toy was no longer on shelves. Not gonna call them high art or anything, but at least there was a sincerity to them. Netflix, like G1, had none of that sincerity whatsoever.
>Are you disappointed that they made the toy, and hence the Netflix character, much bigger than how they are in the comics?No no. Don't misunderstand me. My point is just to give credit to the toy for that and that the show had nothing to do with it, not to mention just fucking tossed him aside after a boring chase and fight sequence and didn't bother to do anything else with him. He was only there because he got the toy and he didn't do anything of value.
