New thread because the old is dead.

Breastforce and Deathsaurus survival very likely due to upcoming toy edition. Pic related.

Has the Breastforce combined yet in the IDW stuff? I don't follow the comics too closely, mainly just get the IDW collections and read these threads/dumps as they come out so I'm behind by a while, probably.

Nope, not yet.

IIRC Hellbat kills the owner of Cobrabreast in Victory but he's alive in IDW, so I guess we'll be getting that guy instead.

Yeah, theres been a lot of leaks lately, let me see what I can dredge up.

Wonder if Trion is gonna get "upgraded" to a headmaster/lion form like the toy.

The Art of IDW's Transformers
I Am Optimus Prime (Robot Heroes)

=Fun Publications=
Official Transformers Collector's Club Magazine comic strips from issues #56-onwards.

=Titan UK comic=
Need
v1 #3-25,
v2 #1-21,
v3 #1-3,
v4 #15 onwards

Any full scans of the Collector's Club Magazine itself would also be awesome.
I only have 3H #1, and Fun #4, #5, #15, #23 and #31 in full.
Also in general any better quality scans of stuff already in the pastebin would be appreciated, the Marvel G2 stuff is amazingly LQ

It's probably going to be Vector Prime.
>>
>>80836275

Yeah, it's a new mold. New line, so new molds everywhere, while people try to guess what the repaints/molds will be.

Lots of theories about Alpha Trion there. Probably going to get a Leoconvoy out of it, if not by Hasbro, than by Takara likely. CW Liokaiser is going to be a CW Skylynx as the core body remolded/painted into Deathsaurus people have said.

Which again, is why I'm pretty sure none of the Liokaiser guys or Deathsaurus are gonna die in the upcoming stuff. Hasbro likes to see their stuff featured, I assume.

Also possibility for a Technobot's revival, considering theres a CW Computron coming out too.

Speaking of combiners and lions, this guy hasn't appeared in IDW yet, right?
>>
>>80836533

BotCon.

Originally they were going to do a exclusive repaint of Beast Machines Snarl as Alpha Trion but it got cancelled for some reason.

At BotCon 2014 they brought this concept back with Alpha Trizer (an Alpha Trion repaint from the Thundertron mold)

Considering how Alpha Trion never had an alt. mode in the G1 cartoon, it's not that much of a stretch if he turned into a lion.

personally I'm cool with it.

I thought they had the chips disabled, save for that one time when Horri-bull got executed for being a faggot.

>>80837378

I don't think him being gay was the reason for his demise.

I don't know how to feel about the retcon that he and Needlenose were a couple, it just feels like pandering.

>>80837835

Changing a character to specifically appeal to a minority demographic is indeed called pandering, Anon. Same as if you changed a gay character to straight to appeal to the majority.

3/10 for getting me to respond.

>>80837828

The current release block is the G2 combiner sets (Superion, Menasor, maybe Bruticus eventually?), Computron, Liokaiser, and whatever Takara cooks up or hasn't released yet for their UW versions, like their Grand Galvatron.

So why do you faggots foam at the mouth when it happens? EVERYTHING is pandering.

>>80837724
I thought it was before ? Since the scene had Skywarp watching the scene unaffected. Wasn't it suppose to imply Soundwave 'n' friends killed Horri-bull on purpose ?
>>
>>80837929

Because it shouldn't be happening. Theres no need to make established (key word there: Established) characters change like that. It's obviously driven by someones agenda: The writer, the editor, someone.

You know, sort of like how Iceman, who has had multiple relationships with women, is now just suddenly gay for no reason?

From the last thread:
>Why was Beast Wars called Beasties in Canada?
We couldn't have "War" in a kid's show title. Same reason why War Planets became Shadow Raiders. BTW, go watch Shadow Raiders if you haven't.
>Why did Canada have its own anime dubs?
We had one of the more popular dubbing companies at the time, and some of the stuff they dubbed was later redubbed by other (American) companies. Dragonball Z is most prominent example of this
>>
>>80837968
Its not like the fag-formers had existing history of relationships with women. And then suddenly a bitch announced they were gay.

All that pandering. Almost like they're a company. Trying to attract a specific audience that will like their product. And buy their product. Almost like every business panders to sell a product. Hmmm wonder why.

Sure Anon, people just do a 180 on their sexuality/skin color/sex/etc. all the time in real life. Shit, someone next to me just randomly turned into a woman.

So realistic, and it makes so much sense.

>>80837992

Check the /toy/ threads for that, they have pics of the CW Computron and a silhouette of the UW version. Plus Liokaiser is going to be a US release as far as anyone knows, but in this case you're probably better off waiting for the UW release of him because I'd bet, with all the remolds and shit Takara is doing for G1 accuracy, the Takara version in this case is going to be much better. Unless they totally UW Defensor it again and make it ugly as shit.
>>
>>80838040
Some pandering works better than others.

Like the faggotry works better than guuurl power.
>>
>>80837828
>So what combiners ARE coming out then?

The majority of them are already out: Devastator, Defensor, Superion, Bruticus and Menasor. Only Victorion, Computron and Liokaiser haven't been released yet.

>will America ever see them?

Yes but the ones in America are notably worse. Defensor has a remold of Swindle as a limb instead of Groove and Blast-Off is a straight recolor of Slingshot. The Constructicons don't have elbows and have QC issues and don't have their traditional weapons. And Menasor needs an upgrade kit from third party because he was badly designed and manufactured.

Not quite. CW Bruticus and Defensor have much better colors and design choices (unless you don't like Jet Blastoff).

UW Superion and Menasor are far superior though to the CW versions.

>>80838092

>>
>>80838101
Pandering is pandering man.
>>
>>80838073
I'm sure Horri-Bull being dead is going to come up with Needlenose working with Soundwave, since he's one of the people who knowingly let Horri-Bull get decapitated even when they already had the chips off.
>>
>>80837968
>Theres no need to make established (key word there: Established) characters change like that.
Well, IDW already did that many times with numerous characters, with varying results. I just hope IDW characterizations don't become THE default version.

>>80838310
Everyone and Needlenose talks about him like he's dead? Not sure how he would be alive otherwise.

>>80838256
If they're making toys from IDW, that depends on Hasbro AND Takara.
Like Roller for nip-exclusive Galvatron combiner. IIRC his backstory is that he's the roller drone that got abandoned by Optimus somewhere during -ations and is now pissed as fuck. Also designed after MTMTE's Roller.

So I've been catching up on RID again and I'm really enjoying it so far. Though it's a darn shame that most of those really cool Decepticon designs will never be translated into toys because Hasbro is to busy with G1 pandering

You cant pander to anything other than G1 because otherwise that's pandering and pandering will make you gay. And a woman. And no one wants that.

They made Shout! Factory change it to "Chestforce" in the subtitles of the Victory DVD set.

They'll probably make IDW use that name if they get a faction identity at all.

I almost want Starscream to scold/teach Windblade on how to properly choke him, the way Megatron probably does.
>Windblade: I'll strangle you!!
>[Strangles Starscream poorly]
>Starscream: No no no! That's not how you do it.
>WB: Wha... what do you mean?
>SC: If you wanted to choke me properly, you have to do it a certain way.
>WB: How?
>SC: Firstly, you need to do it with an air of apathy, a sort of detachment or disappointment. Whenever Megatron strangles me, he often does it after my failed attempts to usurp him. At first, he REALLY let me have it; express his displeasure of working with me, calling me names, and generally humiliating me infront of the other Decepticons. But after awhile, he probably just went through the motions with his punishments; he wouldn't even look me in the optics as he scolded me!
>WB: And this helps... how?
>SC: Well, it made WANT to get his attention! It made me do the things I did just to get his love and his wrath! It made me feel special!
>WB: Well, I'm NOT Megatron!
>SC: *Sigh* I suppose you're right. Carry on.

I'm actually a little ok with this. I always wanted to see Deathcobra get a chance to be more than a footnote.

I mean it sucks that we can't have a Liokaiser who uses all SEVEN potential Breastforce members, but they fucked Hellbat up so badly that I don't even mind that he's dead in the comics

Takara Computron is going to be very different fron the Hasbro one judging by the silhouette.

Also no Scrounge.

Screw that. Too slow. What you want is a weapon from the New Institute. The Gay Gun. As legend has when Swerve met the DJD sure it fucked him up, made him remain silent for longer than he's ever been, but it was worth it to replace that double fusion cannon with the experimental Double Gay Guy.

Nobody is sure what happens if you're hit with the gun, whether the double dose of gay cancels it out or makes you some kind of next level gay, but another legend says Tarn once used it on a character in MTMTE. GUESS WHICH CHARACTER

That is not the case at all
Devestaor never got Scavenger back inspite of the CW release
A good chunk of CWs guys were never made or are dead like trailcutter (he was in the toy rumor mill a few months before his death)
CW Bruticus never showed up and Swindle was seen shot dead (however the "swindle lives" wall scribing is going on)
Hasbro is very laid back and we could see this whole team get slaughtered without remorse because this is just a gift set of a series they are retiring out. If they were Titans return toys you might have reason to think they would be safe

I find that rather interesting. It's certainly not been that way in other threads, especially the /co/ Star Wars thread where the conversation often strays from the cartoons and comics. And at least one mod hangs out there, too.

Seems more like it's just one or more poster getting really upset and the mod/janitor just not giving a fuck. Which is even more interesting since the number of active participants in this thread is rather low for the number of posts. Still, could be an aggrieved lurker.

Probably just some wanker who rubs one out to trying to rile people up.

Much like most of 4chan.
>>
>>80879178
Probably?

I don't know, TFG just isn't what it used to be. The Star Wars threads on /co/ are usually pretty chill but they have their own user fights over canon and shit. Usually as long as it's related it's all good.

TFG used to be like that but yeah people are a lot less open to just have fun discussing all things giant reconfiguring robot regardless of media format. With Star Wars right now I guess there's some arguable wiggle room in that they're doing the massively connected "everything is canon" bit that Hasbro more or less tried with Aligned. I know, I know, not EVERYTHING was canon but a good chunk of it was meant to tie together.

Now curiously even though Aligned is more or less over with elements of it are creeping into the movies and comics. It's...kinda weird? Something like that anyway.

All I know is I miss old TFG. Love Prime or hate it, at least it helped draw people into the threads. Once we had enough people we could generally keep any Transformers conversation going. I mean when is the last time we even had a decent Transformers biology discussion? Or created something off the wall like Foodformers or the Sexy Covenant stuff.
>>
>>80879437

Honestly, a lot of the retarded shit seems to be the work of dedicated trolls. No one's really going to argue for 40+ posts back and forth about shit like Arcee being a tranny or pretending to be 'triggered' about things.

It's just shitheads hiding behind the Anon label and poor moderation with easily circumventable bans. It's the price we all pay for actually being able to discuss shit without having to worry about overzealous mods of other sites enforcing an agenda/being pricks.

Well, since I'm only just getting into the IDW stuff, why are so many characters just completely different from their G1 incarnations?

Like, shit, Spike is a straight up fucking nutjob with a hateboner for all robots. How the fuck did "construction workers kid who eventually becomes a major human contact with Transformers" translate to "GI Joe with a murderboner for robots"?
>>
>>80882557
I'm sure you will eventually, everyone does.
>>

That's just how IDW writers roll, since IDW universe is an alternate take on TF with G1 flavors. How some characters are portrayed depends on the writer and it can be however they see fit..
I admit I don't like MOST of IDW's portrayals, but if it works for the story, I can deal with that if the story is enjoyable and well, it's just an alternate take anyway.
>>
>>80883986
Some characters who otherwise had very little exposure and personality in G1 became quite prominent with IDW, like Prowl, which is kinda neat.

And Bee is dead, that's a plus right ?

Yes but you all need to understand that it needs to tie to the theme of the board
You should have started with how you would have like to seen that design showed up in the show/comic and then followed with your green text
It's all about presentation you have to leave the door open for /co/ related discussion otherwise people just think you are desperate to talk about a certain subject

But I didn't give a shit about him at all. All he did was get captured, get fucked up, get captured again, and then die. He had 0 personality and was pretty much everyones bitch boy.

Unless Spike does a complete 180 in personality, I wouldn't give a shit about him either. But at least he's competent in being an asshole.

So uh, from what I've seen from this thread and the /toy/ threads the IDW transformers looks pretty much awesome, but I can't figure out the reading order.

I've read the Megatron origins and then tried reading MTMTE, but that had had a whole host of history, then I tried reading The Transformers, but that exists in the same bloody timeline.

Could someone kindly drop a reading guide for me, please.

The DJD was farming sentio mettalico from bots for their own bots.. but although we know that there exists some proportion of constructed cold cons, assuming they couldn't replicate the life-energy from the matrix, we'd have to assume that it was farmed for the purpose of forging bots, right..?

Someone may have already had this theory, but I think the video sent in MTMTE#50 was sent by the crew as a sort of Last Rites before the DJD can get to them.

I also kinda think they made try and make a suicide pact so that the DJD won't get the chance to kill them.

But on the other hand, the guarantee that messages sent now would be received weeks later - in addition to your seemingly likely theory - reduces the suspense that we have for their impending deaths. Also, what would be the shadow that Fortress Maximus recognizes in your theory?

Just because she can fly doesn't mean she can fly straight after hitting a rock and tossed about in rapid water while getting water logged.
>>
>>80893169

Since I've not gotten that far in my reading yet, why are these guys exactly so scary besides outnumbering them currently?

All I've seen of them is some Aushwitz style deathcamp shit, but that doesn't mean they can fight, and Megatron (when he inevitably stops being a pussy) has been shown to wreck pretty much anyones ass in a fight, up to and including fucking Devastator-Who can probably hit with a shitton more force than these guys.
>>
>>80894729
>All I've seen of them is some Aushwitz style deathcamp shit, but that doesn't mean they can fight
Well the DJD is specifically designed to work together as a team to take down the Phase Sixers: the biggest and strongest guys of the Decepticon army, even more powerful than Megatron. They've been reinforced with the special metals like the Phase Sixers are submerged in to strengthen them in places and have been given special tools and weapons. These 5 can kill one of those guys without taking casualties (most of the time) so Megs in a weaken state should be no problem , even with the rest of the Lost Lighters there. Top that off with Deathsaurus' untold numbers of elite fighters and it's a bad scene.
>>
>>80894233

Dude that's not how water currents work. They don't magically stop adhering and forcing just because you're a jet, turning her fans on would just raise her slightly before the current made her twirl on her head and end up not just still in the water but also upside down now. Plus like anon mentioned she took a mean hit from that rock.
>>
>>80894829

Ok, that explains it then.

So...Who have they killed thats actually important/well known?

>>80894829
They also get themselves jacked up on a super fuel only them and Megatron knows about.

So far that we know of, Black Shadow and the alternate Lost Light Overlord, but he was restrained so that's debatable. After that we haven't seen many actual executions, we just hear that even other big bads are afraid of them.

>>80894901
And this is important too, I forgot this.

>>80894972
They killed the entire crew of the LL. They may be an alternative set but they share the same skills/strength as the original crew. Kinda shows what they can do if they ever fought them again.

I only didn't mention them since they other guy asked for well know kills but yeah, they slaughtered the whole crew of the alternate Lost Light for giggles while high off their asses.

Alex has it somewhere, I'm sure- I've not seen it.
When we were at TFcon, he was designing a triple-changer Megatron that ended up not being used. I want him to show that. That was awesome; I don't know that he finished it.
But yeah- he usually has all this stuff planned out; maybe not fleshed out 100%, but it's all somewhere. I'll bug him when I catch him on Skype next about it.

We have a lot of fun. In fact it sucks a lot when either of us are at a convention that the other isn't attending because then Skype is BORRRRING.
I've been lucky enough to get a few visual ideas(as well as a thing I think writers forgot about) into some future MtMtE issues coming up soon. He's one of the best artists to work with; but I'm sure a 12 year work history is the culprit on that.

Okay, I'm a bit out of the loop, so I'm going to need some quick spoon-feeding.
I haven't done much with Transformers in quite a few years now.
I haven't watched a show since Prime because I think that Robots in Disguise is shitty and I stopped buying new figures since all the ones I found in stores were absolute shit, and the last two that I bought had awfully fucked up paintjobs and parts that barely fit together, just coming out of the box.
I still fucking love Transformers stuff, but I'm not as educated on stuff as a lot of you fellows are.
I'm thinking about buying some MP's at some point in the near future, because I finally want some new figurines in my collection that aren't shit, but until then, are there any actually good looking toy lines coming up soon?

Personally, I really like Gen/CW and upcomming Titans line; but then I'm a sucker for everything being thrown at us in those lines and I'm VERY easy to please when it comes to a figures that aren't aimed only/specifically at adult collectors. I'd definitely consider buying an MP; Bumblebee is the cheapest, and I have Bumblebias, but I love that figure a lot.

Is there any explanation as to why the toys went to shit?
It seems like it happened right around Prime, maybe even a little before.
I've bought at least five figures now with absolutely fucked paint, limbs that pop off with general movement, or parts that don't fit together like they should.
Not to mention just how fucking cheap and hollow the plastic feels on some of them.

In all seriousness this isn't, or at least wasn't, the worst place to discuss Transformers. There used to be some damn good discussions back in the day and, love it or loathe it for all the problems it causes, having so many Anonymous is what helped.

Not saying anything against trips, I'm sure you've seen all the complaints personally, but with the vast majority of people here being anonymous it was largely about the discussions. Nobody really knows who anyone else is, and while you can sometimes recognize posters based on how they write, generally it creates fewer egos and fewer cliques. Too many forums have their "faces", the people you don't dare piss of or try to argue with because their fans will rip you a new one. Sometimes they even have friends in mods which can get banned over slight or no offense.

Seems like all TFG needs is something we can rally behind again. Maybe the new cartoon will be that. Maybe it won't. I guess we'll see.

>There used to be some damn good discussions back in the day

Yeah I remember those days. Those silly Swindle and Lockdown posts, all of us gathering during new episodes of TFP, deep discussion of TF lore and alien biology. We use to get crazy excited during the comics but that died down to a whisper. God damn I miss that.
>>
>>80904629
People hated Prime when it was new and calling it things like "Bayformers: The Animated Series" and complaining about Animated being over.
>>
>>80904869
Some people hated it. After a new episode there would be huge spikes in trolling, and I mean the obvious kind of trolling that sounds like we've been invaded by kindergartners with Malcolm Tucker's level of gentile discourse.

In general, yeah, it was like >>80904629 described it. Being part of those discussions was a blast. Wasted a lot of time here. Now it's like popping back in for nostalgia, but the depressing kind like seeing the home you grew up in turned into a rotten, termite eaten mess.

But feels like a lot of /co/ has gone that way. Feels like the numbers on this place are down. Seems to have occurred near the height of the whole 8 chan crap, the whole The Cuckening bullcrap. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe /co/ hasn't really changed. Maybe it just doesn't seem as much fun to me personally anymore.
>>
If anyone's still here, maybe you can help answer a question for me.

Is there any connection between the Cybertron and Energon/Armada series? Because I know Cybertron was supposed to be a reboot that got turned into a continuation by Hasbro but I don't remember the show linking to either of previous series at all.
>>
>>80905221
Megatron's designs has some "Unicron armor" in it, the black hole is supposed to be the result of Unicron being defeated at the end of Energon, and the FubPub comic makes it clear that Cybertron Downshift is the same guy as Energon Downshift.

Of course, the number of things that go AGAINST the idea of it actually being a sequel outnumber the things that support it, but you're gonna get that when nobody on the side of making the damn thing could decide. I think it's better to take it as it's own thing.

Since there are no ripfriends anymore people make do with what they can. That said it was up on KAT hours before that post. Not everyone can use that option, though.
>>
>>80905221
Loose sequel thing. The big sucky thing is made from the remains of Unicron in Cybertron while the Galaxy Force is ambiguous and just says the remains of a dark god which would fit Unicron best but has no direct connections. Also characters in Galaxy Force that have similar designs to ones from Micron Legend or Superlink(Hot Rod/Hot Shot and Excellion, Jetfire/Skyfire and Dreadlock, Ratchet and First Aid, etc) are not stated to be the same, while Cybertron does, even for the ones that had their VA change. The reason for this was Hasbro and Takara wanted it to be a sequel, but the production of the show was with a different group than the last two so they wrote their own story. Sometimes generics were using AE guys as base anyway so it ends up with a bunch of Silverbolt/Blurrs. Takara later attached Galaxy Force in the same continuity like Cybertron was, but didn't implement the things of the western version, so you can believe whatever you want.
>>
>>80905183
I think many people have just left /co in general (after losing their interest in the current comics and cartoons) and more and more trolls have decided to stay here.

Where is the TF discussion happening nowadays? I have actually though about, heaven forbid, getting a tumblr account, just because dA isn't that active either.
>>
>>80905632
That's kind of how RID is feeling to TFP. They're doing the whole Robots in Disguise to a ridiculous degree given if it IS directly related to TFP BB has friends on Earth, resources he could be using.

>>80905853
As far as joining tumblr, I don't recommend it, just find two or three blogs you like and check them weekly because tumblr is filled with fools and site programming that sucks long schlongs. It's also a huge time waster. If you do join, use Xkit.
>>
>>80905652
Possibly. I don't hang out in those places but from what I've read there's something of a troll migration, people who are used to being total, unfettered assholes for no real reason other than they can. Supposedly they hit /tv/, turned it into the festering dunghole it is today, and word is they've been coming to /co/ for awhile. A lot of that is driven, I suppose, by how mainstream comics have gotten with film and TV shows. There is a natural crossover so some of the assholes came along for the ride.

It's a theory anyway.

As for tumblr, I never had the best of luck with that website. I ran two, one for old time radio (lot of pulp hero stuff, The Shadow, Green Hornet, but some of the classic sci-fi like X-Minus One and Dimension X; you can tell it's sci-fi because of the X) but that was incredibly niche and didn't get much traffic. By comparison my art/writing tumblr was worse. Tumblr is a horrible place for that unless you already have a following or you're drawing to something popular (i.e. fan pandering). At least in DA you know how many people visit your work. Tumblr, unless you get a like or comment you feel pretty damn invisible. It doesn't have a very strong art community for sharing.

Anecdotal evidence from 2014, for whatever that is worth.
>>
>>80906147
Honestly, it doesn't matter if it is or not. Like how Masterforce and Victory barely reference older Transformers shows. Like if Victory Leo wasn't built from the Ginrai Transector would have been completely standalone.
>>
>>80905183

I don't think /co/ changed much, I just think theres less to discuss due to the nature of the mediums.

You're drip fed comics. They don't release'em in batches, you get 20 or so pages a month/every 2 weeks/bi-monthly/etc.

You're drip fed episodes. This isn't Netflix, they just don't drop a whole season in your lap.

When new stuff hits there is an upsurge of activity, and then it dies down after everyones run it through the wringer.

Personally I haven't watched any of the cartoons since Prime, and I really don't like "heavily stylized" designs for Transformers in a lot of the 'recent' series with long gangly limbs, oddly angular instead of boxy designs, or nose-less faces, so I don't have much to discuss on those.

>>
>>80906650

I mean, I can recognize when something looks good, it's just not my taste at all, and I don't like that sort of art direction for Transformers. They don't have to be walking stacks of boxes, and variety is nice, but the gangly limbbots and noseless faces both don't look good to me, and make for pretty ugly toys to boot.
>>
>>80906886
Then there's beast machines.
>>
>>80906886
RID has been interesting for non-standard Transformers. Animals or things that are just plain alien looking that turn into cars instead of humanoid robot->vehicle, which is interesting. There are some interesting design choices here, but not always. Insecticons who turn into cars was, well, it's goofy enough that I can kinda dig it. They've also, to my knowledge, added a lot of unique "sub types" to Cybertronians. Not just Insecticons or Dinobots, and not just group names like Aerial bots or Constructicons. Some of them are downright weird. Season 2 seems to be going a little light on that except for introducing some new Chompazoids. I guess Underbite has some siblings on Earth now.

Still when I see people talking about different versions of characters showing up, or even things like Nautica is an OC who is popular enough to merit a (possible) toy, RID just doesn't seem to be generating anywhere near enough enthusiasm that any of this stuff will catch on. Maybe if someone decides to use it as an obscure footnoot.
>>
>>80907162

Honestly, I want to see more roboanimals ala G1 Predacons, Seacons, Ravage/Buzzsaw/Laserbeak/Ratbat, etc.

And I do like things grouped. The 'bots feel more unique to me when there's only a few of'em, and they stick to a set group, rather than the idea theres just 20 Not-Badgerbots (or whatever) running around somewhere.
>>
>>80907271
I just wish they'd do better with the minicons than just Bakugan bots. I really liked how TFP Soundwave incorporated Laserbeak into his superstructure, lead to some interesting theories about if he could merge with his other traditional cassettes he'd be a pretty buff dude.

Chopshop was interesting, though. A minicon combiner, though only one of his component selves seemed to hold his dominate personality (though at least one of his parts wasn't a total dick and helped them out once)
>>
>>80907162
I think RID's biggest sin is being boring. Nothing there really stands out and it seems to be just a collection of episodes introducing an ever growing army of toys, sorry, Decepticons.

In the latest episode everyone was suddenly the color of dirt, Windblade fell into the river, we saw three bad guys whose names I can't even remember anymore, and Optimus pretended to be a useless old fart (or alternatively someone is treating him like that). There's just not much to talk about.

>>80907351

I really liked Prime Soundwave, he was fairly decent for something that didn't talk.

>>80907755

Fembots are alright, we need more of'em. More equals more chances of toys. I mean, shit, all there was for a long damn time was Arcee, Elita-1, and Blackarachnia. And Arcee didn't even have a toy, or Elita (not counting stuff like convention shit, I mean a normal toy available anywhere).
>>
>>80907853
Flooding the market with generic unappealing fembots isn't helping anyone but a feminist check list.

One well written fembot is worth several dozens affirmative action shelf warming quotas.
>>
>>80907991

Asking for well written in a kids show is a bit of a stretch these days. We're not getting getting Batman's and Gargoyles anymore, we're getting Johnny Test's.

Best you can hope for is GRRL POWER hypercompetant females.
>>
>>80907991
Did you ever think that maybe what you find generic and unappealing may not be how everyone feels?

And you're certainly jumping the gun tremendously with your second statement. Seems like it's not the "generic" bugging you but the fembot, your jadedness is making you instantly dislike and deride anything new that comes along. Or maybe I'm wrong and you're a super open minded individual. Certainly doesn't seem that way.
>>
>>80908047
I wouldn't call RID Johnny Test level. Johnny Test, after all, was an excuse for the government funded Canadian entertainment mandate that kept it going.

RID is more... Ben Ten Alien Force. A step down in production values and storytelling, nothing really to write home about, but at it's worst it's mostly just bland instead of an your face guitar riffing monstrosity.
>>
>>80908148
Or maybe you thinking I'm taking this personally? don't be so offended. If all it took was the low bar of one person liking a character to carry a franchise, we wouldn't need artists and designers.

When you flood the market with ill-thought out and badly designed concepts don't be surprised when people see right through the pandering for the low quality beneath it all.

You actually do seem to be judging based solely on the massive amount of baggage you're carrying, yeah.

I look at it this way. Generics aren't a symptom of some vast vagina conspiracy as you seem to think. That's just Hasbro doing what they do best, flooding the market with mass produced crap that all starts to blur together after awhile. They've done that with "male" characters for ages now. Now there is something not even quite approaching gender equality in the production of generic looking characters. Is that glorious? No, of course not. But it also doesn't bother me, and I don't see why it bothers anyone else unless they really have an axe to grind against some bogeyman social crap.

Whether a character is well-written or not is important, but these days we're lucky enough if any character gets that.

If the show is bad I just stop watching, like RiD.

Looks to me I triggered your Feminism card. Its counter productive to female representation to not consider the importance of the quality of characters you're introducing. People are going to associate female characters with low quality if you do that too much.

The Transformers movie would be a good example of what happened when they thought flooding new characters was a "good idea"
>>
>>80909479
Feminism card? As if that's a thing outside the blogosphere? Dude, you got butthurt because someone posted a female transformer, then complained about the writing of her when you also admit you never watch it.

Whatever you're trying to accomplish with what you're writing you're sabotaging yourself at every point. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. Claiming it's horrible and bad and pandering or whatever else bug is up your butt about a show you don't watch, that's just running face first into a brick wall.

It's not that they thought it was a good idea, it's that they didn't know killing off everyone was a BAD idea. They hadn't anticipated kids getting attached to the characters. They were ignorant, not apathetic.

I don't really know how much more we can talk about when it comes to TF fiction, there isn't a lot of wiggle room for meta and analysis like there is for other shows.
I don't think anyone is interested in fatigued essays about how Optimus is declining as a hero over the years in a reflection of how society views anti-heroes as the real good guys now, and the ones who strive to do good are usually doing it out of a limited world view of what they think is good.
>>
>>80910559
Just having new characters makes it more interesting than TFP. TFP is the epitome of a show that you only watch once and never again. You can do a 30 minute youtube compilation of things from TFP that were worth watching.

Only in the same way we used to have a guy really creeping on Sari, and also that one guy who was REALLY into TFP Arcee but annoyed the shit out of people because he kept dumping the same damn images every thread.

>>
>>80905221
Cybertron was always meant to be a continuation; a final chapter. That's why Hot Shot looks like a more mature version of his Armada/Energon self, why red alert from armada returns, why Jetfire is still around,etc. Its just that takara gave the license for the show to a different company that proceeded to ignore any of those plans and do their own thing. Hasbro would try to be more take-charge with the writing on shows since then because the movie made them take the brand more seriously, and we haven't gotten a major show written in Japan since.
>>
>>80910751
Is that it? Seems more like "triggered" has become synonymous with claiming someone is butthurt as an easy way to dismiss their argument via ignoring it.

>>80910740
They've gotten a pretty good run on new characters, mostly "con of the week" stuff, sure, but some interesting designs.

I wish the writers hadn't forgotten some of the weirder plot points like why the heck some of these Cons were locked up in the first place. We've had a clumsy dinobot, a shiny object obsessed klepto, a guy who got bullied into being a low level crime flunky, etc.

And then there's the uncertainty of how old Fixit and the Alchemor even are and where all his weapons came from.

He is. I wish he were still a weakling though.

I like to know if these cons were locked up before or after the war considering how old Fixit is. Some cases sounds pretty petty to be locked up but maybe there is more too it. Maybe a really corrupt government system before the war.

Goggles, visor, its still clearly meant to look like Energon Hot Shot's head.

Best I can figure is he's old, his ship is old, and very likely he's been acquiring prisoners for a long time. Makes a certain amount of sense for their war, you know? Forget prisons, no matter how well fortified and guarded EVENTUALLY the other Cons will bust it open and acquire a shitton of new soldiers. Mobile space prisons? Much harder to find and it can run. Get onboard and Fixit type bots are pretty damn hardy.

The issue is a mechanism for transporting prisoners as you need to. Maybe some kind of automated shuttles or secret encrypted autobot signal. Something that's hard for the Cons to crack to lure the ship in. Something like that anyway.

I can't remember if there was any saying about any records of the cons who was arrested during the war? Still it's a huge mystery I really hope they will explain. Fixit types are pretty hardy and freaky why so many appeared on that other abandoned ship.

I thought Thunderhoof was a pre-war criminal. That and Underbite ate a city once or some shit. A lot of what they're saying doesn't sound like recent events, but relatively ancient history.

Nobody remembers all the poor drowned Fixits. Except Strongarm who still has nightmares while recharging.

That can't really be accurate since we don't know Tarn's real name. Gotta wait till we know his actual name then see.
