So was this guy? Well, you know...
>>147080032Yeah. Knock Out being "gay coded", which was obvious, is fine. IDW is where the real "gay cringe" comes from.Transformers delving deep into soap romance, gay or not, is also stupid. It's an action series meant to sell toys with guns. Since when do people who like soaps or gay fanfics even like things like giant robots, guns, wars, cars, tanks, etc? It doesn't make sesne
Menasors personality should be a fusion of tourretes guy and a fleshpound from killing floor
>>147080149>It's an action series meant to sell toys with guns. I get what you mean. But hasn't Transformers delved into romantic subplots in the past? >Since when do people who like soaps or gay fanfics even like things like giant robots, guns, wars, cars, tanks, etc? It doesn't make sesneEvidently, plenty or so it would seem. I mean look at Brave Bang Bravern. Not /co/ but it does have what you listed.
>>147080032Don't care, still would
>>147080149>he doesn't know about the history of /m/echa and fujos
not even worth a bump
>>147080359Idc about foreigners, Japs are inherently feminine with their media.>>147080337Transformers always shoehorned in a little cheesey romance, but that's different than like it being the main draw. From a business standpoint, it doesn't make sense because no little boys care about that shit. Ask anyone what their favorite part of G1 or BW was who actually grew up with it and played with the toys, and nobody is gonna mention any of the romantic subplots.
>>147080348These artists really do go all out, don't they?
>>147080405i liked shipping when i was a little boy
>>147080149test: do you know the actual context for your image
>>147080599Yeah, it doesn't change anything, it's still the image/words you're reading that shouldn't be in a comic about robots who transform and shoot each other, which is what the pages should be filled with. Transformers hardly ever even transformerd in IDW after a certain point, you know, the main gimmick of the franchise. Transformers inherently, is based on action, the action of transformers from a car/tank/jet/dinosaur/whatever into a robot with a gun to shoot the other ones, if you don't have that you miss the pointAnd I already know someone is going to be pedantic and go on about how you need dialogue and story and blah blah, well no shit, but it should revolve around the action as well, I want to read Transformers talking about their war and how they're gonna beat the other Transformers and things of interest such as that, not who they want to kiss
Masculinity is not defined by the rejection of all things that's perceived as feminine, and it is a sign of emotional immaturity to subscribe to such beliefs.
>>147080804you didn't provide proof to your answer of my question
>>147080436I'm half convinced that mecha artists all sell their souls to Unicron for artEspecially artists who dedicate their careers to drawing TFP Shockwave
>>147080032>Gay robot.Lol, Canada did it first.
Transformers romance is only good if it's human X robot.
>>147080977I imagine this must have been the pinnacle for G1 then, eh?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nRZRrP3meY
>>147081002Yes and kissplayers
>>147080942Don't celebrate too soon.
Am I the only one who read IDW without focusing on and seething over the faggotry
>>147081198no, plenty of people are normal as well
>>147080032Vain? Yes.
>>147080977Ah, a fellow man of culture.
>>147081002Everyone memes on this episode for the absurdity of a romance between a human and cybertronian, but it's actually still a really good episode on its own, Astoria is a fun character, peak G1 indeed.
Which Transformer is the freakiest of their respective faction
>>147081423>freakiestIn what fashion? If you mean what I think you mean it'd probably be.>DecepticonsAirachnid, Megatron>AutobotsHot Rod, Elita-One>PredaconsBlackarachnia>MaximalsRattrap
>>147081529I do mean in the sexual deviant kinda way yeahI can kinda see Megs as freaky but if anyone's there I could see Octane given that the spaceship literally blew up the moment he decided he was gonna look up Autopussy
>>147081198>>147081198Are the IDW books any good at all?
>>147081615Lol no.
>>147081615Yes.
>>147081637>>147081653duality of man
>>147081267Of course.
>>147081615They're a mixed bag from what I've seen, but I think some people hold them in slightly higher regard than they should solely because they're technically the longest running Transformers continuity out there, for some people, IDW Transformers is the most important piece of the franchise.
>>147080398But you just…
>>147082071newfag
>>147081615on average they're greatthere's a few stinkers but they're pretty rare
>>147080032that one? no.but both the idw1 and idw2 versions were canon gay for breakdown
>>147080032An Automobile? Yes. He likes how he looks in steel-plated radials!
>>147081615Only in partsThe overall flow is a clusterfuck
>all talk, no shockWhat did he means by this?
post Wouldsstarting with the obvious
Skybound comics are good but some moments are so extremely dramatic that they end up being funny. I know this is the type of hardcore stuff Transformers fans want out of the franchise, but it's only that with barely any cooldown time in between, so the dark moments don't hit as hard.
>>147084169yeah i have to agree, there needs to be more breathing room/one off adventures, i feel like there's too climaxing in modern fiction. like for example EarthSpark's need to end every episode batch drop with a climatic 2 parter episode gets exhausting real fast.
>>147084251At least in Earthspark and other animated shows there is downtime in between the action-packed climaxes, The writing is way better in Skybound than Earthspark, but it wouldn't be a horrible idea to grab some of its structure instead of blowing up everything every issue.
>>147080032Yes, the giant mechanical alien is gay in exactly the same way Earth men are gay because female Transformers fans have a one track mind.
>>147084673Well, if there's male and female Transformers the same way there are men and women on Earth, then....
>>147084623
>>147081423Chromedome and Rewind canoodled inside of Roller, so there's that.
>>147084708Exactly. The lack of self awareness these people have, I swear.
>>147080405>Ask anyone what their favorite part of G1 or BW was who actually grew up with it and played with the toys,Bmackarachnia fucking the dog bird
>>147083872He’s too pure for that.
so if knock out being derided for choosing to be a car is a metaphor for being gay does that mean the decepticons in prime all think the autobots are faggots
>>147085754probably.
It was a magical moment to be at Botcon in the moment where one of the Prime writers implied Knockout being gay was a glitch in the Allspark. You could visibly see people next to him do that "am i supposed to laugh" face.
>>147083872On one hand I wish more female Cybertronians would look less samey but on the other the ones that don't look like every other with a new shade of color tend to just look like dudes with female voices.
>>147083872Why is FOC Prime deep fried?
>>147085136Chromedome and Rewind suck assOut of all the canon and noncanon ships spawned from IDW, I genuinely cannot fathom anyone unironically picking this particular dogshit one as their favourite
>>147088024people like it cause it was the first but honestly yeah i think the comic got derailed when they brought the alternate Rewind to replace Chromedome, and Chromedome's shady backstory had to be dropped.
>>147088024I put it above Cyclonus and Tailgate at least
>>147086851Cute
