>Most of its concepts and lore were created bu Americans
At first that was true. But Japan made its own lore stemming from the trademarks Hasbro made starting in 1985, not even a year after its American launch. We had Marvel comics and the G1 cartoon, they had a manga series and countless anime and OVAs. I always use the analogy that saying Transformers is a Hasbro creation is like saying Zoids is a Marvel UK creation; its reductionist either way. A lot of people are accepting the expansive Japanese side of Transformers because they live in an era where its no longer locked behind regional exclusivity.

>and it's always been pushed as an American product first
Depends on what era you're talking about. In the G1 era, Japan outpaced America quickly, and the Unicron trilogy was basically Aaron Archer living in Japan. It wasn't till the post movie era that Japan took a step back in media due to declining popularity. However the Japanese side and the American side gave always worked closely together on the toys, they aren't two entities but Takara/Hasbro are one.
>>
>>22594746
Oh, I'm not denying the Japanese side of the Transformers franchise. The partnership between Hasbro and Takara has always been the reason for its success, and a lot of Japanese-exclusive stuff is very popular with Western fans. I'm not saying that the Japanese stuff isn't valid or important; I'm just saying that it's primarily an American franchise

>I always use the analogy that saying Transformers is a Hasbro creation is like saying Zoids is a Marvel UK creation
I'd argue that Zoids is different because it's primarily a Japanese release, since it was distributed to other countries from Japan. With Transformers, the toys were indeed from Japan, but all of the ideas would lead to it becoming Transformers were developed in America, thus making it more of an American product. I think Power Rangers would be a better comparison, personally.
>>
>>22594900
I guess it depends on your point of view. It became primarily American, but only really in the latter decade of the franchise media. I use Zoids as the analogy because even though Zoids is mostly Japanese these days, its name and trademarks and initial lore came from Marvel UK, much like Transformers. Also like Transformers, Japan made its own lore completely separate from the old UK lore (even though Japan used Sunbow G1 as their springboard). If Transformers continued on the route it was on in G1, it would've become Japanese dominated like Zoids. However, Transformers was always much like a tennis match, Hasbro served and for 30 years Hasbro and Takara went back and forth being the more dominant force. Regardless, Hasbro and Takara will always choose whats best for their respective markets. Unless one or the other steps out/stops owning the franchise, it will always be American and Japanese franchise that practically exists as two separate halves. It probably won't be much longer until Takara elects to take the lead on media production in their own market, considering how hard Hasbro projects are flopping.

>Power Rangers
That's another good analogy, I'd also use Sonic The Hedgehog as well.
>>
>>22595036
I wouldn't count Hasbro out too yet. The Skybound comics have been dominating, and the Legacy toys have still been really popular. I know people have talked about the possibility of a new Transformers anime, and while that would be really cool, I don't think there's a big enough market in Japan to justify it, considering that there hasn't been a completed Japanese dub of a Transformers series since Animated. Still, you're right about Transformers being a joint Hasbro/Takara product, and I'm sure either would be willing to try another anime of the other suggests it.
>>
>>22595065
But let’s be honest here: Hasbro’s been playing way too safe. The Skybound comics are an exception, but who knows how long their quality will last. Earthspark is just more family-friendly garbage with shitty jokes and moral preaching. Rise of the Beasts was boring as hell, and Hasbro keeps reusing G1 designs due to Brand recognition. Plus, Reactivate has been dead silent for two years now, so you’re better off playing mobile crap like Earth Wars.

Honestly, I think Transformers needs a break. It’s gone on for far too long. Maybe Gobots can come back instead.

Hasbro tried something like this back around 2008 with their Transformers and Star Wars crossover line. It had characters piloting giant transforming mechs of themselves. I think the idea worked for faceless/helmeted characters like the clones and droids, but the idea of Luke building a giant mech of himself is a pretty silly one.

>Isn't that what G Gen does
As the other anon said, I'm pretty sure that only some of the G Gen games do that, while others are just straight adaptations. But I wouldn't know, since I haven't actually played them.

>Also, what about Thunderbolt, AGE, IBO, G-Bitch, and other newer AUs and entries?
I'd add Thunderbolt in immediate post-war period during the early portions of the timeline. I'm honestly not sure how I'd incorporate IBO, G-bitch and Age, though. I probably wouldn't, since there's enough bloat as is. I mentioned in another thread that, at most, I'd make 00 crossover with IBO and G-Bitch, since they all involve PMCs of some kind, and there's clearly defined world/corporate powers who rule their settings (that they're explained or elaborated upon properly is another matter).

Maybe I'll start this soon, to exercise my writing, but we'll see.

I read a Seed fic called Seed a Barren Sky which is unfortunately dead.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6731742/1/Seed-a-Barren-Sky
Where its Seed, but it includes characters from Destiny and a bunch of new Gundams. Basically Shinn and Stella team up with Kira against the ZAFT boys + Rusty and Shiho.
I'm tempte to write something similar, where Shinn and Mayu get caught up in the shitstorm in Heliopolis, they find an Astray unit, or an extra 6th G-weapon and pilot it to escape, joining the Archangel. One thing I have in mind is that Shinn initially fights like he's in later Destiny, wanting to get up close and personal so he could use his beam sabers or melee weapon, but he gets out of that mindset after the Archangel crew admonish him for being too reckless as they may not be able to repair his Gundam next time, or his actions almost kill Mayu.

A much better show btw. Seriously, the fact that she got so little screentime in the second half was criminal. Not to mention, given how it was written by Ichirou Okouchi, her relationship with Haruto was practically dropped to make way for more melodrama, when it was one of the strong points of the show, not unlike what happened with Lelouch and Kallen's relationship.

Hence why I plan to give those two more scenes in my fanfic.

How would you fix it?

I don't remember this one too much. I think I enjoyed it. It had good Gundam elements, which modern Gundam anime doesn't do that well in my opinion. Modern Gundam animes have gone way off course from their core beliefs. I've been screaming tears all morning over the lost Gundam ethos. The shows need more movement. I don't like these new Gundam designs bro, they make me so anxious. They're cool I guess because something new is always exciting. The only problem with that is it never feels right in our hearts.

You can only rehash the same exact fucking message so many times before people get tired of it.
Gundam is an intimidating series to get in to when there's like a dozen series, movies and OVAs to go through. Today's audiences are likely to veer away from it because jingling keys in the form of modern shows being released constantly.

a electrocized whip dangling from his wrist. Feeling her sense of reality decaying by the

[U.C 0079, June 25th, Akimiski Island, Nunavut]

Silence. For two weeks, the only noise that Lilicia would know is the electronic ding of her cells feeding chute being unlocked and the near instantaneous filtering of her waste tube. Her own voice would be lost to the maddening silence of her prison, its sound causing an instinctive panic in Lilicia upon hearing it. The unannounced absence of Lea initially would fill Lilicia with a sense of relief...only for a looming sense of paranoia to fester within her, followed by unwanted feelings of separation. It was...just like how life was before the colony fell-

*THUMP* *BANG-BANG*

...Had her mind been playing tricks on her again? The facility she and her captured comrades had been hauled off to was designed to be completely sound proofed within their cells. No matter how much she clawed at the padded walls of her cell or huddled herself against the only exit from the room, the only sound she was graced with was what Lea allowed her, and the sound of her-

*CRASH* *BANG-BANG-BANG*...*SCREECH*

The familiar, yet undesired noises assaulting Lilicia's ears would cause her wrap her beds pillow over her ears, desperate to escape its oppressive reminder of what was waiting outside of the room she had been confined to for-

>Menul: All that matters is that we have dealt a blow to Zeon. A bruise that we will continue to strike, until we have reached the very heart of their rancid corruption and evil. First the jewel of this land, then the Earth...and finally we will be the ones to push back to Side 3 itself. That is the destiny of we who carry the true aspiration of the Federation.

Stumbling to her feet, Lilicia slowly shuffles out from her cell, her eyes adjusting the the flickering darkness outside of it. Watching as another survivor of the ambush is helped out from his cell, Lilicia immediately feels a sense of unity from her comrades expression of humiliation. Little by little, more of the detained soldiers stumble out from their cells, most of them appearing paranoid and erratic around their rescuers, and yet completely open to their fellow prisoners. Only two of the prisoners refuse to leave their cells, sealing themselves back within the sensory depriving room that had held them for months. One of the deprived soldiers approaches Lilicia, planting his head to hers without reservation. Feeling no shame or hesitation, Lilicia mirrors the motion, as the other prisoners form around them, silently comforting one another.
