While Hasbro is trying to make do with a couple of mediocre cartoons, in Japan so far there is nothing going on for Takara after Wild King?
Takara's kids lines usually go on to release 2~3 waves of repaints/redecos, for about year after their show ends.
>>23710916Non-related, but I like it when they get to have different eyes colors no matter the factions.Hell, IIRC, the blue=Autobots and red=Decepticons was for convenience.
TRIGGER transformers when?
>>23711200nevah!!!! moar 1984 wanking instead
>>23711200When Energon Universe is far advanced enough to do so.
>>23711200I would cum.
>>23711200Hope it's not G1 adjacent, but something new like the Unicron Trilogy reimagining.
>>23713301>Glug! Glug! Glug!
>>23716490Nah, screw the unicron trilogy.
>>23716694TF Prime is cool. But I prefer the super robot aesthetics where the show model doesn't cheat how it transform.
>>23716721Armadafags ladies and gentleman, if people want that shit they would watch garbage like gao gay gar
>>23716721>>23716738Nta, I enjoy GGG, but RID is a much better Transformers show that has a better Super Robot aesthetic and less QUAILTY animation.
>>23716749Car Robots, Micron Legend, Superlink and Galaxy Force all have cool robot designs.The appeal of super robot to me is the robot gets new power up combinations through out the series.I would say TF Go is amazing too, but the model doesn't translate well to the toy.
>>23716754The toys are cool, but the show itself is not so much, imo. It's pretty cool that we're in an age where we're seeing a bunch of updated toys for Japanese Transformers.
>>23716761I may be the minority, I didn't really finished any shows. I'm more interested in the toys.I actually prefer the Legends Star Convoy because I absolutely love combining robot even though the new one have better proportions.
>>23713301Speaking of Energon Universe, what are /m/s thoughts of Arcee Magnus? Not sure how necessary making her a leader is, but at least she's not replacing Prime. Interested on what her Toy will look like in the near future.
>>23716773
>>23716776
>>23716776Thundercracker's face in the previous panel is funnyAlso Brawn is literally the Autobot Dwarf
>>23716781He's still awkward being part of the Autobots, so I can't blame him. And Brawn has always been an Autobot Dwarf, both in height and personality.
>>23716787>THIS IS GOING TO THE SLAGGING DATASLATE!
>>23716721>where the show model doesn't cheat how it transformNah, screw that. Just think of them as Getter Robos.
>>23716859Of course you are one of those.
>>23716694robopits...
>>23713301Is he okay?
>>23723242No.
>>23716490It'll be beast wars adjacent.
What are your feelings about robot cannibalism?
>>23727302Going beyond Instruments of Destruction.
>>23710916I can't seem to find a good batch download for some of the seriesMissing some like RID/Car Robots, RID (2014) and Cyberverse stuff
>>23716770To be extremely honest, I just wish that mold became Super Ginrai instead of a cheap excuse for a Star Convoy made to scale with a proper Super Megatron toy. Well, if Hasbro and Takara Tomy says they want an all-original redo of Super Megatron to match up with Star Convoy... Okay.But the real thing I want right now are newer versions of the Autobot Headmaster Juniors. Complete with working Titan Master gimmicks.
>>23716787are those 3d printed?
>>23728939Definitely 3D printed. You can see the layer lines everywhere.
So what is he supposed to be? A commercial full truck of the future?
>>23729482>So what is he supposed to be? A commercial full truck of the future?Just "futuristic truck." Try not to think about it too much.
>>23727302>>23713301I can't tell if Skywarp is into it.
For me, it's Cy-Kill
>>23729482>>23729490>It's like a Winnebago with wings!"
>>23729482>>23729490A hot rod hitches up to a truck, and after some time on the road, pulls into a trucker station. Another truck driver asks him why he's pulling a truck with such a sporty vehicle. The hot rod replies, because I HAVE THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP AND I WILL DO WHAT I LIKE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G----6NcPqwMPG-17
>>23729532Wait, Optimus actually became a space winnebago? Cinema.
>>23729482A lot of people point to Citroen Loadrunners (which were literally cars rebuilt into trucks) or stuff like the GM Bison.
>>23730704These things are kind of fascinating. The base cars had the right kind of suspension to support the extended chassis so they made great high speed delivery vehicles.
>>23716749>but RID is a much better Transformers show that has a better Super Robot aesthetic easy explanation for that is that Car robots was a 100% Japanese production where as Armada was co designed with Hasbro din initial designs that Takara refined. But were still beholen to American sensibilities.The only American influence on Car Robots was the Destrongers using the US codesigned Transmetal 2 aesthetic and likely Black Convoy/ Spychangers since they were originally made for toys intended for the US market.
>>23730704This remind me, they actually had a bigger Rodimus Prime in prod, but it never came out. I wonder if it would still have the goofy legs sticking out of the cab.
>>23730704>Citroen LoadrunnersHmm
>>23733463Cars carrying cars.
>>23716773She looks okay aside from the oversized backpack binders.
>>23733961I can't believe Michael Bay was the one who introduced thousands of Americans to Super Robot upgrades.
>>23734449I have a big softspot for Jetpower Optimus. Optimus Prime + flight pack has always yielded a great sillhouette.
>>23734449Wat. Power Rangers did it in the early 90s.
>>23735295That's baby shit for babies and gay people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gts_XYqJAvgOvergear trailer.
>>23739288>Armored Core Blackout
>>23739288>>23739329Fucking finally.
>>23739329They kinda looks Armada likes. However, considering how cheap looking it looks, its probably yet another mobile game.
>>23739716Oh nevermind, its a ad for the toys.
>>23739716Design wise looks great. But the 3D models they use in that animation definitely looks less polished, unlike the Diaclone animation.
>>23739781Its interesting they went with Energon Ironhide. I think he was even talking to Kicker too.Blackout being angular makes me think of the Decepticons' designs in WfC/FoC
>>23716773I don't know how much it matters. Ultra Magnus is still Ultra Magnus. I'm curious to see if the comic delivers the white Convoy iteration of Magnus as a byproduct of this at some point, though.
>>23716738Not an armada fag but a Galaxy Force/Cybertron fag. Animated and Beast Wars are also better then prime
>>23739288Kino.
>humans
>>23727302new skybound incoming and I want to know their real thoughtsI remember it being a plot in IDW that was outright ignored. Their blood was both a drug and sustenance for each other. Drift was an addict to it and whored out to keep getting it. And as Starscream lead the decepticons, they started cannibalizing because they had no energon. But neither of these were touched on like they mattered. They were just a thing that happened and then never got brought up ever againThe only cannibal I think that had any presence was Sunder who ate memories but that's more eldritch than body part
>>23745158This is kinda differents since Megatron is outright eating the spark of Trailbreaker, as in his essence.Since the spark is both an heart and a soul, Megatron is doing some pagan ritual here.
>>23728851Still pinging thisDo we truly just not fucking have good 720 or above rips of Unicron Trilogy, RID (2014)/Adventure or Cyberverse?
>>23747450Use Stasher and download them off youtube. They're HD and complete.
so what did you think?
You know, if Overgear use Energon as a basis, maybe we'll finally see Rodimus as a Darkar Rally Truck.>>23747819Good. But honestly, its all so inferior to DWJ's Transformers, its not even funny.
>>23716490this would be ideal. I loved the UT's toy gimmicks. With modern engineering they could definitely cook up something cool.
Found Rodimus Prime. Dude was drunk. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47200-vw-launches-twin-steer-6x2-rigid-for-beverage-industry/
>>23748022Also, I learned that the configuration with four wheels on the front and two wheels on the rear is called chinese six. The more you know.

>>23730879>Armada was co designed with Hasbro din initial designs that Takara refined. But were still beholen to American sensibilities.It was still like all Takara with Aaron Archer being sent to Japan to draft up designs. >>23735295Well he introduced it to Hollywood. I think its the only instance of a mecha style mid series upgrade being introduced in a Hollywood movie ala Japanese G1, Brave, Sentai, Eldran, etc.
>>23751261Technically, Del Toro did it with Gipsy Danger's sword being a secret weapon.
>>23751417I mean like a robot being introduced to combine with the main robot.
>>23713301Do you think he'll turn to a sparkeater? They do look kinda like his Bayverse design, who is apparently a cannibal.
>>23748022You sure that's the right one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyHjqW78vhE
>>23751894I was referring to Geewun Rodimus Prime.
Give us a combiner of the Seekers already.
>>23713301This spin off is a bit retarded, Transformers need a better reboot
>>23753479I really want them to do a G1 Season 3 reboot in a near future setting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcBI04lqXPc
>>23753479>>23753634G1 needs a reboot that incorporate the JG1 and fix all the continuity errors. My idea is to introduce a new main character in every seasons, so the original G1 will strip out every fillers to fit in one season.Season 1 staring OptimusSeason 2 staring Rodimus (2010)Season 3 staring Chromedome (Headmaster)Season 4 staring Ginrai (Masterforce)Season 5 staring Star Saber (Victory)Season 6 staring Dai Atlas (Zone)
>>23754083Season 7 starring Primal (BW)Season 8 starring Lio Convoy (BWII)Season 9 starring Big Convoy (BW Neo)Season 10 starring Fire Convoy (Car Robots)-- The End of G1 --
>>23754083>any show>lasting longer than 2 seasons
>>23754064This is awesome.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWM4ruJiW3A
>>23754083Hmm? I'd say the Ginrai arc should delve into the existence of the Thirteen Primes. New Legends is doing their own take on the Thirteen by painting them as evil while Unicron is trying to redeem himself. But if I want to treat the Thirteen truer to the JG1 text, it will come with massive retcons to lots of places (Planet Master will instead be Caminus, where Solus Prime made all of her inventions, and include Master-Braces as among her prized inventions, and the Apex Armor as unfinished tech the Pretenders have to complete).
The best way to handle Hotrod would be to have him part of the cast from the beginning. For all the criticism of Beast Machines, Cheetor's arc wasn't one of them.
>>23753065We've had multiple, though most are only partial seekers.- In a What-If comic issue, Starscream gets upgraded by Unicron instead of Megatron, gaining a new combiner body that can combine with Dirge, Thrust, Astrotrain, and Soundwave.- In the IDW1 comics, humans mass-produce combining Thrust/Ramjet clones.- Also the IDW1 comics, Acid Storm is briefly forced to be a combiner limb with a bunch of other random choices.Toywise, you can ALMOST have a combiner that is all Starscreams: Power of the Primes body, plus ghost, SG, and Golden Lagoon limbs. If you want to stretch the definition, you can throw in limb Thrust, but it's Armada Thrust and not G1 Thrust.
>>23760759
>>23760760
>>23760761
>>23760762
>>23716490Enough nostalgia pandering! Geewunners get fucked! What made transformers great was when I was six years old in the 2003 and Hasbro just name-slapped G1 names on random characters. And Kicker was dope as hell bruh.
>>23760787>And Kicker was dope as hell bruh.gr8 b8
>>23760759>partial>Thrust/Ramjet clones>other random choices>ALMOST...You're kinda listing my complaints with the "seeker combiners" so far. Also, while I don't hate the mass-produced, 5-part, body+limbs combiners I would wish for some more combiner with more than 5 parts or a different approach in their combination.
>>23716490>>23733961>>23735274Honestly I would wish for an Optimus that combines the super modes of Power of the Primes (toy version), Armada and Bayverse.>Orion Pax = Truck-kun>Optimus Prime = Orion Pax + Trailer (similar to Armada's Battle Mode)>Jetpower Optimus = Optimus Prime + Jetfire (similar to the Bayverse one)
>>23751521they didn't really combine though, Jetfire was a corpse. And discarded at the end of the battle. His body was just temporarily welded onto Optimus and then trashed.
>>23760759>>23760815I forgot one: Thundercracker also gets forced into a random combination
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm71vOfMxhY
>>23762482What
Why does G1 Blurr bother with a car mode when he can run fast?
>>23762731what are you confused about?>>23762962hovercar, doesn't have to worry about tripping
>>23763451The combination part?
>>23763576Okay, but WHAT PART of the combination part is confusing you? I can't read your mind, anon.
Gary Chalk just announced his cancer is in remission.
>>23763831Well that actually is prime.
>>23710916>Boomersaur Takara STILL refuses to release that anniversary animated video WITHOUT THE DARKENING AND BLURRING YOU FUCKING CÜCKS
>>23763926>wtf why isn't the corporation putting children in possible harm
>>23763941>DONT ASK QUESTIONS, BELIEVE ITfaggot
>>23763795How are those non seekers making combinations with Thundercracker? Don't you have to do some sort of mojo to do that?
>>23763993You are making up a rule in your head and then getting confused that no one is following your made up rule that only you are thinking about.
>>23763963...what?no one was asking any questions to begin with. and if they were to, we already know the answer.anon do you think the porygon incident is some sort of conspiracy? that's the only thing i can think of that explains your odd response.
Is the Thirteen Primes a biblical reference?I'm a casual fan getting into TF lore and the Thirteen reminds me of the Antediluvians from Vampire: The Masquerade lore, who are also thirteen ancient beings who all modern vampires descend from. They have to both be referencing/inspired by something right?
>>23764320iirc the concept started with Aligned and it's that number to hide the fact that Optimus is the thirteenth in the novel.
>>23764213>doesn't answer the question and is smug insteadThe point of the question is that I'm pretty sure you can't just force any transformer to combine with each other.
>>23764384Then why didn't you state that point from the beginning? Or the multiple times you were asked what you were actually confused about?And yes, that's literally what's happening. Galvatron's using a knockoff Enigma of Combination to force random Transformers to combine and fight for him. These comics were released around time that the Combiner Wars toys were on shelves, which used the classic Scramble City-style "just slap whatever limb-bots you have on there" method of making a combiner.
>>23764384>>23764428And while comic Galvatronus isn't using Cyclonus as the torso-bot, toy Galvatronus/Cyclonus introduced the idea of a combiner forcing random limbs onto him (since the toy is a retooling of a Silverbolt toy and doesn't have a dedicated team of limbs of its own)
>>23764431
>>23764320Just a heads up, you may encounter some discussion about the 13 being "multiversal singularities", supposing to be the same characters, or having the same roster, in every version of Transformers stories. This was a fumbled concept by Hasbro and was later outright retconned. Different Transformers stories can have different 13s with different lores, or even no 13s at all. Same goes for Primus and Unicron.When going about lore, always remember the golden rule of Transformers: It Depends On The Universe.
>>23764231>anon do you think the porygon incident is some sort of conspiracy?There are a lot of people who argue that most of the kids who got hospitalized were just faking it because the TV told them it was bad
>>23764458what, through time travel? those people are stupid
>>23764442Wasn't it something isolated to the funpub TFCC comics? They started with the Primes, Primus and Unicron being multiversal singularities, then by the end their OC donut Nexus Prime broke the Universe and the previous singularities split.
>>23764477no, one side of Hasbro themselves was trying the push the concept while the other side kept making character iterations that didn't line up.

>>23767594An accidental dinobot combiner. I guess that makes it the Bayverse version of Beast.
>>23764442I only really liked the idea of multiversal singularities being specific characters like Vector Prime or Sideways. I'm fine with that being phased out to be honest.
>>23768518btw that turned out to be a mistranslation
