    Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    Which was also a Hasbro-initiated MP instead of a Takara one, since you just know that Takara would have simply made it a solid neon green figure at the time.

    To be fair, it's not like the normal-colored Velocitron Crasher toy has really seen that wide of a release so far either. ;)

    Which was used for Shattered Glass Crasher. ;)

    So if Legacy Leo Prime is Nina, then this would make Studio Series Freezer "Daddy?"

    Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    It would have basically been like "The Gathering" but instead set after the final episode and with the show cast coming back to Earth and interacting with the non-show characters. Simon Furman put up the script for the unproduced first issue of Shell Game and it continued right after the events...

    Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    When Seasons 2 and 3 of the American BW cartoon were held back from being dubbed in Japan until later (since there weren't enough episodes in Season 2 alone to run for a full year in Japan), Beast Wars Second and Neo were created to fill in the gap during the wait. But, both were going off the...

    That was also a retcon, made decades later, based on the naming scheme of Lio Convoy and Lio Junior. The original implication in Beast Wars Neo and Car Robots was that all Cybertronian Transformers were born into the world by their creator-god Vector Sigma (protoforms and stasis pods like in the...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    You know what makes him even more hardcore? The fact that he's voiced by Steve Blum!

    Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    The one thing people in the Western fandom seem to overlook is that the name "Rodimus Convoy" is actually the exception to the norm of literally every other character to have the word "Convoy" in their name. As in "Convoy" isn't a suffix added to the characters' first name, it is the first...

    On the subject of Sonic comics, here's a fascinating look at a forgotten piece of Sonic robot lore:

    But it's the Japanese character that the Legacy toy represents. They just couldn't legally use the Japanese name for trademark reasons.

    Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    Well, then how do you explain all of the other guys with Optimus Prime's head and other Matrices in their chests running aorund at the same time as Lio Convoy?

    But you yourself just stated that it's not the Matrix of Leadership he has but instead just an Energon Matrix.

    Heh, I just picked up a loose complete Universe Nemesis Prime at last year's BotCon. For reasonably cheap, too.

    Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    And how would that be done when there is no sign of the Matrix of Leadership anywhere during the Beast Era?

    Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    The Siege Seekers were an attempt to directly replicate the Tetrajets as seen in the cartoon. They even had their cartoon robot modes with the fake F-15 parts.

    Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    Well, let me ask you this. What exactly does it mean to be a Prime in the Beast Era age of the Maximals and Predacons, which is a point in time when individuals like Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime no longer exist, and the factions are instead headed by government councils instead of Matrix of...

    Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    The only thing they're doing differently is not covering Bee and Jazz in gratuitous greeble and battle damage. The design philosophy is still the same.
