And World Events Productions would sue!

Kinda hard to sell toys of the cogless 'bots in the proper Transformers: Studio Series line of transforming robot toys when the whole point of the cogless 'bots is that they can't transform. ;)

"Farm Blazing Fork!"

Searching all over my local Ollie's right now and there is no sign of the Jurassic Park TF set anywhere.

Dangerously cheesy!

According to Alvarez or to the show's actual creators? Cuz the latter have rebutted the former's exaggerations, saying that Prime was not nearly as expensive as Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Plus Michael Dorn, Wil Wheaton, Jason David Frank, Judd Nelson, Victor Caroli, Gregg Berger, Ron Perlman, Samoa Joe, and Peter Cullen likely cost them a pretty penny, too.

Well, this is one of the things I liked about PRID:

FWIW, the first 26-episode season of Beast Wars by itself cost $18 million in 1996 USD.

Armada's animation was that bad looking because it had an incredibly rushed production. Cartoon Network wanted a certain number of episodes ready to air before the episodes were actually finished being made and ready for broadcast. So the early episodes of Armada were aired before the animation...

Vehicon Mode!

It's a lot like how one could get Kingdom Ultra Magnus for his robot mode and SS86 Commander class Ultra Magnus for his vehicle mode, since he's a size-changer too.

We also need a Fire Guts Victory Saber:

"Let's see, we got some Milk, Cola, Purple Stuff, OH, SUNNY D!"

It's not just that, but his defeatist attitude about how weak he and his team are and how inevitable it is that Shockwave and the Decepticons are gonna beat them in the long run, requiring Kup to perk him up with a pep talk that still doesn't seem to cure Rodimus's doubts.

You know, I think I realized the true issue back then. It's not that Rodimus should have been written more like how Optimus was written before him, it's that Optimus should have been written more like how Rodimus would be written later. :p

Counterargument: Rodimus also had Sky Lynx.

And then he immediately got all emo about that right after, yelling at his fellow Autobots and practically calling himself a failure: But then, the first time we see him in "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1", before he hears anything about Optimus's body having been recovered, he's seen...

Season 3 also wasn't very kind to Rodimus in how he was written in comparison to how Optimus was written in Seasons 1 and 2. For the latter, Optimus had this "Cool Dad Action Hero" vibe where he was confident and heroic and got to go on these cool adventures all the time, charging forward and...

Joe Besser-esque whiny voice: "But I want Ooooptimuuuuus to be the special Chooooosen Ooooone! He deserrrrrrves iiiiiiiiiiit! More that Rodimuuuuuus! Rodimus suuuuuucks! He's a puuuuuuunk! He doesn't deseeeerrrve to be the Chosen Ooooone! He killed Optimuuuuuus! Optimus is...
