    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion 10/27 Update: First look at Megatronus the Fallen

    But they weren't inconsequential aspects. Those suffixes were part of an organizational pattern that made it easier for kids to remember and keep track of all their various Transformers toy groups. It was one of the many carefully coordinated nuances that made Transformers stand out among all...

    That's probably the most positive reaction anyone has ever given it, as the majority reaction from those who read it at the convention (myself included) was "...But why, though?" Most were expecting a Transformers comic (or at least the third chapter of the BeastBox storyline from the last two...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion 10/27 Update: First look at Megatronus the Fallen

    The discourse from back then that I brought up was over the use of the Decepticon-leaning "-Con" suffix for a faction that was supposed to be neither Decepticon nor Autobot, ignoring the longstanding tradition of "-Con" denoting Decepticon-aligned and "-Bot" denoting Autobot-aligned. It then...

    Heck, just look at this year's BotCon convention comic. The story was a steampunk parody of Steamboat Willie (starring clockwork versions of the characters, notably "Mechy Mouse") with a bunch of past BotCon exclusives making background cameo appearances in their vehicle and beast modes. Pretty...

    He told me himself at BotCon: He had little love or regard for G1 and the traditions it established for the brand.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion 10/27 Update: First look at Megatronus the Fallen

    I remember back when the name "Mini-Con" was first unveiled, and Aaron Archer legit did not understand the discourse over the use of "-Con" in the name, since that suffix traditionally denotes something Decepticon-affiliated, when the little guys were supposed to be a neutral third party. IMHO...

    Regarding Sky Lynx, I see everyone praise him as one of the best Commander class figures, but I... just don't get it. I have him, but mine just doesn't hold together. At all. The shuttle and base just do not want to stay connected in either vehicle or dino bird mode. The connector towards the...

    And that's if said rightsholder was even aware of either their ownership of the show or Hasbro's usages of those clips and that pic in those two non-profit instances 11 years apart from each other.

    And the most Hasbro has actually done with the RiD 2001 cartoon itself since its original broadcast is use audio-less clips from various episodes for Sky-Byte's Hall of Fame 2012 nominee music video (save for the final clip in the video which did use the dub audio of Sky-Byte singing from the...

    Not to mention the fact that Hasbro never even bothered to get back the rights to the 2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon from Disney. If they aren't gonna bother with something like a mainstream series that was the face of the Transformers brand for its time, chances are even less likely that they...

    Little does Sentinel realize that he has positioned himself so precisely for D-16 to sneak attack his family jewels.

    Most of them are also human or otherwise not Transformers or even robots, and so wouldn't warrant getting toys anyway.

    What's even funnier is that the one semi-mainstream TF series that actually used Sector Seven outside of the movieverse was, of all things, the BotBots cartoon. Unit:E (A.K.A. Rik Alvarez's baby that barely was)

    What he ought to have been is something like the "Predacon Emperor". His beast mode face is literally the insignia of the whole faction.

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    It more than likely will be 8 more episodes as both the "finales" for "Season 2" and "Season 3" felt like big climaxes but not proper conclusions like how Season 1's finale did. I get the feeling we'll see more of Shockwave as Decepticon leader in the next episode batch as the race episode...
