    No. He said "Hit me! Do it! Come on! Yeah, more!" Then when D grabbed his neck and pinned him to the ground, Starscream shouted, "Is that all you got, rustbucket?" But then D began to squeeze his neck and Starscream, realizing he'd gone too far, said "No! Wait! Come on!" with an alarmed look on...

    Remember the scene in The Dark Knight where Batman was on his Bat-Pod and Joker was egging him on to run him over with it? Joker was going "Come on, hit me! Hit me!" He was goading Batman, daring him to do it. That's what Starscream was doing, goading D-16, egging him on to prove himself a real...

    Really Useful: A Thomas the Tank Engine thread

    On this day, October 9, forty years ago in 1984, the British children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends made its world premiere in the United Kingdom. To celebrate this 40th anniversary occasion, Nic "The Unlucky Tug" Goodrich has shared his personal story as a lifelong fan...

    Or maybe the '86 movie should have had Hot Rod jump in between Optimus and Megatron and take a shot meant for Optimus by Megatron, thus 80s kids wouldn't have blamed him as much for "getting Optimus killed". ;)

    Here's a well-done analysis of B-127's special brand of humor in this movie:

    The whole thing was done just so they could make a joke about how silly Chris Latta's screechy Starscream voice always sounded. And, let's not kid ourselves, here. Chris Latta's Starscream voice was very silly. We fans just give it a pass because of how iconic it is. But at the end of the day...

    After watching both the most recent Transformers: The Basics video (on Orion Pax), and this video from TJOmega: ...I realized something about this movie's depiction of Orion Pax: He's basically what the 1986 movie tried and wanted to do with Hot Rod (but the backlash to Optimus's death forced...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    You know, that might have been a factor in why the first trailer was so joke-heavy. To show concerned parents that "This ain't your Bay's Transformers."

    Our heroes and the High Guard getting ambushed by Airachnid's forces wasn't a random plot convenience, it was set up earlier. In the scene where Sentinel meets with the Quintessons, they are watched from afar by Orion & Friends, who made some small noise and movement that were sensed by...

    DiCFormers: Less Than Meets The Eye?

    You left out the greatest DiC cartoon ever: Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? ;) It's difficult to say since DiC had worked with a number of different voice actor talent pools for their various shows. DiC was known for using Canadian VAs from Toronto or Vancouver, but sometimes also used Los...

    Oh, for sure. But while this movie sees him taking initiative and wanting more out of life (basically like a Disney Renaissance-era protagonist), I never got the impression he wanted to take over and become an authority figure. He wanted recognition and better opportunities, yes, but was still...

    The idea of Orion being the thrill-seeking rule-breaker and D-16 being a stickler for the rules somehow just works so much better than what Exodus established with Orion being a rule-follower who has his eyes opened to the possibility of change by Megatron already being a violent radical who...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    We got to see the intricacies of every transformation and combination, and how updated they are from the original toys. That is cool. *wavy hand gesture* There's kind of a loooooong story behind that, but the exact reason why Evan switched from using they/them in the first half of the video to...
