It's a bit awkward to write it given there are sentient species involved, but in terms of life span alone it's akin to losing a pet. That's a very gutting experience and hard to package for the usual types of media.

I'm with you on the other storytelling benefits of having a smaller partner in that sense. The aiming thing, I'm still iffy on. In order for that benefit to really be demonstrable, you'd have to show (say) Targetmaster Autobots whose onboard weapons hit targets in altmode with regular ones...

Yeah, them too :)

I mean, distinctive colors only go so far. No amount of color scheme is going to make a humanoid or a longnose cab evocative of a mechanical bipedal dragon thing. Maybe if they painted the longnose hood to look like Mechagodzilla's snout, the windows glowing eyes... I think things might have...

Seems par for the course with Rebirth really. Although I do recall one moment where Brainstorm is fighting and/or panicking and Arcana thinks to scan the Nebulan that Brainstorm has grabbed a hold of. To this day one of the best things about it is just Peter Cullen's sheer exasperated (and the...

I do like the angle of a rogue Quintus creation trying like hell to kill Unicron before he... Regenerates or whatever. Maybe she was a primary creation, the sole survivor of Quintus' first planet that was devoured by Unicron. She takes the planet's name and a measure of his power somehow...

I... don't think I want to validate that. Like, I get feeling resigned to it, but "it's the stereotype, what ya gonna do" doesn't sit well.

I'm not particularly champing at the bit to see that sort of thing, because then Transformers basically turns into... "every piloted mecha show ever". Fan-gasms over crossovers aside, it just loses something when the unique hook becomes something various others can approximate. This may be why...

Be interesting if Quintessa was, Quintus' first creation, and who the planet was named for. (Do we see her actually creating life at any point in TLK?) One thing I'd like to see more done with is the Emberstone. It might be interesting to explore the interactions between, and boundaries for...

For stuff like that I'd like something akin to the Energon Omega Supreme "solution", which is a sort of mini-head for the Cybertronian bulk to have. Would look silly though. That's the trouble with the mental linking, is that some functionality almost has to be reduced on the part of the...

Well, now I feel like a perv for bringing it up, lol Edit: for context, I've always understood this as a shared "I understood that reference". The perv/porn thing usually pops up without regard for the actual subject matter being discussed -- someone will make a comparison or namedrop a...

I may have been thinking of the recent one, charcoal body + accent color. In this case the claws and toes would probably also be painted over in charcoal? But that one looks gorgeous still.

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see that expression not be about porn.

For real, bring it back and give it the luminous blue or pink deco on the back spikes and jagged lines.

I get the sense you're going to have the same conversation over and over, just with some words switched out like Mad Libs. This is basically it, that's the thread. Megatron's characterization, the roles of Primus and Unicron, etc. I mean, it IS their personal canon, fair enough, and the intent...

Unless "Bayverse version of Quintus" stops at "life-creating/manipulating subdeity" or something; i.e., not a Prime specifically. Her being a deceiver can manifest in many different ways. (I'm more trying to get a handle on the character and concept for use elsewhere, and a bit less trying to...

I still want to get the Bison-Vega/Ryu 2-pack if I can find it at a decent price. Those four were very cool redecos (even if Ken/Hot Rod was 88% the same colors) and made me want more.

About as much as my remote work looks like work, which... it'll do! I mean yeah, it'd be nice to get an even further tweaked SS86 Arcee (or an all-new mold, sure) that has the Headmaster functionality (there IS an open seat there). But this was a pretty neat release. OR they could have some...

Cartoon? How dare you. It is an anime. Basically one interesting thing happens with the Quintesson character in Earthrise, and that's about it. I remember so much media from the pandemic/quarantine years with trauma-bonding fondness, but even I can't muster any substantial affection for the...

"New character" is honestly why I'd rather see Grandus sooner than those other two. There will always be a reason to make a Metroplex and a Fortress Maximus.
