I think it's mostly money.
It's tough to redo a relatively modern line without it. All the updates to older properties are one thing, and the G1ification of Prime and Animated is doing something different. But WfC is just not that long ago, and the original figures were decent. Throw in today's...
I could definitely go for a G1-with-knees (G1WK?) subline. Optimus is an easy start since he was already one of the most articulated. But Soundwave with knees that bend the right way, Seekers with knees and elbows? Heck yeah!
It does make it sadder that we'll never get gun Megs again though.
Yeah and cartoon kids tend to be more obnoxious really - because they're frequently only written that way and there's no correction for their behavior. You can write "real" kids that aren't irritating all the time, but that level of characterization is usually missing. For every Ahsoka who you...
I always said TFP had some of the best characters to date, in some of the most boring situations. With the exception of Prime himself, nearly everyone was fantastic in that show.
100% chance of Cloudcover today!
I do wish they'd dust off the other Conehead versions for some of these though - just makes me want Nacelle-from-Thrust even more.
Just using perspective, a "standard parking orbit" in TOS is usually pretty far out - well beyond the low-Earth-orbit used by the ISS or something.
If you consider the original Enterprise was only about 1000' long (or roughly the same size as the aircraft carrier Enterprise), for it to appear...
Glad I waited to just watch this on Paramount+; it wasn't really worth a theater ticket. Not bad, not good, just was. I'll never understand why they can't just let the Transformers be the main characters of their own movies.
Scarlett may have had the color palette, but her uniform has been modernized so far. But the Dragonfly is coming with Glenda which has a new mold that is very much the original V1 Scarlett outfit (which is what Glenda was originally repainted from).
I assume a retro Duke will be a similar retro...
