    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    I feel like a lot of that wasn't just the fact that Archer wasn't a big fan of G1, but also that he mostly saw the brand as being for kids above all else and thus was constantly trying to innovate and reboot the brand in order to grab new kid audiences. He seemed to feel that kids of the 2000s...

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

    I think it's meant to be a triple joke about how inconsistent Unicron has been portrayed across his multiple Paramount film appearances, about the enormous (almost absurd) amount of character cameos in the race clip, and a jab at how Lorenzo keeps saying things to try and make all of the movies...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Replaced by Springer. (Probably because the story was set at a time when Sentinel was supposed to be long dead for eons)

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Sadly yes, but primarily because of how misused, misunderstood, and misinterpreted it was, with people constantly asking the Ask Vector Prime Facebook what universe XYZ character was from, in an attempt to net more stream designations, when that wasn't how the system was supposed to work at all...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    From watching the Hasbro Pulse livestreams and reading designer commentaries posted to Instagram, I get the feeling that the likes of Evan, Mark, and BMac seem to understand the fandom's interpretation of character and continuity better than most other Hasbro higher ups, as they have referenced...

    Reasons why Grandus should be the next titan

    Well, as the old saying goes, "You're as old as your tongue... but a little older than your teeth." :p Or rather, "You're only as old as you feel inside..." ;)

    Reasons why Grandus should be the next titan

    What CoffeeHorse said checks out. The youngest Animated fans who were 4 years old in 2007 are now 21 years old in 2024.

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    And with Rescue Bots's four seasons taking place concurrent to all three seasons of Prime and the first season of RID 2015, its depiction of Optimus and Bumblebee meant that the bodies they had in all three shows were actually the same body just viewed through a different lens. In other words...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Having gotten to speak to Aaron Archer earlier this year at BotCon, I found out the real-world reason why it was so easy for us fans to use continuity families before Aligned came along. We already knew that, back then, Archer was basically the guy in charge of Transformers at Hasbro, and that...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Pfft, amateurs. Give me an "Alpha Lion"! Before they opted with Beast Machines Snarl, the original Lio Convoy mold was 3H's first consideration.
