My Missing Link C-1 Optimus with Trailer arrived from Pulse today.
The pictures don't do it justice. I got Optimus for Christmas 1984 from my Grandmother and it's so weird to have a brand new version of that where the Optimus is just magically super poseable. It really is a magic trick that it...
Well sparks are soul analogues not brain analogues so it would suggest more that they are not Primus-Born Transformers but there's no reason they couldn't be Sentient or Sapient.
-ZacWilliam, Humans ain't got Sparks either.
All the Carnivac talk got me thinking I would take a Catilla remold from Legacy Thundertron. It would need a new cat head for sabertooth likeness and a new bot head but otherwise I'd be cool with it.
-ZacWilliam, honestly I'll take more pretender characters however I can get them.
I saw that image in the middle of the night and went right past it assuming it was just the original.
-ZacWilliam, Energon and Cybertron are two of the three TF shows I haven't ever got around to watching...
Well... the X-men films had contradictions certainly but they were still WAY more in continuity with each other than most of the TF films.
-ZacWilliam, background and minor character contradictions are fairly overlookable, as opposed to major backstory and plot contridictions.
I cannot imagine any reality where TF: One is not completely and obviously in its own new continuity. They are certainly not going to care one ounce to make it line up with the continuity of anything previous.
-ZacWilliam, Which is fine and good. Let it be it's own thing telling it's own story.
I like them fine in everything except the IDW Shockwave story. That can stay a relic of that universe and never be relevant again:
Other than that they're cool.
I'm a big Mythology and Fantasy reader and fan and also big into the story lore of Transformers so they are absolutely my deal...
So I don't have enough space to show the volume of 40 years of collecting TFs but I can do length. Here's my actual first Transformer, a 1984 gift from my Grandmother and my most recent from 2024:
-ZacWilliam, Brawn has had one arm since this almost 48 year old was in First Grade IIRC.
The Badassitron joke is the only one that didn't work for me... BUT the second part of it where he does an actually pretty funny expression as he repeats it in a weird voice helps mitigate it. And the rest of the jokes are fine. They're amusing and fun more than hilarious but that's fine for a...
Just watched the trailer like twice more.
I stand by my first thoughts: It looks like a lot of fun.
I'm excited for the world-building.
Definitely the sort of thing the brand needs to bring in new kids. I hope there is just a barrage of merch. I want to see bright, fun TF stuff everywhere...
1) That's the rumor/guess
2) It seems to be the design. As with Airachnid it's an interesting choice.
3) Not Tarn. Megatronus. That looks like the remains of the Original 13. likely it is where he gets the Decepticon symbol and his name.
-ZacWilliam, my guess is the Quints killed them and...
The Trailer is a lot of fun.
I'm actually, honestly looking forward to this movie now.
That rocks.
-ZacWilliam, I just wish it was sooner than September.
I'm not sure there is a room in my house big enough for that.
I have literally 40 years of TFs.
-ZacWilliam, there is also no room in my house clean enough for that, which is an entirely separate problem.
I like the thickness and the overall design decently for a Cybertronian Prime.
Oh and the package has leaked online, this is Studio Series.
-ZacWilliam, looking forward to the trailer with curiosity.
With the expense that would entail there's no way at all they would keep it a surprise.
If they were to drop that much cash they'd be announcing that new animation everywhere all the time as loud as they could.
ZacWilliam, they absolutely would not shut up about something like that.
After a couple times missing one factor or the other, tonight available funds and figures in stock finally aligned and I was able to snag a non-core United toy. Grabbed Thundertron at a Target in the last days of the 30% off deal for the price of a Deluxe.
Chase had been my goal but no sign of...
