"I may have let things get out of hand and started an oppressive autocratic empire. Mondays amirite?"

Eh... different strokes I guess. Burton's Megs was more menacing. His pretences of fighting Autobot oppression sounded more like a fascist than a freedom fighter, using populist rhetoric cynically. IDW1 Megs was a genuine freedom fighter who fell into the trap of authoritarianism and the...

I feel like ES Megatron is the only Megatron voice that works for IDW1 Megs.

I think it was a couple of things... they reworked the Titan price point that made potentially doing one of their HasLab concepts at mass retail viable, and the runaway success of HasLab RiD Optimus proved that the public really loves it some Optimi.

Me trying to get as many shots in before it gets dark to take advantage of the natural light...

I'm not even saying he needs to be called The Last Autobot, if they really wanted to keep the Thirteen unaffiliated with the contemporary 'bot and 'con factions (though various depictions of Megatronus really call that assumption into question) but taking the character and slapping a new name on...

I don't see Hasbro rushing to push Zoids onto Western toy shelves, do you?

Now granted my Marvel G1 knowledge is pretty base level but... wasn't The Last Autobot fairly significant in the Marvel G1 lore? Like ok Logos I can understand, he was from a niche Japanese piece that hadn't even been fully translated into English. But surely Aaron Archer and Rik Alvarez (head...

I agree with that. Which means that the Thirteenth could be... anyone. Rik's assertion hints that the people behind Aligned/the Covenant felt someone special had to be #13 but... why? Make Prima the Big Damn Hero and make #13 just... someone else. Easy. It sounds like Optimus being made the...

As someone who studied medieval history and really digs Arthur's mythos... I'd have dug it.

FFS Rik... "Hey guys! This is Awesomus Prime, the thirteenth and Primus' most favourite and bestest boy! He vanished while fighting Unicron/Devil Z/Dracula/the Zodiac Killer and some say he'll return one day when Cybertron needs him most." Right there you basically have just done Optimus'...

I'm imagining Megatron standing off to the side with the biggest troll face in the world. I see you too are a man of culture. The whole video is full of terms that sound like they're only there because Hasbro's copyright lawyer went Christmas tree over the script. When I was a young-in and...

Also "Transformers bots"

I think older collectors (30 and up) need to get out of their own head space. Some of us still have Classics '06 Optimus as our collection's Optimus because they like him that much and nothing since has really compelled them. So every take on G1 Optimus since is like... enough, enough. But...
