One reason I have RotB so low is that it felt like a regression.
Bumblebee was great, and though RotB had a different director everything about it following from Bumblebee gave me hope that it would follow its direction.
Instead we got some of the worst aspects of the Bay films returning...
Some ideas I've had for a neo-G1 continuity/show/whatever.
Start with a huge battle on Cybertron. Sentinel Prime and Megatron are fighting on an elevated platform akin to Optimus and Megs fighting on the damn.
I'd crib dialogue from their fight in Megatron: Origins because it's that damn...
Against my better judgement... some ideas I've been toying with in my own head. If KingSwoop doesn't like them then nuts to him...

I loved how the Titanium mould incorporated the camper into his robot mode. I'd love to see that concept played with. Not just doing what the Ti version did but see what else you can do?
I get that they probably wanted a trailer battle station to mimic Optimus. It's not a bad idea, but I'd...
Someone once joked to me that "Rodimus Prime" sounds like a Transformers porn name and it's like... yeah.
I think it's too late to change that, he's Rodimus for better or worse.... but if we're talking about what could have been changed in 1986... Excellion Prime? Pyro Prime? Ignitrus Prime? I...
More stuff that could have helped Rodimus.
Give him a more unique design once he becomes a Prime. Hot Rod and Rodimus just look too similar and it may be hard to sell the idea that he's become Optimus' successor if he still looks like Hot Rod to a kid. Kids aren't stupid necessarily (well some...
Quintessa brainwashes Optimus into being "Nemesis Prime" and he shows up for the big climatic battle and gets the upper hand on Bumblebee.
Bumblebee is at Nemesis' mercy when he finally gets his voice back and says something like "I'm Bumblebee your oldest friend" and that snaps Nemesis Optimus...
G1 season two featured Warpath, Powerglide, the Arielbots, and Jetfire on the Autobot side and the Stunticons on the Decepticon side. The "Autobots are civilians vehicles and the Decepticons are military hardware" divide didn't even make it to the 1986 movie.
And really it didn't make much...
Bumblebee has a lot going for it. It's a sweet movie. It tells a simple, straightforward story well. It hits all the right notes, the characters are shockingly relatable and likeable. I don't think this would have made Transformers a billion dollar franchise if we got it in 2007, but I also...
TF movie rankings because why not? Star Wars nerds love to do this and we're not as bad as them!

Really once you get below RotB it's all pretty bad.
Also TLK has a lot of cool designs, music, and concepts, and part of me wants to put it above...
I've been aware of the AllSpark since 2000 or so, and I used to check it for news all the time. I didn't join until 2016 though.
My longtime online TF board (TFINO) finally shut down, and the discourse at TFW2005 was getting more and more toxic so... I jumped over here.
This place is nice...
I don't know if they'll make Nexus' torso a Commander class or if they'll just release Nexus as a five bot gift set ala toy colours Menasor but... I'm fairly confident he's happening. They'll get all thirteen of the... Thirteen... done before it's all over.
