Translation is a thing that exists. I don't mind the names that essentially streamline the translations (Heavy Armor Vanguard becoming Aeegis Vanguard). And hell, prior to the renaming, the wiki was running perfectly fine calling assorted Microns Filter, Trigger, Saber, and more. If they get...

I'm having fun here because if I actually pay attention to what's going on (not this, just... in general) I might just burst into flames.

Well, there's always the nagging feeling that these c-suites haven't of late shown much of the ability to see past a big enough dollar sign, and that's this dipshit's only playing card. But yeah, this is just more bluster. Can tell by how the tweet in question was set up by one of the usual...

I kid you not, this is one of the pluses that genius fans are going to point to. "Yeah! Now there can be a Cybertruck Transformer!" as if (1) anyone outside of Musk simps want that and (2) this were the only way to get one even if people did want one.

Idk. That doesn't really take away the "message board thread about renaming characters" vibe to it all. Like, they HAVE names, albeit ones that came from a non-Western context, let that be that.

No, see it's a tragic noble sacrifice, it's DEEP and MATURE and totally not for babies I'm a grown-up, mom

It's funny all this Thirteen business, because a thieteen-year-old would indeed find that "epic"

He certainly wasn't. What was originally a cute marketing bit that gave us such gems as "yes, she is a girl" quickly and irreversibly turned into a cluster of people racing to out-"mom said I could stamp my idea as canon next" the others.

The only stupider thing I'm going to hear today are idiots rejoicing over this because mUh wOkE and LOL hASbRo fLopS, like the Cybertruck and Twitter burning to the ground have been such stellar business moves.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply interest. That was more of a "don't know, don't think it's relevant to my own point right now". Thanks, I may have time and inclination to check these down the line, but at the moment, no thank you.

While I totally get that and maybe there's a way to reconcile the two, I'd rather just get one that's straight up Cybertron Soundwave. Maybe with Earthspark Soundwave's head and/or chest panel detailing. Maybe even a way for the wings to fold down lower akin to the Earthspark one-step's cape...

The 13th Prime should be "Eugene from Hey Arnold" levels of unlucky.

I think it was just one of those that was fiddly and needed to have some parts lined up just so, or in a non-obvious way, for the top of the altmode to form right. Some movie stuff would have bits like this, some Beast era stuff did too. That was always the issue I had with mine, although that...

Weibo user @NOTRAB has shared new in-hand pics of the upcoming Studio Series Hatchet figure. This long-delayed Deluxe class figure is finally seeing the light of day soon, and mercifully not in a box set. It may be safe to say that while the Autobots may be dread-ing this new arrival...

Yeah, I think I've said as much but about Ask Vector Prime in general (as opposed to this specifically) in that other thread. I'll just shrug and drop it. It'd be fun if Age of the Primes would have the thirteen, but also have more Primes than that, and make it part of what little lore it has...

Should have been named, weren't, took it upon himself to do so. Just one of the many things he "gamed the system" to canonize. I don't recall all the others, so I can't really weigh in on what's least objectionable to worst, but it's all one soup to me. I was mainly picking up on unluckiness'...

I mean, it was One Guy's Ask Vector Prime, loaded with "answers" on varying layers that then had people swept up in the rush of adding to the wiki. I loved the actual Animated lore that those built, and fiercely admired how much nerdy crap he crammed in there, but soured very quickly on all...

Give me that Sunbow Mooks capsule featuring Rodimus Snarl, Onslaught Seeker, Silverbolt Seeker, AKOM Hot Rod, Constructicon Shockwaves...

Ehh. THOSE Primes are trucks.

As nice as the Alpha Trizer colors look on the Thundertron body -- and as much as I still am waiting for a color scheme I like better on Legacy Thundertron -- I'd prefer Alpha Trion as a Vector Prime retool. I'm actually still a bit thrown by Prima being a wheeled vehicle. Rather that also be a...
