G1 Transformers Size, Power, and Mass

[ooo-baby]

Sixknight seems familiar. He’s a cooler version of Sixshot. He took out an aircraft carrier with one shot. Not sure if he could do that to G1 Broadside. Masterforce has no respect for human life; the Destrons just kill indiscriminately.

God Ginrai defeating Sixknight shows that Powermaster Optimus Prime is the most powerful Transformer.

The Commandos seem like a somewhat competent team of Decepticons. I liked RID 2001 because they got quite a bit of screen time. Their combined form Ruination in this cartoon is actually toy-accurate:

(cued to 9:01)

The reason I like the G1 Marvel Comics better than IDW is because IDW de-powered everybody. The G1 Marvel Comics, for example, made G1 Galvatron the strongest and most powerful Decepticon, even above the gestalts:

Marvel G1 Galvatron did not need Thunderwing, unlike in IDW.

I love how they used toy scale there, if even that.

"Seacons, combine into... a marginally taller being than Galvatron! Now, fear us! Feeeeeeear ussssssss!!!"

G1 Seacon Scalor seems to have the power to regenerate himself. He got blown up in this scene:

(cued to 9:39)

and he appears again in the final battle, in which all the G1 Seacons get eviscerated:

(cued to 18;35)

Yet they all seem to have the ability to regenerate and reconstitute themselves because they all appear again in the preview for the next episode.

 

[Haywire]

Unlike the Western version of the Seacons, all the Masterforce Seacons except Turtler/Snaptrap were portrayed as disposable drones. In most episodes, you will see several of each type, not just one. So they aren't regenerating, the Destrons are just building more or have more just waiting to be the next cannon fodder.

 

[Sabrblade]

There's two of them (and two Tentakils, and two of the lobsters, and two of the stingrays) right there:

 

[CoffeeHorse]

See? The redundant ROTF Constructicons aren't that weird.

 

[Sabrblade]

See?

See see see see
See see see see
Seacons!

The G1 Seacons have got the power to survive:

Targetmasters? So does that mean their weapons/guns turn into robots? I did not see that in the cartoon, comics, or commercial. Do I have the wrong idea about Targetmasters? Aren’t they what was introduced in G1 Transformers Rebirth, with nebulans piloting their weapons?

 

[Sabrblade]

The G1 Seacons have got the power to survive:

The line is "They've got the power to surprise."

 

[Dekafox]

The twist was that any of the Seacons could be the targetmaster gun of the gestalt, combining the targetmaster idea with that of Scramble City gestalts - so where any smaller bot could be a limb, any of the smaller Seacons could also be the gun instead.

There was never an Autobot counterpart, which is why one of the 3P makers created Glacialord as a Headmaster twist on that idea, and something that could feasibly have come out back then.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Yeah, that's why there are six of them, despite the normal Scramble City-styled combination.

Why is Grand Maximus relying on Super Ginrai getting an upgrade to defeat this new Destron threat being sent to Earth. Isn’t he supposed to be as powerful as his bro Fortress Maximus? And who is this new villain?

Grand is Fortress's younger brother, so no, he's not as powerful.

 

[ooo-baby]

The commercial for the G1 Seacons gives the impression you can submerge them and play with them in water:

Can you do this? Is that a real selling point? Have you ever played with Piranacon while taking a bath, like a rubber duckie?

 

[Gizmoboy]

You can pretty much do this with any of your Transformers. I wouldn't recommend it though because the screws and pins can rust, but you can totally do that.

 

[Sabrblade]

And the stickers would peel off and/or disintegrate.

if only my g1 seaspray wasn't lost in the great purge of my early teens... the stories he could tell of our tubventures.
