also it is a toy commercial, so, of course, the guys there are worried about finding the current product wave available now
G1 Transformers Size, Power, and Mass
- Thread starter ooo-baby
- Start date
completely different from the G2 Sideswipe toy, which I had as a kid because I grew up on late G1 and G2, something which I've been repeatedly assured on various occasions does not qualify me to call myself a "G2 fan."
you can call yourself whatever you want
until Fortmax
I heard from reviewers that his G1 toy has an unfortunate flaw in the crouch:
It ruins the toy.
what is happening
No. It doesn't ruin the toy at all. He's great fun actually. The transformation is easy and, if you own some mini-cons, he's a great playset in city mode.
Megatron eventually went on to greater heights.
I used to own the Brave Max version even. Had to sell him off about 15 years ago to pay some bills unfortunately.
So Megatron became a Headmaster to Unicron’s transtector body? In what media?Megatron eventually went on to greater heights.
None. That's just me putting one toy on top of another toy. For fun.
You know? Fun? The thing you claim adults don't care about?
Same with my picture. There was never a media where Beast Machines Megatron became the head of Fortress Maximus commanding an army of tank drones. It's just something fun to do with playing with your toys.None. That's just me putting one toy on top of another toy. For fun.

On a side note, I'm still sad I missed out on HasLab Unicron. He really is gorgeous.
I was wondering. Six transtectors were sent to the Autobot Pretenders on Earth from Chromedome on Planet Master,
Three of those Transtectors got stolen by the Decepticon Pretenders.
Why would not all of them be vehicles since they were all pre-built Autobot transtectors.
Why would the transtectors stolen by the Decepticon Pretenders be Monsters?
Also, would not seeing family members and dogs being killed and buried harm, hurt, jar children? Filmation was very careful not to do anything that would hurt children; they made sure they only destroyed, killed robots and made sure to point out they were only robots.

It is presumed that the altmodes of the Transtectors were scanned after they arrived on Earth, rather than being built into them. The Autobots turned theirs into rescue vehicles, while the Decepticons turned theirs into monsters.
Japan isn't as sensitive as the U.S. is. Certain content that would be considered PG-13 in the U.S. is considered acceptable for young children's television in Japan.
Filmation made those decisions because that's all they were allowed to do. Even if Filmation had wanted to show onscreen death to more than just robots, the U.S. TV censors would have stepped in and stopped them. The same rules applied to every 1980s action cartoon in the U.S., not just He-Man.

Honestly, kids could use a bit of reality in their shows. Nothing graphic or oppressively dark, but real consequences to actions and unfavorable resolutions are not all bad. Sometimes people die. Sometimes the badguys win. And sometimes, the good guys and badguys aren't so easy to tell apart. It's not really healthy to totally shield kids from those realities.
Look - I can see their parachutes.
