Indeed, they HAVE done online/app stuff for Tech Specs quite a bit (if not universally, admittedly). I find that a dim reflection of what Tech Specs should be (YMMV, of course), but I don't see what I would prefer coming back anytime soon.
...I get that that seems like a slam dunk of a decision, but it's not as if I ever even entertained the "no fiction, no toyline" option in bringing this up.
I'm happy to have the toyline, especially as it's supplemented by capsules and Selects, and as it's grown to be a better mix. The UT, and Cybertron in particular, was such a wonderful time. I just want more than the "multiverse, so hot right now" excuse plot.
Hehe, the UT was previously the height of when Hasbro first started pushing the multiverse angle.
I wouldn't mind something out of, I dunno, Skybound that's basically a cross between the early G1 Marvel comics and the Legends manga, maybe leaning towards the latter. Thin plot, here comes X, Y, and Z to do something! And now A, B, and C are here to stop them! But suddenly, D, E, and F! Whose side are they on? Can they be trusted?
Or something like that.
The Armada mini-comics were good like that, too.

When they weren't asking such questions as "Why my shoulders hurt?", that is....
And I supposed they'll be wanting the WHOLE day off for Christmas? It's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every December 25th.
Maybe this will be a sign to Hasbro to step up their game for their cartoon series. I mean, the last one I enjoyed was Prime.
What you like is your prerogative, but seasons 2-4 of Cyberverse were pretty great, while EarthSpark has been very good so far.
Cyberverse was good, but I was thinking more along the main line TV series. I haven't seen Earthspark yet.
I can't get past the mobile game aesthetic. I don't know why it bothers me. There's nothing wrong with it. Something in my brain just gets itchy when I see it.
I really enjoyed the Cyberverse movie with the dinobots.
I think they kinda fumbled the end of the season, but otherwise Earthspark is fantastic and I highly recommend it. It's probably the freshest take on Transformers we've had in awhile. (Even while having the prerequisite cast of Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee etc. etc.)
Something about the CGI aesthetic of Earthspark really puts me off, especially the Transformers themselves. Somehow they managed to make robots fall into the uncanny valley to me, I don't know how but they did it.
I always liked the lack of nose Prime look. It just felt alien robot to me which really worked.It's because they have noses, isn't it?
To be fair, most Optimus Primes don't have visible noses anyway.
