Charlee Writefag here, I wrote out two basic greentexts concerning story aspects of Charlee with the goal of inspiring others to brainstorm & expand on said ideas.
Posting the first one only because both of them together hit the character limit.
Getting the Corvette mode: >Charlees first Alt-Mode before her Corvette mode is a beat up 60s Nash Metropolitan she finds on the side of the road soon after her Cybertronification >Is reminded of her fathers Corvette after sneaking back from the Autobots established HQ to her home town to see how her families doing, which at the time are still distraught at the disappearance of Charlie. >She manages to contact Memo, who’s still working at the pier Fairgrounds and saves him from a bunch of guys he accidentally spilled Mustard on. >They chat, both happy to see one another even after some confusion, and Charlie asks Memo to nab the Corvette for her tonight, which he does after some convincing of her parents. >Finally scans it after Memo takes it out into the woods, transforming into a sleek red C1 Corvette, the headlights beaming, she opens the door and tells Memo to hop in. >After driving Memo around a little and exchanging heartfelt goodbyes, she contacts the Autobots to let them (especially Bumblebee) know that they’re safe and en route back to their new home. >Memo later realizes he forgot to return the ORIGINAL Corvette and left it stuck in the woods the whole night.
Joshua Taylor
>That Duke bot better transform into a jet, or just start flapping his arms really fast.
Jeremiah Martin
Second one here, enjoy!
Life as an Autobot: >Charlee, considering she’s incredibly new to the war compared to her comrades, is given basic combat training with the help of Ironhide. >Soon takes up an apprenticeship with Ratchet, who is suffering from incredibly mixed feelings about a Human turned Cybertronian still >Helps him out in deciphering human culture and it’s technology, which they hijack and use to establish radios/power/etc >She’s rarely allowed on Combat missions, so she’s limited to close Recon and minor repair duties, such as the odd fender bender or blown off panel. >Whenever Bumblebee isn’t on missions or training, he’s spending all his time with Charlee, chatting with one another like the pure friends they are. >Prime finds their friendship fascinating, and it helps him gain hope for Earth and it’s inhabitants.
it's harsh, but someone can get the wrong idea easily.
Christopher Reed

Please make it a Decepticon.
>"Shoot the autobots, not the trees, asshole!"
Asher Ortiz
Oh, I have some ideas, let me share. >give the gems vehicle modes recycled from Combiner wars. Plus Garnet made from Battletrap and Malachite from Overlord.
Logan James
Also Malachite comes with three Titan Masters with Jasper, Lapis and her own face. For full body horror and since it uses a retooled Overlord mold you can put Lapis' and Jasper's faces on the chest
Samuel Wood
>>She manages to contact Memo, who’s still working at the pier Fairgrounds and saves him from a bunch of guys he accidentally spilled Mustard on.
I like this, seems very in character
Landon Rivera
share everything you have, transformers crossover has tons of potential
Jaxon Parker
>turn all the Gems into Prime Masters that the Autobots/Decepticons can use to fight over petty stuff. Yellow/Blue=Autobot Aligned, White/Pink=Decepticon Aligned >Skydive in in Peridot colors but the wings stay metal grey to imply she flies with her metal powers. >Monster Jasper combiner idea, have the torso be a retooled Onslaught as Jasper, one of the Aerialbots as Lapis, perhaps even Blackwing with clear blue wings to symbolise water and two of the Rook molds as the corrupted Quartzes (but really uncorrupted heads). >Obsidian v1. Amethyst is Hound mold, Pearl is the Moonracer mold, Ruby is Offroad, Sapphire is Alpha Bravo (in reference to Battletrap Garnet) and Rose is a remolded Elita-1. >alternatively, there's also a Pyra Magna/Inferno retool as Garnet so you can use her as the torso and make Alexandrite.
Sebastian Adams
>turn all the Gems into Prime Masters this would be the best approach to it.
Christopher Rodriguez
It makes so much sense, honestly. They can create weapons from the gems and get augmented durability and powers. If possible, they would even act like Mini-Cons or Cyber Keys.
Julian Fisher
How does she become a Transformer?
Cooper Edwards
She gets reincarnated by the AllSpark
Evan Gonzalez
Sounds quick, easy and cinematic. Perfect.
Evan Myers
How does she react to that? Does she fully die or is she barely clinging to life?
Ryder Russell
yeah, and it wouldn't have to go full uncanny as the other attempts at crossover went
Matthew Morales
You mean Marvel? Cause that had good intentions. Too bad most Transformations were clusterfucks and Thor... Star Wars...should have gotten Takara to do it.
Blake Gray
Yes, ectotron isn't out yet so i left him out intentionally. and i think star wars did do takara, and it was good, or so i heard. still looked a bit silly.
Charles Richardson
I think it should have been done sooner before Disney killed the hype, since the Hasbro ones did sell somewhat. And apparently those from Takara were overpriced. Lucas knew how to squeeze the brand.
Brayden Brown
They did it too much and it died, maybe that's why they were so expensive. but vehicles only like ectotron is far better.
Adam Baker
I thought both Star Wars and Marvel crossovers were big because Hasbro sucks at engineering so they couldn't make them smaller.
Wyatt Walker
You people are still circlejerking over female TFs? What weirdos.
Asher Brown
you would have a point...if we weren't discussing potential crossovers. you idiot.
weren't those made by people from the non transformer team?
Jacob Garcia
Absolutely, that's why they suck. Heh, ML sucked around that time so it makes sense.
Dominic Collins
well, they were also stuck in "let's add crazy gimmicks in every toy" era, so it justifies even further, like that tank hulk and his entire wobbly torso. also just how bad was ML during that time?
TL:DR, hasbro produces a good toyline, everyone bitches because nostalgia, and anytime something better came out they just doubled down
Connor Williams
An example? Though, they kinda have a point with Doc Ock and Six-Armed Spidey.
Nathan Gomez
oh, ML, kinda in the dark about that one. getting into ML is opening a massive can of worms that is ill suited for a TF thread...we should let go of it now. unless we get into cape vehicles for crossover.
Jonathan Cruz
In my experience, it's best to stay away from ML, it's maddening. And yes, totally.
so what cape vehicle could work for marvel crossover 2.0? if they want to they can just throw a figure in a sitting position, or make them headmasters. nice shatter
>Cars >Transformers Like, yes, I would very much like that.
Kevin Wilson
You never know, Prime characters are favorites of fan artists.
Asher Powell
well you're in luck, bootlegers already sank their teeth into that crossover already. I think that's as best as it could get since disney loves to have most of their properties in a stranglehold sharing wise.
I would actually prefer that, makes them seem a little less creepy when they are actually, devolved transformers? only issue would be not making those massive eyes and mouth stick out like a sore thumb...or how to make a good headsculpt. too realistic and it won't look like cars, too cartoony and it gets creepy
Alexander Moore
Best of both worlds, revive the Animated aesthetic or use the Prime aesthetic.

Grayson Bennett
i'd like to believe it might actually be ambiguous if bee turned into that hellbot.
Eli Murphy
For Bumblebee to be a complete 80's movie it needs a nightmare sequence that scares young viewers (and some adults) shitless.
Connor Brown
It wasn't a nightmare. Also, Shia LaBeouf is real.
Easton Lopez
We might get one. i got reminded of that time someone did a headcanon on the bay movies, putting them as a nightmare sequence for bee how horrifying
>All of it was a nightmare. Yes, I can see it. Poor Bumblebee.
Joshua Ward
Fortunately since it's officially considered a reboot, it will remain as just that, a nightmare. he won't have to suffer through that hell again...hopefully. and it makes that headcanon stronger, i accept it without question
>RiD2001 Only got evil at the end really. And you can't beat BM Megs. You can't.
Jacob Miller
i mean, dub 2001 megs is diet BM megs. both end up wanting to kill everything, the only difference is that BM megs wants everything on cybertron dead, 2001 megs only wants both sides dead
Charles Long
But ripping sparks from bodies and doing whatever you feel like with them is a very twisted kind of evil.
Samuel Bennett
that goes again to proving 2001RiD megs is a diet BM megs. BM megs rips sparks out of bodies to make his army. 2001 megs brainwashes and corrupts protoforms to make them his army.

I love her, and her toy was pretty damn good, but not gonna hold my breath. its likely she isnt even truly considered female officially.

Yeah, but remember >Shadow Striker >Sportscar literally a Lambo That's from the Club, around Sonar's era. >Novastorm >Named by Fun Pub, literally a background character. She actually has a chance.
Jaxson Robinson
And may it continue being good, though I'm worried they may have written Windblade off.
Alexander Ward
you say that because of the spark armor? they probably are just taking longer for her since she's already quite hard to balance without armor
Joseph Phillips
>Hot Topic: RiD Bumblebee is a better Hot Rod than Hot Rod.
Nobody who actually watched both RID15 and G1 will argue with you about this. He didn't even pussy out and let Optimus give orders when he showed up and tried to force leadership on him.
Well that show did away with Blurr and brutalized Bumblebee. I have my reasons to worry. Though Blurr appears in RB, maybe that's why they did away with him.
Ryder Johnson
They realistically showed him become a leader as the show went on, that's one of RiD's stronger points too.
Gavin Reed
>>Novastorm >>Named by Fun Pub, literally a background character.
Novastorm is Firestorm renamed though, and shes G1
just by nature of being a g1 female in the original cartoon gives her an edge
Jace Russell
The biggest fault of RID was the first season where nobody knew what the fuck they were doing, it got increasingly better after that.
Liam Martinez
I enjoyed how we had an entire arc where the villain was just a combiner and that was threatening enough for an arc villain, and he didn't fucking job to anyone except another combiner.
Shadow striker being a exclusive like she was makes her "special" though, and would draw more attention than a random standard toy only figure
Aiden Gutierrez
They build up to that, which is nice. Shows nowadays can't do that right without getting retarded. That RiD managed to do it is another strong point.
Robert Brooks
From the trailer it looks like only Megatron and Prime get the spark armor and everything else is just funny haha toy gimmicks. I would worry more about the Seekers then I would Windblade, honestly.
Mason Russell
Honestly, I'd seen worse. The fandom overreacted as usual.
Dylan Davis
aw shit, my bad. youre right, thank you.
Well even then, i dont think sonar is popular enough or has enough demand.
Gavin Lopez
I don't think they'll die but they are going to lose a lot of importance. Sadly it seems they were just starter villains.
Owen King
I'd say they are on a similar level, Shadow Striker is obscure enough and I guess enough kids could have had Sonar to care about her. But she could be a background character, for all I know.
Yeah but the first season of RID had a notably "oh what the fuck are we doing" production. Originally going to be a more straight forward sequel to Prime before Hasbro said NO DON'T, so it shifted to the complete opposite in tone and writing. The lead story guy wasn't even allowed (well he was told not to, so he didn't till around season two) to watch Prime but was told to do a sequel for it anyway. Prime writers that were still there (and left before season two started) were most likely annoyed they had to suddenly write "baby shit" as Yea Forums threads at the time put it, and I honestly think that comes off in the episodes they write. To top it all off the BIG BAD OF SEASON ONE was a Hasbro mandate to push something that looked like Megatron with a similar name, and the main writing crew hated The Fallen so much (they couldn't even get the fire effects looking right at the time and kept trying till the last minute to no avail, which is why there's mention of him being HOT and ON FIRE in the script still) he was never mentioned again and the GOD POWER UP they used in the final first season episode to shill a Hasbro toy was IMMEDIATELY taken away in the first episode of the second season. It got noticeably better after that first season.
>The lead story guy wasn't even allowed (well he was told not to, so he didn't till around season two) to watch Prime but was told to do a sequel for it anyway
DID THEY NOT LEARN FROM BEAST MACHINES?!
THEY DID THAT AGAIN?
Noah Russell
>which is why there's mention of him being HOT and ON FIRE in the script still Honestly I liked that. But yeah, I never stopped and asked that myself. Thanks for making me realize it.
Jaxson Cox
To be fair he was told how it ended, but it's why the only Prime references in season one were by the writers that worked on Prime, and then by the second season you have Soundwave and Ratchet appearing for guest cameos.
At one point in production Megatron was gonna come back too.
Some say the forest fire episode in season two was written to spite that
Dylan Clark
>Beast Machines: Let's have already established characters be written by someone who has no idea how to write them
>RID15: Bumblebee was basically a non character in Prime and he couldn't even talk for almost all of it, so let's just make him a beat cop who can't catch a break. Also he interacts with entirely new characters.
Confession: I bought the talking Prime Bumblebee toy as soon as I saw him talk in the show. He was a complete non character. And it was the crappy international version that had like 2 voice clips. Fun fact: they got JYB to voice the toy.
Leo Torres
I really like Will Friedle for his voice. He just sells the suffering so much.
Benjamin Taylor
I liked that he was trying to be responsible while suffering and being dorky.

This is fucking awesome! Holy shit! This! I see! Are you the polygon user or the stopmotion user?
The early beast wars toys came with gimmick, sometimes they were just masks but other times it was a second head. The most curious case is Tarantulas since he used the monster head in the show, while Blackarachnia used the humanoid one. Plus everything else they did with her model, it barely resembled the toy.
Henry Russell
I want it
Adrian Bennett
Love me some more asymmetrical TFs. Who's the artist?
Doesn't help that most people remembered TM Tarantulas as the definitive look of Tarantulas, almost like the opposite of Rhinox although that's because Rhinox' TM upgrade never happened in the show.

I like that her bodytype basically confirms my headcanon that police academy females get supplied with this bodytype. So there might have been a time when Strongarm wasn't that buff...
Carson Allen
RID's Decepticon-of-the-week format is sinultaneously the best and the worst thing the show has ever had. Lots of fun and interesting characters like Fracture, Finch, Kickback, Vertebreak, Quillfire, Bisk, Blastwave, Springload, Nightra and Shadowraker only get three to five episodes at most, mostly in a one-and-done type of stories, and not a whole lot screentime to flesh them out or do something else with them. Did Fracture ever did something significant in the whole show?
>Wait, seriously?! Yes, seriously, she was voiced by Lori Petty. >>Nightracer? Yeah, originally she was called "'Chicane" but that was changed (not soon enough to fix the episode description on cable) and it feels like they looked down a list of femmebot names, picked the first "evil" one, and then were told by Hasbro that couldn't clear so they used the first few syllables.
Maybe its because im a jojo fanboy, but I've always felt that Transformers lends itself to a villain of the week story much better than an ongoing series. I liked RID better than Prime for this reason. Animated also did it very well. My ideal transformers series would be a motley crew of autobots fighting randos every week, and then having a big name baddy show up on the season finales. Megatron should be talked about in hushed tones throughout until he finally shows up.
Brandon Johnson
>Fracture He was very cool looking. >Crasher, Fracture, Shatter Maybe he did become a legacy character and Shatter took the place of the Crasher-expy?
I can actually buy Nightra doing this, unlike most femmebots where it'd be OOC, she's a confirmed hedonist who doesn't follow the rules like a goody-good Autobot, but she isn't a Decepticon who let's face it, would just as soon kill you as look at you.
>Your application to the Cybertron Police Academy has been approved, welcome cadet Strongarm. >Yes! >Would you pick the cyber bike or-- >Police truck.
Cooper Davis
>I liked RID better than Prime for this reason. Animated also did it very well. I liked Animated too, but they very deliberately used human villains for a lot of episodes because they didn't want to cheapen the impact of the Decepticons.. but RiD didn't get that.
They used the Decepticons every week, so it DID cheapen them and make most of them seem like jobbers, even "The Pack" which was supposed to be the serious reoccuring enemies were composed of mostly incompetent or joke villains like Thunderhoof or Clampdown. Sure Lugnut and Blitzwing were kinda joke villains, but they were at least OP to make up for it, Clampdown's power is that he's... slightly less autistic than the other crustacean car robot?
>My ideal transformers series would be a motley crew of autobots fighting randos every week, and then having a big name baddy show up on the season finales. >Megatron should be talked about in hushed tones throughout until he finally shows up. That's kind of how every action cartoon is structured these days, so much so that I preferred how Rise of TMNT introduced Baron Draxum up-front, reveals he's kind of a nerd, and then sidelines him for the first dozen or so episodes. You can only build up a super-serious evil overlord who waits and watches in the shadows so often before people get disappointed that they don't live up to the hype, shit even Hot Streets made fun of that cliche in its first season. Megatronus in RiD is another bad example of this.
I think their problem was that they didn't balance the cast enough, you just had one-off villains that nobody took seriously, The Pack, who are mostly goobers led by Steeljaw, who we're TOLD has great ambitions but like, every season he just fucking ends up working for whoever the designated Big Bad is, and the Big Bads were barely characters.
Have Cryotek as a Predacon crime boss who's using the beasties to do his dirty work, have Bludgeon show up leading a kung fu death cult, actually fckn use Soundwave.
Carson Baker
I'll check out the episode in English then, bizarrely, outside of some TV captures my dub got 404. >Nightra It's a nice alternative, we could get some toys with that name. Perhaps even from her should they decide to redeco/retool a Strongarm.

I wonder if that means that at some point a giant badass bot joined the police academy and opted to be a meter maid with a segway alt-mode.
Jaxson Anderson
Animated also used its villains often enough they were developed, look at Lockdown, he was an original character made up for the show, then came back repeatedly, teamed up with Prowl for an episode to catch Starscream and so we got an ongoing rivalry between the two where Lockdown was all "We're not so different you and I" and then Prowl found out he killed his sensei... okay it's not the most original story, but it's something. He's not just a bounty hunter, he's a bounty hunter who several characters have personal beef with.
Compare that to Fracture, who's very explicitly meant to be The Rival to Drift, right down to getting matching Deployers toys... and then he very quickly gets demoted to "just" a member of the Pack. His agency is gone, you can no longer do plots about him bounty hunting which is his only distinguishing character trait, he just becomes some cool looking guy in the background.
Imagine if, instead of continuing to be a creepy independent agent who could show up wherever and whenever, Lockdown just joined Megatron's crew in TFA season 2, just fuckin' hanging out in the background helping to build the space bridge. That'd kill any mystique he had, he'd go from being remembered as "that cool bounty hunter" to just "that evil car guy".
Alexander Gray
Okay we get it you liked Animated and didn't like RID enough to watch more then the first season.
Speaking of original characters. Transformers is one of the few franchises that actually has decent original characters (comics aside). Some of the most loved characters are the ones that showed up in one of the later cartoon series and then never showed up ever again, or used very sparingly. Animated had Lockdown and Lugnut. Prime had Knockout. RID had Strongarm and a laundry list of decepticons. The question i have is if it would be possible to do a new animated series with an entirely OC cast? Would hasbro even be brave enough to try it? If done right, it could be a new rennaissance.
Matthew Ortiz
>Would hasbro even be brave enough to try it? No. That's what RID was gonna be originally.
Daniel Nguyen
No reason why it wouldn't have happened. >pic related
I should note Animated had this problem too, to an extent, just with Autobots instead of Decepticons.
Like, characters like Blurr, Wreck-Gar or the Dinobots would show up occasionally, but they never permanently joined the main cast like older TF shows had conditioned fans to expect. There're pros and cons to this, the pro is that they really committed to their five main Autobots, the con is that it's hard to get kids to buy Wreck-Gar toys when he only has two appearances spaced a year apart. At least Jazz would have been promoted to main cast in season 4 due to Prowl dying.
But at least it was in service to its "Transformers as superhero show" approach, a few heroes vs. a lotta recurring villains, the problem with RiD was it felt less like a procedural show with a few recurring villains, and more like Power Rangers where the Decepticons are the monsters, the Pack are the comic relief, Steeljaw is the general who's ostensibly serious and competent but ends up being just as much of a loser, and the big bads are stock evil cyphers who only care about RULING THE WORLD.

Are you copy pasting this from a blog that came out around the first season of RID or does everything in it only refer to the first season of RID because that's all you watched and you think it never evolved beyond that. Cause it's really doing a disservice to the on point Animated stuff.
Oliver Bailey
What the fuck are you talking about? Lugnut went from dangerous to a guy that gets beaten off-screen and to gags quickly. Blitzwing only fared slightly better because he was lucky enough to get featured in a "we need the autobots to be busy the entire episode so Sari can beat constructicons" episode.
TFA and RID decepticons have the exact same track record of winnning and losing, the major difference being that the RID Cons werent giants most of the time, so them losing didn't feel half as badly thought out.
Hell, didn't TFA instantly stablish Ratchet had in his posession a tool that could knock out any Decepticon on the spot and then procceeded with never actualy using it? Also lol at "Steeljaw is just a goober that every season goes thru the same motions" when TFA Megatron literally does the exact same "wait til the seaosn finale where i get my hands on the mcguffin i decided is the reason i lost the war" motion 3 seasons in a row, with the added embarrasment of not even getting a single good fight in the show because TFA had the animation budget of peanuts and the storyboarding of also peanuts.
Julian Powell
Considering Fracture was his go to example for what RID did wrong, a character that never returned after the first season cause his voice actor got too busy/famous even though they wanted him to, and everything is about The Pack, he very clearly didn't go beyond season one.
William Howard
Hopefully not. Things could get messy.
Jaxon Flores
>RID Cons werent giants most of the time, so them losing didn't feel half as badly thought out. That guy also doesn't seem to grasp that RID had different levels of Decepticons, some were jobbers, some were great. It mixed it up. He just wants all Decepticons to be the BIG BADDIES no matter what.
Andrew Martin
>Reminder that more then half of the Decepticons in RID15 were just random insane robots Megatron gave badges to so they would cause destruction and chaos in his name
Only reason this guy got a badge is because he was a klepto and could drive fast, but Megatron saw someone with a criminal record and said "Hey go disrupt some shit"
I actually watched it all the way to the end for the same reason as I forced myself to finish Prime, because I fucking know that smug fucks like you will always go "Oh the show got good immediately after you stopped watching it" and write off any and all criticism as "oh you must have quit after the first episode", no I kept going, because I'm stupid and stubborn and I love Transformers and I actually don't HATE things by nature, I can see a lot of good ideas in nuRiD... BUT they all felt like they were squandered, so that by the end I just felt like my time was wasted
Think about it, every other Transformers cartoon ends on some kind of note of finality, even though they leave room open for sequels and many of them HAD sequels... you got the sense that the characters had been through a lot. The G1 cartoon ends with Spike Witwicky going from being a helpless kid saved by the Autobots, to being the biggest and baddest Autobot and saving them, and bringing the Golden Age of Cybertron back. Beast Wars ends with the Maximals finally flying victoriously home, which was their stated goal for most of the show. Animated ends with Optimus and co. being welcomed back to Cybertron as heroes, after so much of the show was about how they were underdogs and how they weren't appreciated back home.
RiD kinda tries to do that, but like, it chickens out with "actually the mean Cybertron authority figures who disliked our heroes were SECRET DECEPTICONS", and it ends with them going back to Earth to do... the same shit they'd been doing all series.
It's a show written for syndication, in the 2010s. You can watch it in any order, nobody really changes or grows so it doesn't matter.
Will you stop with the "HURR SEASON ONE" samefagging? You want another example, fine, Shadow Raker gets introduced midway through season 4, has a personal backstory with Jetstorm and Slipstream, and then proceeds to get wrecked and fucking stasis pod'ed after his first appearance, like literally every other fuckin' RiD Decepticon.
Nightra, whom we were just talking about, is another example of this.
Or Overload, who has a personal grievance against Bumblebee, but again, doesn't fucking get to do anything besides show up long enough to shill a toy.
I'm just saying, they used to have the toys appear on screen often enough you gave a crap about them, kids know that the REAL villains are the ones who reappear to menace the heroes again and again, using them only once is just wasteful.
>REEE YOU DIDN'T REALLY WATCH THE SHOW >REEE YOU MUST'VE COPYPASTED THIS I mean, is it really so hard to believe someone else watched the show and had an opinion different than yours?
Fracture not getting more screentime is a shame, but claiming TFA is any better on that front when thru 3 seasons the only thing they managed to do with Blackarachnia was repeat "is she good or bad?! tune in next time to find out!" is ridiculous. Did BA even affect Optimus and Sentinel? Both of them learn the truth about what happened to her but never bring it up or talk about it outside of those episodes, and certainly doesn't mix up their motivations in any way even though it should be a traumatic revelation and so on. They somehow managed to give the character alot of screentime but still fail to develop them properly and organically and that's just kind of bizarre.
Both shows were clearly being written to be breezy and kid-friendly, so it's dumb to expect super deep villains and what not, but it atleast feels like RID knew how to commit to it's own format while TFA is full of these weird moments where they tried to be mature and then just didn't commit or flat out fucked it up.
What are you talking about? RID starts with Bumblebee as a street cop nobody leading a group of misguided teens on a mission to save Earth from a crashed prison ship.
By the end of the show the prison ship inmates are dealt with, the team is now fully integrated together to the point where they can literally combine into one working giant form, Bee is finally seen as the hero he deserves to be and more.
You forcing your way thru a show you hate just to win internet arguments is your problem, but you're losing this one anyway because it seems that you didn't even pay attention to the show while plowing thru it.
Evan Evans
...was produced at a time when Hasbro genuinely thought Transformers was a dead franchise, so they let the guys at Kenner and Mainframe do whatever the hell they wanted.
That was also a decade before a movie that made a BILLION at the box office.
>I mean, is it really so hard to believe someone else watched the show and had an opinion different than yours? No but you kept listing first season shit in every example and what I said about Fracture still counts, so it really came off like that.
David Ward
And done Dude's got more on his DA account, but I couldn't be bothered to post it.
>That guy also doesn't seem to grasp that RID had different levels of Decepticons, some were jobbers, some were great. It mixed it up. He just wants all Decepticons to be the BIG BADDIES no matter what. No, fuck you for putting words in my mouth. I love goofy jobber Decepticons. I just don't want them ALL to feel like jobbers, which even the supposed "serious" threats did in nuRiD, because most of them weren't even recurring threats. Shadow Raker is treated seriously, but he's defeated just as quickly as say, Filch. I'd be perfectly fine with Filch being the "dumb-but-powerful burd who just loves shiny things" and Shadow Raker as "the serious, cunning swordmaster who wants his slaves back" but they don't actually fuckin' appear!
What the hell makes characters like Razorpaw or Polarclaw more appealing than, say, getting another episode with Bisk where he actually does something relevant to his interests? Like I remember that time he tried to steal speakers from a concert or w/e, but that was just more "in service of a serious overplot" stuff, I wanna see him attacking E3 or some shit.
Zachary Moore
>By the end of the show the prison ship inmates are dealt with Except Steeljaw is still at large at the end, literally the last fucking thing that happens is them all driving off from the Scrapyard to catch him, it's the most "the more things change, the more they stay the same" ending a Transformers cartoon has ever had
What the fuck are you talking about, in the post you quoted there I cited examples from seasons 2 and 3 you fuck.. hell, I didn't even get into the completely fucking redundant crew of pirate robots who are all just fucking redecos of preexisting characters, which is normal for TFs yes but we already fucking HAD a token pirate in Hammerstrike, and a token crab, and a token lobster, and now everybody is doubled up and getting half as much screen time and development and fuck me, you're just going to say "You clearly only watched season 1" no matter how what.
Let me take an example of an episode I liked, Pretzel Logic. It's a fun little Grimlock focuser, written by Will Friedle for a change, the problem is do we really need Blue Bisk? Does Thermidor add anything to the story you couldn't have if they'd used Bisk or Clampdown or Scatterspike or if Clawtrap himself has just shown up?
What's weird is, most of these redecos weren't even made by Hasbro, so they can't even use the "it was to sell toys" excuse.
>I DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A MONSTER OF THE WEEK SHOW, NOR DO I UNDERSTAND "THE ADVENTURE NEVER ENDS" AS A WAY OF ENDING SHOWS! THESE THINGS BAD
Okay
David Phillips
Don't try to go that route, you'll fail to make an engrossing argument that way, because it's beyond braindead or atleast dettached from reality, to claim that Steeljaw being at large negates everything else the team accomplished. It's literally nothing more or less than the trigger for a "and our heroes exploits kept going on" ending, which is just as valid and proved-and-true than the Star Wars A New Hope ending TFA had and others, personal preferences and personal autistic biases not applied.
And for the record, because I don't care to join you and the other user's yelling, but it's retarded to say "this is bad cuz its not recourring!!" because a villain reocurring in a children's cartoon is not remotely a sign of Good Writing or Bad Writing or whatever. "The pirates were reduntant!" is retarded, they were there to set up the plot point of the old relics on Earth that was a factor thru the Starscream plot and thru Season 3. "We had a token pirate!11" is also retarded considering NONE of Hammerstrike's behaviour was pirate-like, he was an entirely snobby racist water-supremacist and Clampdown and Bisk neither had their species as their characters, their personalities were "slimy yellow belly thug'' and "batshit videogame afficionado". If you can't see the different between those characters and why they exist in the context of a children's cartoon that is meant to be fun and funny to kids then you have bigger problems than people on the internet that disagree with you to deal with.
I do understand the concept of a "monster of the week show", that's probably fucking why I compared the RiD Decepticons to MOTWs here >like Power Rangers where the Decepticons are the monsters
I just think that that it's fucking retarded as a TF show. What made Transformers interesting is, it's not just a conflict between the Heroes and the Designated Cannon Fodder Bad Guy Robots, they're the same species, the same people, just separated by their differing personalities and goals, RiD would have been the perfect show to explore that with a bunch of 'cons who each have their own motive and modus operandi... but most of them just weren't that memorable, and the few who could've been just couldn't rise above because everyone got equally short shrift.
MOTW monsters are the fucking lowest of the low in character writing, they just need to be aggressive enough to sustain a conflict for 20 minutes, but dumb enough that you can buy them being defeated with time for a 2 minute wrap-up.
If you can't think up a character interesting enough that you actually want to tell more than one story with them, then why should your audience give a crap?
Dylan Cox
>Eyes immediately go to the abs Damn it penis, can you not
Caleb Jenkins
>Conehead Starscream This is some heresy right here
Joshua Butler
>their personalities were "slimy yellow belly thug'' and "batshit videogame afficionado". ...it's still better than having recolors of them whose entire personality is "pirate!"
Like okay, yeah, Thermidor and Clawtrap might be distinct from Bisk and Clampdown, but only because they took personality OUT, and forgot to give them anything else other than a new paint job and some "arrrs".
You can say I'm being obtuse, but really, the writers could have worked it out. Clampdown's already attached to organized crime, just say he used to raid frigates for Thunderhoof or something, and Bisk? Just have him say "I always was Cybertron's scurviest software pirate!" and then laugh maniacally.
> "The pirates were reduntant!" is retarded, they were there to set up the plot point of the old relics on Earth that was a factor thru the Starscream plot and thru Season 3. I guess I'm biased, because I think doing back to the "this ancient Cybertronian relic we banished to space just HAPPENED to wind up on Earth!" plot point as often as they did in Aligned is retarded. You don't fuckin' need any of that shit, by your own admission the pirates are just the fuckin' warm-up act for Starscream. You could literally have Starscream hire ANYBODY, preferably a crew that has more personality than "piracy" between them.

Christian Bell
That would be a good reason for her to gain her usual appearance instead of already looking like she does. I like it. For all the different locales feautured in the movies, Japan hasn't been shown.
Matthew Green
you can always just write the idea out as a greentext. other than that let's hope for the best.
Carson Hernandez
Considering how Transformers wouldn't be around without Japan, It'd be great for them to pay some form or respect to it.
Jacob Ross
Maybe not as a Greentext, but It'll be something worth planning, I may ponder it and get it to you guys next thread, ya'll got suggestions?
Thomas Bennett
Possibly, But TLK kinda made the idea of Transformers in an Older Age sort of sour to me
Anthony Hall
>Set it in the 80's/early 90's in Japan >Right during the cyberpunk craze in there. >Put some of the Masterforce/Victory villains for Windblade to fight.
Ayden Moore
>Flamewar was hired by Thundercracker to act in Starscream: The Movie where she was cast as Rodimus. She questioned this casting, given the minor role Rodimus had played in Starscream's origins, but Thundercracker waved off these concerns, convinced that Rodimus's image would attract viewers.
Honestly the movie should be a lot about hiding and stealth fights, just to make a contrast compared to the others tendency to fight out in the open. I wonder if she would fit into cyberverse...
Michael Sanders
>A Guerilla war against Overlord & his Destrons in order to stop them from Terraforming Japan into a grand Cybertronian City, featuring a lot of Mecha Anime references from the times.
Parker Campbell
Don't forget a lot of callbacks to diaclone.
Jack Hernandez
Oof Of course >Diaclone is a portmanteau of "diamond" and "cyclone": "strong as a diamond, fast as a cyclone".
>One of the Characters says that in a heated Sword-Fight.
Robert Watson
Who could fit the bill for a main villain in the decepticon lineup? it shouldn't be someone that goes ham constantly, cause it would defeat the purpose, someone stealthy, cold, calculative and who can hide without issue. someone ...logical
Isaac Gray
Yes! Absolutely. Just like Bumblebee was a love letter to the old American media of the 80's, Windblade would do the same to Japanese media. Heck, have the old Japanese theme cameo.
Jace Kelly
>"strong as a diamond, fast as a cyclone". Windblade?
Charles Butler
Flamewar? Oh, yes, absolutely. Though I would go with the cute angle since there are plenty of serious Decepticons.
I just want her to keep being the cute bike fembot. I mean, those trips don't lie, but not as the main antagonist. just as the comedy one who keeps screwing up his disguise
Angel Myers
>I just want her to keep being the cute bike fembot. Aw, that's nice. And well I was kidding with Misfire but whoa, he's in the movie for sure.
It fits her really well, even better than arcee i would say. and seems like digits dictate otherwise, we needed a comedy antagonist anyways. just imagine the antics someone with worse aim than shockwave shooting at fembots would get into.
Jackson Wood
>The screeching of metal fills the factory as Windblade drives her sword through the chest of a Destron, watching the light fade from his optics as it crashes to the floor. >Scarred yet still functioning, Windblade tugs the sword out, steam expelling from the hilt of the stormfall sword as the plasma blade dissipates. >Energon leaking from a deep slice to the hip, Windblade gives her leg servos some rest and settles onto the floor. >Suddenly, a plasma shot from nowhere hits her in the open wound, bursting it wide open and letting her howl of pain rock the empty docks. >"A beautiful fight, it almost pains me to see minions perish by your hands..." >Her optics flickered as audio processors struggled to recognize the surprise attackers voice, all whilst his footsteps got closer & closer, the barrel of an arm cannon seizing her by the cheek and leaning her head towards them, and finally, she sees somebody she recognizes all too well. >"Shockwave, I-" >"Save your words Camien, We're not on Cybertron anymore." >"No Thanks to you." >Shockwaves optic blips for a moment, as if had opened his mouth, but refrained from running his mouth. >"Blaming somebody else for your problems?

Egh I don't know how to write Shockwave
Anthony Clark
I'm assuming you used IDW as a baseline.
Easton White
A little, Haven't read much of it at all, at least issues that have Shockwave, I just tried to stick as true to him from memory as well as mix it with my own style of writing.
Jaxson Morgan
It works in that case, and i mean, outside from comics shockwave doesn't have much personality aside from logic, so inserting extras works. i like it at least
Lucas Flores
Thanks! I came up with the Optic Blip idea on the spot and I thought it was pretty neat.
Jaxon Williams
They'll have to censor the bitches, though. And I like her as a car, but she's cuter as a bike.

My idea for a Windblade post-credit scene was Prime showing up in Japan to fetch Windblade.

Caleb Carter
Meh, if so, then Prime meeting Windblade and taking her back to the rest of the Autobots would be in the last 5 minutes of the film
Benjamin Watson
Cool.
Wyatt Torres
Not so much that, but she calls him at the end of the film, making it clear she'll join the Autobots. The Bumblebee teaser is to make clear we may get a Windblade/Bumblebee team-up movie.
Nathaniel Evans
Perhaps, and we could work it into the Autobot Charlie Idea from a while back, I wrote some short greentexts about said idea for this thread, but it hasn't been getting much attention, so here they are The bottom of these Threads usually seems to be when all the Writefags come out to play
Christian Ross
sorry for that, i liked what you wrote but i didn't have anything to add so i didn't reply
Zachary Young
Thats fair enough, I'm just happy glad you like them!
Carter Morales
There have been three Shadow Strikers now, and the Cyberverse version is just a ame reuse with nothing in common with the previous two usages besides all of them being female Decepticons.
Isaac Hall
I'd say she remains the human companion for a while, don't rush the Cybertronian transformation. She and Windblade can hit it off due to being Bumblebee's closest friends/significant other.
Chase Richardson
She turns into a sportscar and her head bears a resemblance to Sideburn, she's more than a name reuse.
Juan Ross
Fair 'nuff, it originally started out as more of a Phase-3 Idea if you catch my drift, so I don't mind keeping it that way.
Levi Hall
Considering the artist clearly knows English, they probably did that intentionally.
Nathaniel Edwards
>her head bears a resemblance to Sideburn I noticed that too, funny enough the Botcon toy has a different head sculpt tho. But I definitely think RoTF Shadow Striker was an influence, what with the big red wheels and being a pack-in rival for Bumblebee.
>Charlie is a slut! >Bumblebee goes full murder-bot. Honestly, just being a shit talker isn't enough to be filled with murderous rage. Chill out, Bumblebee.

Oh, then hit it. Autobot from Earth meets Autobot from Caminus.

Gonna fill the cast with OCs mainly, Sadly I've got a lot of cinematic-esc ideas surrounding it that if I tried to write it, It'd look like a Novelized script or those Kids books that Novelize the plot of a film.

Sunday just started, it's 5 am Central Time where I'm posting. No problem.
They don't know who she is, and what little we do know about her is mostly given through the lense of TFwiki which is far from objective. But she did apparently actually violently argue with show creators at Botcon about her views.
Benjamin Hughes
Because most people wouldn't consider this attractive.

do any of the jetfighter decepticons have a gestalt-combiner mode? Was thinking the Rainmakers could combine together to make something called Stormlord.

Well, they made a Starscream combiner torso and there are limbs for several plane decepticons like Thrust, Starscream Ghost (both Japan only, part of a boxset) and Dreadwind and Blackwing.
Kayden Cook
Naaaaah. There is this thing called budding. So Transformers could have kids by literally growing a piece of themselves that forms into a new Cybertronian. So that means EVERYONE IS A DAD. Or a mom...how else Arcee would be Rattrap's great-aunt?

Ah, sorry, I thought I was replying to the Flamewar post. Huh...I wouldn't be far fetched to make a Movieverse Flamewar out of that toy.
Angel Evans
Let's come up with some more Decepticon characters to flesh out the faction some more. They can go into new teams or join existing ones; whatever you want. I'll put down a list of names and we can brainstorm what we want(personality, alt-mode, ect) based on the first impression of the names. Here goes: >Phaseboom >Laserburn >Scrapswitch >Wipeout >Hangblade >Swiftspin >Sleek >Shockglide >Wildclaw >Chromebeast >Blockade >Bulwark >Greasetrap >Livewire >Sparkblast >Shreadhead >Crossfire >Crashcourse
>Phaseboom Decepticon thief, he can phase through solid objects and his favorite method of calling attention is detonating explosives. He would be the perfect professional but he loves making a scene.

Benjamin Ramirez
>Crashcourse A Decepticon Junkion who is extremely masochistic. He transforms into dented up demolition derby car. His robot mode looks like a crash test dummy. He is pretty much immortal and able to put himself back together no matter how badly he is broken. He actually enjoys the abuse and manically laughs at any all injuries. This being said, he has zero concept of safety, often to the detriment of his teammates. In battle he uses his abilities to their fullest potential. Such has storing explosives inside his body, ripping his arm off and using it as a club, or just crashing into his victims with suicidal force. Though a decepticon, he loves humans for their television, as all Junkions do. This often causes him to get into conflicts with his superiors, which is fine with him given his masochistic ways. He loves TV villains and often tries to team up with evil humans, usually leading to disaster for autobots and decepticons alike.
Caleb Barnes
That one ? Yeah, she's actually fun. Hoping Cyberverse will bring her in.
Defcon (Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II). A Decepticon aerial fighter that works independently from the Seekers. A silent type who prefers deeds speaking louder than words. A methodical soldier who strikes without warning, hitting hard, fast and brutally where it would hurt the Autobots, then using the havoc and chaos he caused to hunt down every single survivor using his arsenal of heavy guns and missiles.
Hated archnemesis of the young Autobot Shadowing (Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor). Before the war, Defcon was in fact Shadowing's mentor until a series of events caused the two end on different sides of the conflict. Neither he nor Shadowing want to talk about it, but both Decepticons and Autobots would hear hate and contempt in their voices.
Dominic Cox
>Hangblade A kindly female decepticon who works in the decepticon prisons as a priestess. She gives last rights to autobot prisoners about to be executed. The imprisoned autobots quite like her because, as far as decepticons go, she is much kinder to them, and tries to make their stay comfortable. This is all a facade. In truth she is the prison's executioner. Her alt-mode is a guillotine. Her favorite method of ending her targets is to enter their cell, comfort them, and ask them to lay their head on her lap. They only realize it to late that she has already transformed.
Sebastian Rivera
Wasn't Crashcourse an Autobot combiner?
Christopher Wright
No reason why she wouldn't.

Well at least she does it quickly and swiftly.
