Is Yea Forums excited for the new Transformers movie universe that started with Bumblebee?
Transformers Reboot
I love Bumblebee movie
Me too
Please God, let it be good. I need something to pick me up now that the MCU is over.
Nope.
This
same.
Let the age of The Transformers begin.
Already came and went.
Yeah, but it's been 35 years, it's time for a comeback.
I hope I'm mistaken but haven't the comments from the producers basically boild down to them having no idea why this one was well liked and the others weren't and they're ready to go back to the old formula now?
No no, it was 2007-2017.
Maybe I'm a masochist but I kinda want to see Transformers 6 to know what they were going to do with Unicron.
They'd probably completely forget that for a new plot, give Megatron another redesign, and have him bungle his way at being another secondary villain to some new EVEN BIGGER BAD
THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH UNICRON!!!!
Nothing! Nothing!kys
Lorenzo(a producer that has no actual influence over the films anymore and is in because of his company and a contract with Paramount that's due to expire next year) said that the next film will be a Bee/Prime buddy cop film with more action and heart like Bumblebee.
I hope the Bee sequel has Soundwave and Starscream as villains an then the third big scale tf film has Megatron as big bad. Y'know teased as a threat across two films like Thanos.
10/10 wonderful impression.
Twat.
Sure?
Bump
y
I want /ourprick/ Prowl to show up
Transformers movies where the Transformers actually look like Transformers? It will never work.
lol
t. Micheal Bay 2007
No Optimus is with Bee now so we can have Megs, but in the third movie either give him Galvatron status or let Unicron show up
>Megatron gathering the infinity stones to summon Unicron
That would be awful. Unicron needs a buildup.
>Fanart
Oh
>Bee/Prime buddy cop film
Prowl better be in it.
Needs more Optimus Crime in sequel
Maybe if you told me this 10 years ago, sure.
As long as it's good, has no bullshit like Bayformers did and will eventually lead to Beast Wars, then I'm OK.
Who will buy these?
Cybertron...not a honeycomb
>still as detailed as Bayformers
Knight said he already has a G1 design for Megatron, and he wanted him in the Cybertron fight "fucking shit up like Sauron." But because they hadn't decided on whether it was a reboot, it never made it into the movie. We know that Knight fucking loves Megatron though, he's gushed about him in several interviews.
Knight is expressed interest in doing the sequel and Lorenzo said they'll like to being him back.
*has
I think the Bumblebee sequel will release in 2021 at earliest
Who will ride her Yea Forums?
Maybe he'll fix Bee's voice this time...
PRIME!
Yes, but I'm still hoping IDW does a comic conculsion to Bay's movies, just for closure.
ONE SHALL STAND, ONE SHALL FALL
Why do you throw away your life so recklessly?
No cliches, Galvatron.
>Cybertron actually looks like Cybertron and not some weird honeycomb bee hive
God I love this movie
That is a question you must ask yourself, Megatron!
This is literally the best Cybertron has looked and it looks just like it should look. I'm very pleased with this movie.
Me too,I alao love the fact that the war isn't thousands of years and rather more recent,like 10 years or 20 years old.
Wait, when did they say this? Considering Knight enjoys G1, I figured he stick with the millions of years of war thing.
Me. I would be proud of my pink and white sports car that can turn into my girlfriend.
I mean, it could still be millions of years
I mean, they were just now fleeing from Cybertron to establish a base elsewhere
If they follow the Siege storyline, you might be right. That would be nice change of pace.
Even put through the "Precious G1" filter they still looked like shit.
What's that storyline?
The war just started, that's the gist of it. Everyone looks like their G1 selves, since that's the toyline Hasbro is currently pushing, I see it played a big part for the Cybertron scenes.
Nice
He got stubby legs.
this one, right?
I seriously hate that design so much, his face looks like the Hulk.
Fuck you, it's a million times better than anything Bay ever shat out.
I knew it looked familiar. Just couldn't place it.
Well, that's not Knight's design. It looks like it but it's actually a statue from a few years back.
Can we get female seekers too?
I think they're testing that idea in current Cyberverse and for my money, it's working fine.
Yeah, I can vouch for that. Those are the few toys that sell.
This too.
Please be voiced by Jeffrey Combs.
I want them to make Soundwave a good boi like the IDW comics
and i want qt robot bois
>le ravioli
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Bumblebee was qt, though. It's a start.
>Ravioli is STILL getting hired by IDW
IDW
Stop
Please
No.
Favorite BotBot?
Steve from Accounting
The Chainsaw.
Waddlepop. Or Hamurai.
Who, in my mind, talks just like Jon Belushi's Samurai on SNL.
I haven't seen one in person yet.
Amazing.
>Lorenzo(a producer that has no actual influence over the films anymore and is in because of his company and a contract with Paramount that's due to expire next year
Is it really? This is the first I've heard
But we only have one and if we had more then she would lose what makes her unique.
Then again there are very few female decepticons
Nah it's complete garbage and fuck you, I can hate both that and the Bay design.
What if I told you we now have two more?
Yes it's true.
Thats nice, but just because its better than Bays doesn't mean it doens't look ugly. Doing G1 with a billion greebles on top has never looked good, and that isn't the aesthetic the Bee movie went for anyway. You can homage G1 without thoughtlessly slapping greebles on it.
Brick?
user, you are based.
DECEPTIKAWNS
Arnhide face is weird, but I like everything about this design.
Only if megatron is played by David Kaye.
Both one of my fave Transformers and one of my fave lubes.
it's basically a robo skullface
or hellboy
>takes a blaster shot to the shoulder
>not even scratched in the slightest
I'm still pissed about what the original animated movie did to my bro Brawn.
>Ironhide is Hellboy
Makes far too much sense.
Yesss.
Prowl had it worse, but Brawn's made no sense.
When your creator says you gotta die, you die, no matter how silly the way is.
Sad but true.
I guess they're putting the name Transformers in hibernation mode after all the shit with Bay.
It's a miracle it even survived to have Bumblebee come out.
Please tell me these are fan made
An why is it Ironhide? He was barely even in the movie?
Not really
it's still Ironhide
hello everyone
yes please
>has name right there and fan made written
No,they are official
>still no toys
man i hated the voice Ratchet had in Bumblebee, didn't fit at all.
I hope we get a better voice next time.
Saw films 1 and 2 with mommy over burgers, they were ok
recorded 3 and I think 4 or 5 which I haven't watched, same with Bumblebee
got some cray-zee theory here and then a question:
>Sam gets Optimus killed to save his life
>gets acknowledged as leadership material (by the old Primes)
>ends up bringing Optimus back
>Sam is the Rodimus of the Bayverse
Also I heard that they're making a 6th(?) movie that'd follow the Bayverse and not the Bumblebee canon, and I sure do love Rodimus, so:
>next film is the final Bayverse film, and you're obligated to watch it
>maybe there's a resolution-y ending or maybe it's abrupt, but Rodimus becomes leader (Optimus may or may not be dead idk)
>Bayverse canon ends this way and then it's back to Bumblebee squeakquels
Would anyone - having seen all of the Bay films unlike me - be happy with this ending, or did it get so bad that you'd rather have the old canon dead and buried?
I keep forgetting to get Bee bc movies are lonely, but I hope it's good!
>just came here for innocent reasons
>those proportions
tfg no stop
I also have this saved, this was one of you wasn't it
Wasn't there a Slipstream user
aaaaa
THICC
I feel that making his gun-arm into a regular projectile weapon misses the whole point.
Also his eye is too big.
Is this Knight's fetish? Arcee is THICC too...
Hi, Slipstream user.
They aren't making a sixth bay film. They make a Bee sequel in the reboot timeline. That was just a mistranslation. Lorenzo meant a big scalemtf film in the sense of TLK
Reminder not to give ANYTHING Lorenzo says ANY weight whatsoever because the man constantly flip flops on what he's saying and doesn't understand half the shit he says. He literally admitted to not understanding what a reboot is despite working in the movie industry.
Oh good
Oh no
yeah she has THICC thighs and pointy boobs
>not studio series
Even the chinks are waiting for Takara's engineering.
Who cares? Lorenzo proved he has no real power over these films anymore. It's Hasbro who have the power and final say now. They can greenlit or cancel films if they want to.
Nail Byter or Poo sham
all good choices
She cute, though.
>I feel that making his gun-arm into a regular projectile weapon misses the whole point.
Why?
It's hooked up to his chest-reactor, and Shockwave is stated to be 'master of the whole electromagnetic spectrum'. So it should be a high-powered laser/maser/graser gun.
>Who cares?
Buddy that's the entire point of my post.
Oh yeah, that makes sense. It's kinda lost since his name has been Shockwave/Shockblast, but his Japanese name Laserwave makes it abundantly clear.
Shockwave can shoot from other places as well
I didn't say she wasn't!
Don't want to post more Slipstreams bc don't want to steal Slipstream-user's thunder - please notice me senpai..!
It's 10am time to sleep for real
Alright, sleep well.
In an LSD-induced fever dream perhaps.
Laser Shocks of Death?
Love, Sex and Decepticons
Now I can imagine a movie about Shockwave making a band or opening a night club and losing himself to debauchery.
>pic related
you rang, nerd?
They'll kick his ass.
The body is good, i quite like it, but that face is an abomination.
Is it so hard to make a stone cold Megatron face? He needs to look like an old grizzled nazi, not some nightclub bouncer.
i always wondered whatever became of Elita-1 and her crew
It was unnoficially acknowledged they died between seasons. But that may have changed due to Legends and the BotCon comics.
Decepticons!
DIE AUTOBOTS!
...sind in Deutschland?
Könnte sein.
So...I just wacthed Mortal Engines and it was cgi heavy...it had a budget of 100 million $...why the fuck aren't tehy doing a cybertron film? If that budget worked for all the good cgi they had then why the fuck dont we get aWFC film? Or is it because ILM is expensive? I think Weta did the cgi for mortal engines...more superior imo to most modern ilm.
no, because it was trash and somehow less interesting than the bay movies
the best part was the intro on cybertron and everything else was generic as hell
WETA are basically paid in pennies, though. And sure, we could get a Cybertron film, it's just that Hollywood is afraid of doing this kind of film unless humans are involved. I'd say is possible and to do it. Maybe have Optimus tell the the story to Charlie or whoever the human companion ends up being this time to somewhat shoehorn humans.
T.Bayfag
Cringe
Pretenders when?
Hopefully soon. Plenty of potential for development.
Sari's not a Pretender.
But that may have changed due to Legends and the BotCon comics.
Correction: The universes were those stories take place make have additional details.
Legends takes place in its own universe, but adds information to the grand Japanese G1 universe.
FunPub's stuff were always in their own similar or branched universes, never the actual original ones.
All evidence points to them having died between seasons due to Decepticons occupying Cybertron by the year 2005, however, they may have been purposefully omitted due to the fact that they weren't supposed to exist in the first place. So their survival remains a mystery.
Why are you reiterating shit
I didn't argue against any of that in the earlier conversation
To expand on it? Sorry.
>however, they may have been purposefully omitted due to the fact that they weren't supposed to exist in the first place.
u wot m8
Hasbro didn't want female transformers back then, turns out "The Search for Alpha Trion" was written without Hasbro bothering to check the script and by the time the realized what happened, the episode was already done.
[citation needed]
hey how are things?
god arcee is fantastic, she has those mommy thighs
Fine, thank you, a bit busy overall, sorry about still not updating the pastebin. Glad to see you back, we haven't had threads since, well, we get threads regularly thanks to the comic and other developments.
Not that user, but that knowledge comes from interviews with Budiansky and the cartoon writing teams.
Ratchet was supposed to be female, but at the last minute he was told “They are all men, these are for boys” by Hasbro. So when he went to write the comics, he had them entirely genderless and unaware what male and female meant, defaulting to male pronouns because that’s what the humans referred to them as.
The cartoon team thought it was bullshit, and kept sneaking them in. Hasbro was fairly hands-off for the cartoon aside from demanding a new character with a new toy be added in a starring role every so often. So they got away with it.
Japan loved the idea of female Transformers, even changing some lesser characters to female in the comics. Usually this was for comedy purposes, or to have Decepticons who could get beat on but not having to explain why the Autobots don’t execute them. Like pic related basically.
The reigns were so loose with Beast Wars that they just had females from the beginning, no explanation needed for that any more than how the organic parts worked. Ironically, Japan initially made all the females male or vaguely genderless in Blackarachnia’s case until they were written into a corner with Airazor and Tigertron’s kiss. They were changed back to female without explanation later.
Thanks to Beast Wars normalizing the idea, Transformers are just sometimes female now in every continuity. Unless some of the old UK comic writers are in charge, they hate the female idea. Which is why Arcee was a tranny in IDW, they let those guys have the reigns for a while and they steered her right into a tree.
Forgot my pic.
We need more Doronjos aside from Thunderblast.
Pretty much the only reason I'm seeing Lion King and want it to get as big as possible is I want Hollywood to see that kind of "live action" can be successful.
Just a teeny tiny tip towards a Cybertron movie.
Maybe we could get Beast Wars.
oh I see, thats a nice slipstream pic btw. Dont worry about the pastbin I know people have other things to do
Lyzack. Slipstream. Japanese Nightbird.
Any others? I feel like I’m forgetting some.
Still, don't write it off, I still wrote a chunk, so the update is still coming. Thanks for understanding.
Scylla from Beast Wars II.
Wait, Japanese Nightbird? Really?
Legends comics.
When civilian Beast Wars Megatron accidentally summoned Sunbow Megatron into his universe and G1 Megs took over the toy company, he rescued G1 Nightbird and mass produced clones of her as a “maid robot” which he altered the minds of to make them adorably clumsy. When they tried to take over the world they just kept hurting themselves, and the public loved them for the antics. Megatron made a huge profit, allowing him to push purple Megs even further out of the company. G1 Nightbird learned to be a ninja and transform from the sixchangers, and conducts corporate espionage against the Maximal/Autobot companies. She eventually becomes arch enemy with Scourge and using her clones against the Sweeps, fighting to keep Megatron’s Spark as Megatron and not allow him to become the self-destructive asshole Galvatron (which Scourge wants). After Megatron became mayor she ran the company and treated BW Megs like her assistant.
Eventually she returned to the G1 cartoon, but free. She never appeared again because she found ambition as a businesswoman and didn’t care about the war anymore.
>turns out "The Search for Alpha Trion" was written without Hasbro bothering to check the script and by the time the realized what happened, the episode was already done.
>The cartoon team thought it was bullshit, and kept sneaking them in. Hasbro was fairly hands-off for the cartoon aside from demanding a new character with a new toy be added in a starring role every so often. So they got away with it.
still waiting for that citation
Huh, I own the toy and I only ever knew about the clones, thank you.
Wow, thanks for providing proof for the thing I DIDN'T ask for.
Could you, maybe next time, provide proof for the stuff I DID ask for?
"Hasbro didn't want a girl toy in their boys toyline" is not the same thing as "the cartoon writers did a sneaky and snuck an entire episode past Hasbro". Idiot.
The former has proof. The latter is lacking proof.
do you guys think shatter was handled well? Do you think we will see more female transformers in the beeverse movies because of her?
Yes, and I guess it's a given.
You asked for proof that Hasbro said no to females.
There it is, right from Budianky’s mouth you whiners.
Given you know Hasbro’s rule, you can then infer the reason they only rarely occur in G1 is the writers slipping them in.
In making of interviews about the movie, look them up yourself, they talk about how little fucks Hasbro gave about the series. They mandated stuff like Autobot City be made into Metroplex in post production, and demanded concept art for movie tie-ins early on in the process. They demanded Ultra Magnus be in it, and somehow killing off all the discontinued toys.
Other than that, writers had free reign. So Arcee existing despite the rule against females meant they had snuck it in.
Fucking autists need everything spelled out and spoonfed, I swear.
>You asked for proof that Hasbro said no to females.
No, I didn't, you goddamn dumbass.
They'll probably recycle her model into Nightbird or something
Really though, maybe they'll do another Decepticon entirely different.
Finally, art that makes Animated look good.
Not as good as that one, though.
Can't wait to see my waifu
cute feet
What if we're all pretenders wearing shells on the outside
H-henlo fren
Wait, pastebin user? Like, the OG pastebin user from back in the day? I think I still have you on skype..
toesys
hello is that kreo user?
ignore the name sorry
Nope, sorry, not that pastebin user.
Woah hello friend! IDW's comics ended and it took a while before I noticed the (female) TF threads, and from what I gathered you're quite the beloved one here. Pleasure to make your acquaintance~
How was your day?
Grr
Hmf
I'm just going to pretend that you're the Rodimus to his Optimus so I won't be as upset
Hmf
i miss Alex
I can see him returning for covers
Alright, I don't have any problem with Rodimus.
its nice to hear some people have taken a liking to me, when all I do is post slipstream! haha. I mostly played a few of the rpgs I like and made some chicken stirfry. How did yours go?
Not that user, but that sounds nice. I'm on my way home from work, took a bit of time to check the stores for TFs.
Good, good. He's a good boy and I love him!
Well she's pretty and has a distinctive personality, so that's p kino, and you seem pleasant as a human bean and there's nothing more kino than friendship(?)
What kinda rpgs? Chicken stirfry, that sounds nice... Mommy and I watched the first two TF movies on tv but it ended at like 6am, I went to bed at like 10am and woke up an hour ago at 8pm. So I've just been computering, my tummy hurts
Recorded 3 and either 4 or 5, and I haven't seen those. Hope they're great!!!!!
He didn't get any buildup in 1986.
Is that so?
He had a kickass intro
im a bethesdrone so mostly skyrim and new vegas, nice to here you get along with your mother family time is important!
oh are you looking for any specific characters?
Skyrim sometimes lags on my laptop maybe bc of the graphics or the mods, and the mods for Elder Scrolls are more complicated so I end up uninstalling. I should get back to Oblivion though. Should I give Skyrim another chance..?
>tfw New Vegas keeps crashing bc of indecent mods
Any good mods you'd recommend? Running out of story content
Oh, forgot to respond: sometimes mommy and I get along and I'm glad we did yesterday.
>family time is important!
That it is, that it is. ;_;
I would give skyrim another go, once you learn to get things up and running its a fun game and the more mods the merrier. Nv is giving me a hard time as well actually keeps ctd when I add new files. Im working on it tonight. I actually dont have many quest mods for new vegas as I like the basic stuff but I might start looking into new stuff ill let you know what I find!
familys fight, some more than others but dont worry she loves you at the end of the day. Make sure to keep good relations with them if you can! Once you lose that connection it can be hard to get it back after so many years
Yes, looking to get the Dinobots, I'm missing just two and any new releases that catch my attention. I saw the VW Bumblebee, though it was kinda expensive.
You are nice, user.
I just got legends arcee, she is one of my top 5 transformers up their with slipstream and blackarachnia. I loved her look in the bumblebee movie I hope they put out a good toy of her from the movie.
I try to be, making up for past transgressions
That's a very nice toy. Do you have Slipstream?
Thank you, BotBots are life.
Transformers would be a good franchise if they made movies without human characters
I'd hope the movie will have actual good designs instead of these shitty "g1 with more pieces fan art". Even Ratchet who was clearly a rushed model looked 100 times better than any of this fan art.
Budget problems. Dialogue exposition delivery needed.
Like Godzilla.
That was a VERY nice Ratchet, mind you.
I do have her legends one I wish they made some more of her, I liked her animated appearance the most and the turbines are kinda meh doesnt fit her sleek jet form as much. I really love windblade though and I need her still
Oh, did you get her from Nippon Yasan?
Ohhh, I suppose I should give it another try then..
ctd? There's a few mods for crashes, stutter remover, 4gb patch, etc, etc.
>dont have many quest mods
Ahh, I see. Just sticking to the sexual mods, lewd Slipstream-user?
>familys fight, some more than others but dont worry she loves you at the end of the day
Ohhhh, thank you... I'll try to always remember this.
>Once you lose that connection it can be hard to get it back after so many years
I hope you're not speaking from experience.. you're a very kind user and I hope you're doing well.
You should get the Kreon for Slipstream/Slipstrike!
And if you were the user that tricked me with that distinction last time, I'll cut you >:c
No. It was me.
actually I got her from bigbadtoystore I saw it on sale and I missed out on the nippon yasan deal.
yeah I gave up might play my heavily modded fallout 4 its better than nothing I suppose.
>I hope you're not speaking from experience
I do but things have been slowly getting better now.
>You should get the Kreon for Slipstream/Slipstrike!
I will look it up see if I can find her does she come with many sets?
What's good is that you have her now.
>Kreon
She's actually a single pack, hopefully she's easy to get. It was originally a blind bag.
Grrrrr, I'll get you
>bbts
>tfw Canada
>Fallout 4
>tfw toaster laptop
I wish I was Slipstream user
>things have been slowly getting better now
I'm glad, I'm really glad!
>sets
She came in the series 4 blind-bag set. The wiki has the bags and their codes. I think Dollar General(?) had Kreons now and then in the states, but there's also new bags with updated tampos/parts (they're not compatible with the older ones!) and you'll have to feel for them manually, and the instruction/catalog booklet is thick too, so sad. So maybe take a look around in stores/online or just buy a whole box!!! You'll get Roddy and Kup and a buncha other neatos as well, and you can send me your duplicates!
are there any recommended fanfics? I assume there's an ocean of shit, but a few are bound to be good, right?
Any timeline/incarnation/whatever, would prefer G1 or G1 inspired tho.
My Kreon fanfic will be amazing(?), but I haven't written anything down aside from posts literally on Yea Forums
Marvel UK (including Earthforce) and Regeneration 1 are p G1 if you've already read them. Literally Roberts' Eugenesis was nice, it was from his days in this UK fanclub - he wrote like a 3 or 5 hundred page novel, about a Quintesson attack, and without corporate mandates or fanbase inputs he was able to do whatever he wanted. It's depressing, it's fun, it's wartime, it was p kino. Was trying to find other stories in the fanclub bc apparently it's in a timeline but I haven't found it yet
The Geewun Redone series on youtube was nice, a parody of the first few eps and a bit of CW
That's nice.
That art is pretty cute.
thanks, I'll read Eugenesis(bit of a pretentious name, but I'll reserve judgement until I've read it).
>Geewun Redone
this shit's pretty funny actually. Thanks for introducing me to it!
>That art is pretty cute.
It is, isn't it? Also helps that the two are cute together in general.
Never expected to be won over this hard by a girl and her robot, but well, here we are. I love seeing these two together.
You're nice!
No yeah, no, revisit the name after. I don't think it was meant to be pretentious at all.
tfarchive.com
No problem, user! Enjoy. Apparently the Liars, A to D comic (not that one) is supposed to be read before Eugenesis. Not sure whether it'll spoil or confuse you more, but maybe you'll find it enticing to read this doorstopper. (only 282 pages apparently)
Still love my buddy Rung
Kreon Rung is cute.
You're cute!
Reading tvtropes
>tvtropes
it's one of the few places with notes on Eugenesis so I don't have to re-read the whole thing
and Roberts still planned out a lot of stuff and added neat details. It's within the TransMasters UK continuity and makes references/fits well with that too, apparently. The story is depressing depressing depressing. There won't be many Tailgate or Rewind last-minute saves here.
>RungGod was always there for you, even if you didn't notice or remember him
>he was one of us, just doing his best and trying to be Good
>died for our sins, and a hopeful tomorrow
Rung was a good boy
I like planet Primus for action, but damn if Rung wasn’t great.
It’d be neat if someone made some fakes by inserting Rung in alongside Rodimus in G1 screencaps. Or added Shatter and Dropkick to the first episode.
Yeah, I was expecting/looking forward to planet Primus and/or Quints bc muh geewun (Marvel) and "of course Roberts will", respectively. Kinda funny how neither came into play at the end...
I get the need to make OCs sometimes, mildly annoyed that it'd be hard to get toys of them if you liked them (but not impossible, thanks to Kre-Oooooooo), but I see the necessity esp for a whammy sorta reveal like Rung.
>tfw Wheelie's the only orange Autobot or Kreon suitable to make Rung, but you can't make them too similar or otherwise it's just Wheelie
I could just say he's both? Wheelie retires from cartography/military, becomes a post-war therapist and changes his name...
>inserting Rung in alongside Rodimus in G1 screencaps
That would be pretty neat. We'd get a lot of
>this unicron-worshipper doesn't remember Rung from the cartoon
>says Rung isn't G1
"Go back to ledit, zoomer"
>Shatter and Dropkick
Aaaaa I still haven't seen Bee, I saw the vaporization webm which made me kinda squeamish, but I haven't been spoiled of anything. Aaaa I want to see it but I don't want to do any work to see it aa
Why did it think this was spam..
Go see Bumblebee!
yep and im very happy
im actually canadian as well I got it off the website
Dropkick kills like two people, and one Transformer. One of the humans dying is portrayed as a joke. Shatter just beats up Bumblebee, and lets Dropkick get his hands dirty otherwise.
The effect was intentionally comical. Knight wanted some humans deaths to make it clear there were stakes for Charlie and Cena, but didn’t want to scare the kiddies. So he just kind of turns someone to water, like the Wicked Witch but with no steam and in only like a second.
Men In Black 1 comes to mind.
I hope they keep the feel and tone of the BB movie.
It had a very "Disney Channel" vibe, even in the color choice of it. It's not as smokey and grey as Bay's version.
*disney channel movie vibe I mean
But I don't want to watch it alone while sober, it's lonely watching movies and I stopped watching trailers I went over this.. Ohhhh 18 mins until I get the movie, I even have the I think Bluray for the 86 movie that I never ended up rewatching (like 6-8 times total, but it's been years)
I might opt to buy beers and chips and come back home and watch it or sth. Can I talk to you guys about the movie after..? My friends don't really watch the stuff I watch, and Yea Forums is a scary place
Woaoaoaooah, what how
I thought shipping sucked a lot for bbts and other stores?
>tfw saw this either on /toy/ or on social media, had a chuckle, then saw it at Wal-Mart a few times
>inb4 Slipstream-user is from the same province
>city
>inb4 I'm Slipstream-user
aaaaaa
Ehhhh?
Hmmm. I suppose that's fine..
>one Transformer
I heard Cliffjumper kept dying in TF media, I really hope he doesn't show up to die in BB, that'd be so sad...
>show mommy Kreons
>look here's Bumblebee and here's Cliffjumper, I finally got him!
>tfw mommy says sth like how Cliff looks too similar to Bumblebee so he hates him
:c
Slipstream? More like Dripstream! Hehe, more like I wanna slip my stream of semen into her exaust ports until they gum up with my cum.
Idk if it was nostalgia or the medication but TF 1 and 2 were okay. Sam, Megan Fox, soldier guy, and based Simmons were fun and consistent characters - albeit taking the spotlight from the bots, but again, Sam is arguably the Bayverse version of Hot Rod
>inb4 Hot Rod is the Bayverse version of Hot Rod
I saw a bit of 4, turns out I recorded 3 but 4 got deleted or sth. Some characters didn't come back but I hope they bring back Simmons. Movies with mommy are good when we're in good moods, but sometimes she's busy and cranky so I might have to watch some of these alone..
What did he meant by this?
I think it's really weird Ryohei Kimura voices Charlie in these shorts.
I'm sure you'll figure it out, you electron microprocessor!
it's mostly for amusement
Well, Bumblebee is supposed to be narrating.
I felt it was more like an 80's film vibe, but I agree, I hope they keep it feeling like this.
>Can I talk to you guys about the movie after..?
Sure.
It took me a disappointingly long time to realize that Bumblebee was set in the 80s.
How long?
Not even 4 minutes into the movie, it outright tells you it takes place in 1987
He could have missed it, though.
ffs I had a coworker who thought Wonder Woman happened in World War 2.
About eight hours after I watched it.
I must not have been looking at the screen when that happened.
So you went in thinking it was a full reboot from the start and not a prequel?
Yes. I only watched the first Bayformers movie, and that was 11 years ago. Bumblebee coming to Earth for the first time and teaming up with a cute girl instead of a neurotic nerd was enough to contradict everything I remember from it. I just thought the cassettes were an attempt to give her hipster appeal and the mentions of Russia and the Cold War were meant to be topical.
>Bumblebee coming to Earth for the first time and teaming up with a cute girl instead of a neurotic nerd was enough to contradict everything I remember from it.
Yes, it was very refreshing. It ended up being a reboot after all, hopefully the next movies are good as well.
Will they give /ourguy/ any screen time?
Gateway did nothing wrong
this
cringe
I know, Knock Out is GAY.
>The whale calf returns to its mother’s side, having had a full day of adventure. Although it is ready to see the world, it is not yet prepared to go it alone. The two return to their pod, and are accepted back into the fold.
Well done.
such a beautiful scene.
I legit cried just a little.
Kino
Sad.
After how shit Bumblebee was? Not at all.
She understood she had to let him go, his duty is more important.
No no. Sad as in pathetic.
That Optimus Prime couldn't come earlier? Yeah, where was he? Anyway it was Bumblebee's movie, it kinda makes sense.
No no. Sad as in I can't believe they lured you suckers into the theaters.
Look, I watched the other 5 at the theater, what's another?
Pretty much
I’ll see any Transformers movie in theatres
I went with no expectations on opening day at an early showing to watch Bee, I had a frankly terrible time at the movies due to the seats being almost empty except for a loud soiboy with a gf behind me who wouldn't shut up.
But I wanted the Bumblebee popcorn holder so I went again next day with my cousin, this time it was full. Pleasant crowd, I managed to enjoy the movie. Turns out I loved it, last year had plenty of great movies in December.
Huh. I wouldn’t have expected Starscream to get a toy before Blitzwing given he didn’t even have a speaking part.
Why didn't they name him Ramjet instead of Blitzwing? Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Blitzwing as the name, but Ramjet would have worked better.
because Megatron will be the triple changer tank jet.
fuck i dunno
Maybe they wanted to set up Blitzwing as a Triple Changer for another movie?
What the FUCK did you just call me
Woah
I accidentally cornered/pressured Roberts into giving us a neat answer about Getaway
>start asking about the scraplets and ask if it hurt
>yes it would be extremely painful
>but but he saw Primus, did he find peace at the end ;_;
>one may think that before the shock of the pain his last conscious thoughts were one of peace
Best boy
No idea. And this movie showed that triple changers can be done well.
Now double it.
Perhaps they don't like the name Ramjet?
>this movie proved Travis can do Bayformers better than Bay
It's funny how you can identify all the parts that goes to which vehicle as opposed to "dude aliens, make them fucking incomprehensible"
Would be better if Blitzwing and them were actualy the right size for robots that turn into aircraft. They were pitifully small.
Optimus too, his truck mode is like 3 times bee's size but the robot is tiiiiiiiiny.
Autism.
At least the first two movies made sense. By the third one they started doing nonsensical robot modes.
Shatter, Blitzwing and Dropkick are an upgrade from the first movie.
I got to do one of the early screenings
Yeah, those are usually good, I had bad luck. I swear he was all noisy whenever he caught a reference like that Nintendo Switch meme. To prove karma exists, he missed the ending of the movie due to having to go to work (I gather he went during his lunch break) so it wasn't completely bad.
No, Getaway bad, bad boy.
Bring him back! We’re lacking good fanfics right now.
Context?
I for one am hoping Soundwave joins the Autobots again in this continuity. Megatron doesn't deserve a retainer that competent and loyal. I mean, name a single continuity where Soundwave has been rewarded in some way for his loyalty to Megatron. You can't because there isn't one.
Does getting rebuilt count?
In the 4th movie Bay just shredded the car parts inside out so you couldn't tell what part was what. Which then becomes the opposite of eye candy, just overdesigned, impossible to be memorable designs.
>Drift is the only one you can kind of tell turns into a car and that's because he has wheels
Prime and Bee don't even look like they can transform, and Hound looks like a crap pile
I wouldn't count it. It would be commonsense to rebuild one of your most competent soldiers.
What the fuck is Bumblebee? Looks like a car exploded and someone took the wreckage and shaped it like a robot.
Yeah, but it was Galvatron who is the opposite of common sense.
Optimus just turns inside out, which is as bad as a shellformer, The charm of transformers is how the robots look like they're wearing a car as opposed to hiding everything that was the car.
They were trying to go for an organic, sharp insect like look for bee.
Best designs
Wish Hasbro came out with Studio series Blitzwing so chinks can make the rest of the seekers.
>They actually made a workaround for the coneheads
God
I love this movie
True! But that's Galvs, who's practically a corrupted version of Megatron. They're not really the same person, at least not entirely.
No restricted articulation, either.
At one point you have to stop and ask yourself, have I gone too far?
When Optimus came back to life I think Galvatron regained his memories of being Megatron.
When the director stops giving a shit, everyone does. There's no reason to watch TF if you can't even get the eye candy right anymore.
They basically bribed him back. This was a man that was 200% done. No wonder he was very supportive of Knight, he wanted out.
>90% metal
The rest is just energon then I guess.
That comic is 90% just wrong.
Superiority went up to his head.
Autism.
Mass Displacement is canon in fiction.
Scale is for whiners.
Soundwave in IDW became the true Optimus of the continuity, as a hero remembered forever by future generations.
>Warframe
>Mechaghidorah after Godzilla tears off one of his heads
>Dark Souls boss
All of them look like Final Fantasy
Is that what it looks like these days?
The first was the only one I could stand.
The knights look like generic jrpg knights
Warframe is more like aliens imo
Nah. Totally segmented robots.
If you want to be even more technical, they look like tokusatsu monster costumes
Cool.
Ehhh? What do you mean.. I'm probs on the spectrum but still, that's so mean..
He was, but there's antagonists that you can love to hate, you know? And it's kinda poetic seeing a delusional antag getting some sorta closure before his fully deserved fate.
>bad boy
N-no
>tfw you've been a bad boy
>tfw no Arcee mommy gf to discipline you
Aaaaaa
Woah mama
The other 10% is love~ remember to hug your fellow Decepticons, especially your Kreons aaaaaaaaaaa
God Human!Slipstream would make my dick diamonds if she was wearing a suit and tie.
post sluts
He's probably 10% plastic, seeing as how wires need insulating
pic unrelated
Also umm
1) I exchanged Flywheels for Hound, idk if it's QC or just the figure but he seems meh..
>shoulder doesn't peg in all the way
>back harness thing peg pops out from the legs in vehicle mode
>weapon pegs are tight
The sale ends tomorrow, should I exchange for another Hound, get Sideswipe or Cog, or both? Ss seems neat but I was hoping to get Red Alert, and I've never owned two of the same mold before so idk how that might work out. Cog... uh, /toy/ likes him a lot? Mite b neat
Also um, I was gonna watch the Bumblebee movie maybe this weekend, if there was a good streaming thingy or a link I could use on rabb.it then I could maybe host? Mite b cool, idk let me know, apparently it's a good movie..
Need a movie where she kidnaps a boy and occasionally keeps him trapped in her cockpit
Storytime of number 4?
Yeah!
so i heard Arcee and Greenlight are lesbians, is that true or is some guy on /toy/ making shit up.
so kinda maybe then.
i think it's jarring this pairing, since Greenlight already has a waifu with Lancer.
That's a different universe.
Whoever's idea was to make Prime and co 1:1 with their toys should be shot repeatedly
Greenlight has a toy coming out. Rumors are that Lancer does too, but it hasn't been announced yet.
normally i'd say ok fair enough but there's this Lancer might have a toy soon...just seems jarring to me to make her and Arcee an item.
I'm upset because a reboot when we were one movie away from Unicron, and therefore the first instance of a planet-sized mech in live-action, happened to pander genwunners.
Protip: having Unicron would ALSO pander to geewunners.
The earth being Unicron just doesn't work in a practical sense,
Earth already have a huge chunk of Cybertron snagged into its surface. The planet is FUCKED anyway.
At this point I'm convinced they just hate their fans.
Just keep Optimus' design. No more creepy bot mouth.
u wot m8
What on Earth would that make you come to that conclusion?
Different universe, different romances.
Arcee has had a different love interest in each universe after all. Except Bay anyway, because it triggers his autism.
Because Earth is Atlas.
Its a fan who dislikes them having gender and romance who thinks the entire fanbase agrees.
Romance is the new Trukknotmunky.
>Hand-holding
Damn, IDW must be taking inspiration from Erik Larsen’s modern work!
>Arcee has had a different love interest in each universe after all.
I guess that's fair
every bot whose been her love interest
G1:
>Hot Rod (86 Movie)
>Springer (G1 Season 3)
>Bumblebee (Marvel)
>Chromedome (Headmasters)
IDW:
>Aileron
>Sideswipe
>Hardhead
Animated:
>Ratchet
Prime
>Cliffjumper
jesus christ no wonder why we meme her as a slut.
Don’t forget Jack/Daniel.
Wait...
>Arcee is that one girl you see with a different guy every weekend
I did not see anything romantic about her relationship with Sideswipe and Hardhead.
kill women, brothers
>Not wanting a single working mother to find love
She has a line about Hardhead, mentioning it wouldn’t work and implying her mental state at the time would have been toxic to him.
What characters do you wish had more interaction? What characters do you enjoy the dynamics of? Which characters do you wish had more time together, either resolving relationships in older continuities or forming one in future ones?
What character moments do you just really enjoy seeing?
For me, pic related. I wish these guys were the Decepticon equivalent of Junkions. Just crazy hoodlums who the Decepticons can’t control, who just pick fights and vandalize shit no matter where they go. Like a gang of teenagers, causing a massive headache for everyone but useful enough not to be killed by Decepticons and too immature/not dangerous enough to be killed by Autobots.
I don't care if she's lesbian, just...stick to one or two love interests because it sure doesn't help their 'cause' to have a same gender relationship with a character who already has had relationships with almost everyone. That and people already being ok with Lancer being with Greenlight.
TL;DR: Arcee is already the town's bicycle, if you want to turn someone gay with a new love interest, she is far from the smartest choice.
That's a nice headcanon you have there.
she was really close with them. I'm sure if either lived to the end of the run and Aileron not ended up there, she might've been with Hardhead or Sideswipe.
Anyone have a source for this pic? Image search returned nothing.
Greenlight has never been straight, and I think they are shying away from having the only other female Combiner in the west also having legs that are a gay couple.
I wasn’t implying its a thing that has existed, just that it's something I’d like to see.
Like the Insecticons, but a gang from the movie The Warriors instead of a swarm of world conquerors.
take your alzheimer pills simon
The artist is Mossa. He/she has a Twitter and Pixiv. I prefer the Twitter.
Not sure if that’s actually supposed to beSari, but it looks like her.
Have a Mossa Creepy Susie.
>gay legs
Why would that be an issue?
Gotta check Orthia's configuration.
Yeah, Greenlight is fine, the issue is Arcee. Also this reeks of Greenlight's future death, which means fridging, which makes the writers even more incompetent.
Maybe not.
It depends on if Arcee is part of the main cast, or gets sent away to another part of the war to show up every now and then.
Chromia and Windblade seem to be the main female characters for now. Elita either as a Decepticon, or a turncoat/spy that shows up here and there.
Also, it just seems repetitive. I can’t recall if Megatronia’s legs were gay or not. Or even what their personalities were.
Thanx!
If they do have Megatron in another Bumblebee movie, I kinda want to have him retain elements from his Bayverse counterpart (much like how new!Bumblebee retains some elements from Bayverse!Bumblebee... namely the face), like having his alt. mode be very alien to Earth vehicles, as well as being too proud to take another alt. mode.
Another idea would have Megatron's face seem regular when at rest, but splits apart to resemble his Bayverse self when angry or during a battle, to show his instability.
>Greenlight has never been straight, and I think they are shying away from having the only other female Combiner in the west also having legs that are a gay couple.
i think it's stupid. should just have Greenlight and Lancer still be an item.
I feel like at this point Arcee might as well be pansexual.
What about battle masks? Use the Beast Wars gimmick that never worked until Bumblebee.
G1 regular face, and a mask of Bayverse when shit gets real. It’d even reverse-improve Bayverse to Geewunners like me, since you can just shrug and think he has a better face underneath.
Aren’t all Transformers pansexual?
Gender has no romantic or reproductive meaning to them. Its just another type of body, like being a shellformer or having tires on ankles instead of inside them or having a cassette alt mode.
Also, I posit the theory that the fans most interested in Transformers romance are Beastfags. That cartoon had two romantic couples, Rattrap was a mild pervert, and whatever you interpret Rampage and Transmutate as. Its normal from the start for Beastfans, whereas people from the previous generation saw gender itself awkwardly handled and dismissed and the only romantic couples being with humans or in Japan as an excuse to have civilians.
If they do have Megatron in he should be a triple changer to appease to both Jet Megatron fans and Tank Menatron fans
Funny that Chromia has never been canon lesbian, even though she is depicted as one in plenty of fanon. Her romance with Ironhide gets plenty of nods if both are available in each continuity.
And no, none of Megatronia's component are gay, so far.
Primus, she is beautiful.
I mean romance did exist in Sunbow with Elita-1 and her crew being the gfs of Optimus and his crew.
and of course Arcee with Hot Rod and Springer.
>What characters do you wish had more interaction?
Combaticons, Dinobots, and seekers and I wish there were more rivalries between individual Autobots and Decepticon teams. Like how in Marvel the Dinobots and Predacons had beef with each other.
>What characters do you enjoy the dynamics of?
Soundwave and Shockwave hating each others guts but being forced to work with one another is always fun. Also Soundwave being forced to work with Autobots is always fun and a reoccuring phenomena in TF comics. I enjoy it because he's probably, out of all the major Decpeticons, the only who can be reasoned with.
>Which characters do you wish had more time together, either resolving relationships in older continuities or forming one in future ones?
Skywarp and Thundercracker have potential for an awesome dynamic.
>What character moments do you just really enjoy seeing?
Cons actually giving a fuck about one another and actually having friendships they value. Also con and Autobot teamups.
I always talk about this with my friends. Despite Chromia having big lesbian energy based on her design, she's about the straightest robot of the girls, always being paired up with Ironhide consistently. Hell, she even got released alongside him in Siege.
Seconded.
Also, fuck it. I want a G1 Skyshadow. A comically corrupt politician who isn’t Starscream or an OC Senator or a Prime.
Well, she’s patterned after a female viking these days.
Makes sense she can be manly and straight.
I wonder if they’d be clever enough to throw in a reference to her liking tabletop games.
I think a big part of that is the fact Ironhide and Chromia actually got to interact again outside of the G1 cartoon and Mairghread Scott was against shipping Windblade and Chromia (i heard it's due to the fact she based their friendship on the relationship she and her irl sister had which would be pretty squick)
That's sweet, they consistently have each other if they exist in the same continuity.
>I wonder if they’d be clever enough to throw in a reference to her liking tabletop games.
That would be wonderful.
>Human, what's this?
>That's DnD, care if I explained you the rules?
>No use, I'll look'em up on your Inter-net.
>*several days later*
>Chromia, pls.
>No human, I can't stop, I'm about to level up. Roll that dice.
I keep picturing them going on a double date with Optimus and Elita, and it ending up like Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Wolf.
I think we all want that.
Funny how, if you put all of the Generations Deluxe Fembots on a row and you asked which one is the lesbian, chances are most would pick Chromia twice.
Or Nightbird.
I really wish she showed up more.
She got a toy, though, that's big. Wish she was released outside of Japan but at least out of the Decepticon trio she's the easiest one to get.
>ChromiaxIronhide is a multiversal constant
If I were writing TF, Nightbird would be Soundwaves go-to, most trustworthy ninja/spy and she'd be the most reoccuring Decepticon fembot. She could even still be manmade like in G1 except the Decepticons stuffed a spark in her so now she's loyal to the cons for giving her what is essentially a soul. Unfortunely for Nightbird she still has a bunch of human stuff in her memory banks like ancient Japanese history, human martial techniques, basically her "memories" are that of a 1500s ninja because the Japanese dude who built her, built her to be a museum bot for a Sengoku era exhibit or something.
Isn't that just the same exact way that Orion Pax and Megatron greeted each other in issue 1?
>Rumors
It's not a rumor when Hasbro hinted it themselves
>Rattrap is Arcee’s “nephew”
>Arcee is considered part of Elita’s female commandos in some continuities
>In Japanese media, Transformers assume family units after exposure to human culture
>Rattrap is from the post-G1 future
>IronhidexChromia is a universal constant
Rattrap is Chromia and Ironhide’s son!
I like this.
But I’d add my headcanon that since Earth is Primus and Unicron’s sibling, her Spark came from Earth. As did the Sparks of the Dinobots.
>Rattrap is Chromia and Ironhide’s son!
... You know
That explains a few things
Would she secretly want to be human or is she alright being a robot?
>for years Arcee and Hot Rod were considered each other's love interest
>Susan Blu her voice actor also says that she thought they were an item, stating it on the movie dvd
>consistently shit on Hot Rod by making Arcee a dyke
To be fair, there are plenty of legit reasons to shit on Hot Rod.
It's been over 30 years, let it rest.
>shit on him for not being Optimus
Why can't fags die? They bitched the entirety of Beast Wars because Primal wasn't Prime.
She also said she ships Arcee and Springer, so who knows.
She is fine being a robot however it's very confusing for her. Again, her memories are that of a Sengoku era ninja who's loyalties were towards a human warlord, however, she knows this is all fake and are just there because of programming . That being said she can't help but feel attachment and nostalgic towards things like ink wash paintings, the weaponry of the era, etc. What's worse is that the Decepticons are a potential threat to humanity yet she has no choice but serve their cause out of gratitude towards Soundwave (who carried out the operation to implant the spark) who'd be her "lord" so to speak. Meanwhile she'd probably see Megatron as her emperor or something.
Arcee x Springer > Arcee x Hot Rod
Should I start a new thread for storytiming the issue 4? I can't remember Yea Forums's image limit.
Image limit's 250 so it's your choice
Imo you should do it here so that more people can see it. Also this issue was GREAT. I'm so glad Cyclonus is back and with a supernatural angle to him once again.
Ok, thanks. Might as well do it here then.
>Prime and Megatron look perfect on the cover
>Terrible blocky 1:1 toy accurate versions used inside
She's asked on the dvd for the movie about the question of whether Arcee was with Hot Rod or Springer, she says she always thought Arcee was with Hot Rod, particularly because they had more scenes together.
ironically Sue Blu herself is a lesbian.
Yeah, I noticed that too, might be like wanting the character be defined by itself and not by the actor.
I'm already loving mystical hermit Cyclonus.
I mean George Takei never saw Sulu as gay at all and actually didn't care for them making Sulu gay in the Star Trek movies.
welcome Barricade.
That's nice. I guess this Nightbird can speak.
Actually he did, he didn't want them to make Sulu gay because it contradicted the canon.
So who exactly is Termagax or Codexa and what is their role? What did Prime want to talk about in the last issue? I'd like to know already.
>Prowl works with both Barricade and Starscream in security
Damn
ok the comic is starting to pick up.
Is that Beta?
Yep. Although she wouldn't really have to talk often. She probably spends a lot of her time alone or with Soundwave and talking to a telepath is pretty pointless. My Soundwave doesn't even bother listening to what people have to say or conversations, he just probes peoples thoughts and gives an immediate answer; he's difficult to talk to because of this.
I'm still confused as to what Megatron stands for. Is Termagax a religious leader or something?
that sounds very cute id love to see that
Having better artists for the start and end of the issue sure helps.
Rodimus is a great character. Just not a great replacement.
I was going to say it would work with Decepticon infighting because of the chaos of the Sengoku era, but then I remembered
>Ninja
who were known for an insane degree of loyalty.
But that just gives even more complex character for her.
>Do the oaths to Megatron hold for Galvatron? Skorponok? Mega and Giga? The Tripredicus Council? Devil
Z? Bludgeon?
>Soundwave is the father of her soul, and a human is the father to her body. Who does she bring glory to the name of?
>When the Decepticons are routed and her oaths are fulfilled, can she make a contract with Autobots or humans?
>Can she accept an offer for a position of nobility?
>Does she dare train others? Create others?
Two females.
One is Sakamoto’s qt motorcycle, right?
Oh shit, Moonracer is the baby of the Female Autobots.
Missed opportunity for a Swindle or Octane.
I like the priestess’s design.
One thing I hate about this art, aside from its general indistinct and undetailed bloches style, is that none of the generics or even prominent new characters actually look like they turn into anything. Miline’s style might not have been for everyone, but he designed alt-modes for half the bots he drew, even super one off ones, and the other half he didn’t still looked like they had one anyways.
This art barely looks any better than Livo’s, and it feels like it was made with way less effort than even his stuff.
who are these?
Terma founded the movement that wants to bring the colonies back under control and spread Cybertronian culture and have more freedoms at home. Clearly there was a conflict, and some extremists branched off while Terma has allowed herself to become rooted in monk-like isolation among the corpses that presumably died in the fight.
Megatron is the current leader of the moderates, and is sick of being blamed for their actions.
Optimus is a moderate Autobot, and dislikes the other factions which he shares with Bumblebee. The extremist Autobots are political schemers, and want to maintain the status quo of control while leaving the rest of the universe to fend for itself.
The evangelists don’t seem to have goals. They just annoy everyone else.
The colonies are all warzones.
>Left looks like it would transform into a jet/triple changer
>Only turns into a truck
That's actually kind of neat
I like the art of both.
But yeah, its missing a lot of character. I’ve stopped trying to spot existing characters. I guess it makes sense, most of these characters probably die or flee and the familiar ones are casualty replacements. But I’d still like to spot characters and think “Its that guy! I know him/can look him up! I hope he shows up again!”
I think everyone knows that.
Two nobodies who appeared for a few panels and were basically made to be extra mauve-shirt guards for edgy psychic slasher villain Sunder(pic related) to graphically turn inside out into mis-transformation balls. And then despite presumably recovering were never seen again.
>who were known for an insane degree of loyalty.
Yes. Although if Soundwave demanded it and particpated in some Decepticon infighting, she would particpate since her loyalty to him>all the other cons. That and Soundwave always sides with Megatron anyways.
>But that just gives even more complex character for her.
I imagine her oath only applies to Soundwave and through Soundwave, Megatron. So I think that as long as Soundwave were willing to serve a Megatron who had become Galvs, she will comply.
>Can she accept an offer for a position of nobility?
Possibly although I imagine her refusing it or being hesitant before accepting that kind of promotion in status. She wants to fulfill her role as a servant in the shadows and making herself more renown among the ranks would probably hinder her.
>Does she dare train others? Create others?
My Nightbird would probably be willing to spar with Sixshot since he's the Cybertronian equivalent of a shinobi, she might actually be more willing to train under him than to train others.
>Shoulderbot
Minicons confirmed!
Sunder was horrifying. Not sureI’d want to see him return though, he’s kind of one-note and only really serves the psychologist plots.
>Terma founded the movement that wants to bring the colonies back under control and spread Cybertronian culture and have more freedoms at home. Clearly there was a conflict, and some extremists branched off while Terma has allowed herself to become rooted in monk-like isolation among the corpses that presumably died in the fight
Oh that's actually really good. Now that I can dig.
Well, except in the movie. Soundwave may have been the only one loyal enough to risk his life to save Megatron, but stayed silent regarding the killing of the injured and may even have been in on it with Astrotrain.
damn we really did not deserve Milne.
I'd like to see those two pop up again.
Sunder....could probably be ok with never seeing him again. Hopefully this version of Froid won't go as crazy.
Wasn’t he the one who taught her how to transform in Legends?
It has good subtext too.
There was a war, just no murders.
Cybertronians have rationed Energon and population control. Weapons require Energon to fire.
Giving citizens as much as they want gives them the ability to fight, unchecked population growth makes shortages anyway. So even if its not the goal, the result of the proto-Decepticon belief is war and conquest. The extremists just have it as a goal, the moderates just have it as a possibility they’ll address when they get there.
So you have good Decepticons and nasty ones. Like in IDW, Marvel, and the Japanese continuities.
I thought that last guy was oryx
>Prowl looks like disproportionate shit
Wow this art is bad.
This comic needs more expressive art
It's weird too cause Soundwave was also the one to carry him away moments ago bridal style back to the ship during the retreat.
>Wasn’t he the one who taught her how to transform in Legends?
Yep. The whole six clan did technically.
Roberts was maybe too edgy for his own sake.
Maybe his plan was to kill off the famously traitorous Seekers and Insecticons, but Starscream turned it around on him? After all, he dies and the cassettes do too. So maybe he had to choose between Megatron and them?
Megatron would have understood.
>Sunder
I'm sitting here looking at a little orange disc that becomes a toy bird and wondering what possible connection that edgy IDW character has to it.
Megatron would have understood.
Maybe someday there will be some good writing to go along with it.
Well, Ravage makes it even by going back in time and preventing the deaths in the movie.
Sundor couldn't clear legal so they renamed him Sunder.
>traitorous Seekers
Skywarp was loyal, and Thundercracker once tried to sabotage a Decepticon weapon, but that was more to get Starscream in trouble than anything else.
Soundwave would have gone to retrieve Megatron as well.
>Optimus and Ironhide trying to start shit with Megs during a goddamn funeral
>Autobots openly hostile towards those religious dudes for no reason. They seem to just be obnoxious and nothing deeper than that from what we've been show.
>Someone just tried to assassinate Megatron and yet the security isn't making a big deal about that despite Megatron being a goddamn senator.
I usually never root for the Cons in any continuity but oof.
Are they different characters then? Is this like the "two Tankor" situation? I don't know the Jap bots all that well, but I got the little orange birb and can't picture him feasting on terrible memories or killing folks for fun.
Eh, Skywarp betrayed Galvatron once as Cyclonus.
There had to be some mutiny in him somewhere.
Also, Thundercracker tried to enlist Starscream as a subordinate in his rebellion if I recall. It just failed immediately.
I think Soundwave was dead at that point. Again.
I don’t know what happened to the other cassettes.
It's not about "canon", it's about what looks good and formidable on-screen. Everytime Dropkick turned into that weird tiny copter it looked silly as fuck.
Optimus hates factions in general. He’s the sole Autobot trying to bridge the gap, and Megatron is doing the same thing as the Autobots when he rejected Optimus’s earlier call for bridge building the two factions. Now he’s pissed at everyone around him.
Prowl mentioned how insane it is that now not only do they have to keep the Ascenticons from rioting while understaffed, but also protect them from assassination at the same time. Keeping the police forces low in strength seems to be an Autobot tactic to keep the peace by not having a large number of armed bots.
We don’t know much about the religious yet. But I’d bet they may be part of the reason the colonies are all the Cybertronian middle east.
Oh I know what the artist is referencing but my point is the same.
Yes.
That happens a LOT.
Helicopters are not very big, user. Even military ones unless they’re something designed to carry troops like a Sea Knight.

Yep, a Tankor situation. Completely unrelated.
No, I meant after Megatron was thrown off the ship had Galvatron not existed. From what I recall Laserbeak and Buzzsaw survived into the beast era though I think they died before the Axalon went back in time.
Not much he could do.
It also may have been his reformulated plan. Become leader, save Megatron. When that failed just play along with Starscream until he could save him later.
Not like he needed to worry about Megatron starving to death.
I see. I didn't catch that these last few issues and I swear I've been paying attention. It's kind of hard to follow for some reason and I'm not sure why.
Okay that makes more sense, I was about to be annoyed that small orange bird got turned into a hulking monstrosity edgelord.
It seems like they’re going out of their way to ensure choosing a faction to root for and fanboy/girl over isn’t choosing good guys or bad guys, but choosing what aspect of holier than thou and disregard of others matches your interest.
Its a clever tactic for sales. The fanbase can have legitimate “_____ did nothing wrong” discussions without it being a silly meme. You can also have unashamed love for a villain of any side too, without it being a highly controversial character reinterpretation that people bitch you out for liking.
I’m waiting to see what they do with the beasts though. If they merge beasts and G1 without the Maximal Unicron shit from the last IDW then there’s going to be a lot of good will.
Its just a lot of buildup for future payoff. I can’t see any big shit going down for at least three more issues, and even then probably either Quake or Risen.
I’d like to see a colony which could bring some decent action in, but there’s no natural way to go to one yet without spending an issue with the main plot on ice.

Oh wow, he is superior, indeed.
Hot damn, 500. See you losers in the funny pages.
