Did you see the season 2 finale? The Autobots have no way to get back to Cybertron.

And humans are all cool about having giant beasts roam the earth?

Megatron is an alien jet and you complain about giant, robotic beasts? The Decepticons don't care about being "under the radar" like the Autobots.

And the humans wouldn't know about the Predacons just like they don't know about Transformers (other than conspiracy). How in the world could the humans be cool about something they know nothing of?

Not that they can do anything about it anyway, as has been shown a few times.

What an ugly, over-saturated, under-engineered piece of garbage. It looks like the designers decided to create a combination of TFA Prime and Cybertron Prime, throw some completely tasteless "beast" details onto it, and then top it all off with a horrendously ugly dull-gray mechtech-style weapon. Heck, the Cyberverse figure looks better thanks to its lack of cheating on the chest transformation, and the silver, normal-sized weapons.

This looks to be just one tier above the Rescue Bots figures.

Considering that, as of the Season 2 finale, the Decepticons are turning Jasper into New Kaon, I don't think there's any "under the radar" left for any Cybertronian. Humans may not have much interaction with Predacons, but they'll almost certainly know they exist.

The point being: why would they need to worry about disguises anymore? Earth has become a battlefield and humans are watching in the booths.

Yeah, let's just go back to the old Diaclone and Micro Change molds. That'll surely fix everything.

maybe thats the reason they chose a more battle ready alt mode.. alt modes are not only for disguises rite

If I were an Autobot I'd still be in disguise. Somehow "But I'm one of the good ones" just won't cut it if a lynch mob is gunning after mechanical alien invaders.

A lynch mob? No wait, a mob, period?! In this show?!! Surely you jest.

I agree with this. I thought you were trying to go the other direction, "even though the Decepticons are trying to turn Earth into Cybertron 2.0, the humans will somehow remain oblivious to the Transformers." But remember, alt modes aren't just disguises. They have practical uses of their own, such as rapid transportation, flight, durability, reconnaissance, and self-expression. The Predacons have savage alt modes which may have fire-breathing capabilities for all we know. I think the intimidation factor is big here. And also if you don't have transforming robots in Transformers it rather defeats the purpose, even if there's not a good story reason for them to use alt modes.

Well if they give them the same budget and half the episodes, we might see more than 5 people at the same time! Wouldn't that be a feat?

Looks like I'll be able to start overpaying my mortgage then.

Largely concurred...

Turrible.

Perhaps a less primary-color scheme would salvage...the 'bot mode isn't completely hopeless.

Meanwhile, the less-expensive Star Wars: The Clone Wars uses cheaper animation and can still populate entire galaxies.

An Optimus Prime toy that wears red, blue, light gray, and some yellow? What kind of insane world are we coming to?

Looks like beast hunters is the new G2...

These look awful! Cancelling pre order.

People keep saying he looks like Star Convoy, Cybertron OP, and Animated OP.













Ehhh... sorta?

Sabrblade wrote:Ehhh... sorta?

Inspired by, not identical. Especially in the front of the cab and angled windows. Also, he's got those tall shoulders like Star Convoy; they're not the same design-wise obviously, but they're tall, and the comparison is certainly there to draw on, particulalry when you're noticing the similarity is the design of the upper torso.

Kamex wrote:Looks like beast hunters is the new G2...

Well, yes. Beast Hunters, similarly to G2, contains the same characters with new accessories, and will more likely than not introduce numerous new molds in later waves.

However, G2 also contained (through the beginning) G1 figures with tweaked, garish decos. The only one with a tweaked color scheme is Soundwave. Bumblebee is still black & yellow. Wheeljack is still primarily white, red, and green. Optimus is still primarily red, light grey, and blue. Airachnid is still black & purple w/ gold.

An Optimus Prime in red and blue and gray that resembles previous versions of Optimus Prime? Inconceivable!

There's a big difference, in that G2 came several years after G1 ended, and was just a cheap and easy way for them to try to revive the brand, and wasn't tied to any cartoons. Beast Hunters, on the other hand, is merely an extension of a current line that's still in production, and is based directly on a cartoon.

Mostly in the front of the truck.

Cybertron OP,

I never got this similarity.

and Animated OP.

Again, mostly in the front of the truck.
