"Knowing your audience" points for me this week: 0Va'al wrote:'It's a toy show so he might not listen.' Pfsh.
I think this is the bigger issue, indeed. If they would treat a new Prime like Maketoys or Perfect Effect lately and keep the general idea of him while stepping out into untread territory I'd be much more ok with it. PotP OP was something I really wanted because it did something new (toy-wise) with the Orion Pax cab. All the other recent OP toys, as well as the upcoming Siege one, are just vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. Vanilla is fine but I need more than sprinkles. Tank Megatron isn't even vanilla at this point, he's unflavored snow cream - fun once or twice but after a short while it's just road grime and salt.Counterpunch wrote:In a way, we've always gotten the same characters, but if you step back to the Armada era, those characters had a wildly different take from year to year, line to line. If we can kind of go back to that, where Prime and Megatron have dramatically non-G1 takes, I think everything will be fine.
This is a fair point and I'm sure it went into the thought process behind the upcoming Flywheels. Personally, I really enjoyed how Battletrap felt more like a two-bot combiner than a Duocon, and had fun with both individual robots, so I'm probably in the minority on wanting that pattern continued.YoungPrime wrote:Battletrap is great as Battletrap, I don't even use his other modes which IMO were clearly sacrificed in order to make Battletrap what he is while combined.
