Another explanation.

Sinnertwin was complaining about the amount of Bumblebee toys shelfwarming. I knew what he meant, but since his name's "Sinnertwin" (named after the yellow G1 Terrorcon of the same name), I figured he liked the new Twinstrike figure (who is an homage to G1 Sinnertwin), and turned his dislike for a certain yellow character back in him by jokingly implying that he meant the other yellow character that he did like, playfully making it look like he was complaining about Twinstrike instead of Bumblebee even though I knew he meant Bumblebee. That's the joke.

And now that I've said that, I find this only appropriate:

I'd love to see a show like Batman: the Brave and the Bold, where every week Optimus teams up with a different Transformer against various villains, with a focus on the obscure and ridiculous. We seem to be in a rut now with "dark" storytelling and Optimus, BB, Ratchet, Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave being the core cast all the time. It'd be nice to shake that up.
... although there is Rescue Bots...

No no... You may be on to something here...

All joking aside :lol:

i honestly don't know. Its difficult to find that balance that would get the kids interested and the adults stick with the franchise. Personally, i'dwant to see a new, improved G1 for 2013, with their original '84/5/6 alt modes. I also find the whole backstories really interesting.

I always figured that was the point of the IDW comics series... it does G1 fanwank all the time, even going so far as to give us a direct sequel comic to G1.

Hasbro's committed to Aligned so I'd be stunned if we got a series set in any universe but that one.

Also, all the joking from above... yeah, it wasn't funny.

I would love to see a show that uses some Neo-G1 designs. It doesn't have to be a G1 series, but I would love to seethose designs. And while I do enjoy some of the CGI stuff, I would also love to see animation in the style of the MOTU remake. Not quite anime, but not quite typical Western animation either.

Maybe a mini series, with more powerful and self-contained story direction. There's also the potential for better budgeting, am I right?
