Yeah well that last season was pretty rushed and also we don’t always get a chance to see everything these characters can doAllNewSuperRobot wrote:sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Thanks!
It did feature in the instructions. But it's never been used, seen or acknowledged outside of them. Aside from the obvious question: "why would a Flier need a car mode?"
Because it’s cool
Serious answer there could be some cabins or on underground ruins that a flyer just can’t get into
The problem is the show didn't even hint that he had an alternate mode to the Dragon. I mean they at least showed his TM "roller skates" once or twice.

What
I'm finding it hard to explain, but basically the writers put too big a threat in the way and had to deal with it in ways that weren't satisfactory

I was shown an episode of Sunbow Season 2, wherein Perceptor is "driving" alongside Prime. Was that the third mode?

It was meant to be some form of a tank the cartoon would just make the microscope mode roll

ZeroWolf wrote:But how much input did takara get with the input of the series?

Sounds to me like you've never seen Gigano Dragon from DinoZaurs (a Japanese anime, known as Dinozone in Japan, made for Bandai as their own attempt to compete with Hasbro and Takara's Beast Era of Transformers):AllNewSuperRobot wrote:The Eastern Dragon wouldn't have made a very good toy though (much like the Snake design in general).

Serpentera did have Super Sentai counterpart. All of its MMPR footage was taken from Dairanger footage of Daijinryuu, a neutrally-aligned but singleminded cosmic being.ZeroWolf wrote:But how much input did takara get with the input of the series?

That looked horrendous. On par with Unicron Trilogy CG... I like how even there, they ignored how a snake body-type could feasibly bulk out into a robot, so they just "squeezed" him together.

Yeah, and the other clip has a better fight scene, too.AllNewSuperRobot wrote::lol: The infamous "O" face of the Unicron Trilogy...![]()
In that respect, I think more of that clip and a lot less of Unicron Trilogy.

Yeah, the various Zoids anime were also done by studios that had a better grasp on CG animation. Not as advanced as American CGI, but good enough for what they needed.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I vaguely recall a Zoids cartoon around the time of Armada that had a similar level of CG also.
Yeah, at the time, only Pixar was their better... Then came Dreamworks, Blue Sky, and everyone else who wanted to get in on the CG animation scene. Suddenly, it wasn't as special anymore.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:In hindsight it really shows how advanced Mainframe was with their understanding of CG.
Well... Ya weren't wrong.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I often joked with friends that the animation in the PS2 Transformers game was better than the show it was based on![]()
