I'm sure the Rust Dust repaint was the wildcard of the team, a real joker, but the team had to discard her. She wasn't playing with a full deck, just got out of hand, and Megaempress had to deal with her. Plus, her colors didn't suit the combined form at all. I'm sure when Megaempress threatened to give her the royal flush, the little motorcycle thought she was bluffing at first, but eventually she realized she couldn't stay. She probably decided that, combined with the rest of the team, she was just getting lost in the shuffle. Given there are some pretty deceitful individuals in that team, she may also have decided she should leave the fold before she got played. She'll miss being in a full house, I'm sure, but it was better than being cut.
Oh, yes. This may be the best post I have ever read on this site!

"Stalker, haunted Starscream for a long time"
"Soundwave's assistant and medic"
"Spy for Shockwave, gave way to the ultimate evils charisma"
"Swindle, Quintessons, Unicron"
So this whole thing ends up being like the partner/significant other to the main cons? I'm trying to talk my way out of ordering this but it's not working

How long did it take you to write that? I am speechless.
20 minutes between my posts, so I assume about 15 minutes.
I'm glad it entertained people. It felt like a moral obligation - I mean, someone had to do it, right?
And yeah, anyone can quote it as they feel it necessary.
I'm gonna quote it again since it is so awesome. It took me a minute to finally read it and catch my composure again. The pun count was so high I thought Cobotron might not even be able to deal with it.
This needs signatured by someone. it's too good to be buried in this thread and not shown off
I'm surprised Va'al hasn't by now!
Too long, character wise. Burn would kick me out of bed.

primalxconvoy wrote:As for a female Megs, it just seems like a dialled-in Ghostbusters re-boot style thing.
She not a "female Megatron", she's Megatron's wife. You wouldn't call your own wife (if you have one) a female version of yourself, would you? Sure, she's colored like him, but there's tons of fictions in which husbands and wives look similar to each other. Why wouldn't Megatron want a wife made in his own image? He's that egotistical.primalxconvoy wrote:I posted it, not in agreeing with the politics behind the video, but due to it being a "female Megatron".
Best I can tell, the colors correlate with their elemental abilities:Munkky wrote:(are their colours paying homage to something? Or are they linked to playing cards somehow like their names?)

"Stalker, haunted Starscream for a long time"
It puts me in mind of Airachnid's characterization in the Japanese dub of Transformers Prime, obsessively chasing after "handsome boys" while calling them "darling" and "cutie". I'm feeling really bad for Starscream now.
"Swindle, Quintessons, Unicron"
I'm picturing Swindle and Trickdiamond working together as a con artist duo, like one of them pretends to be terminally ill and the other uses fake sob stories to extort money or energon from their target. I'm also imagining Trickdiamond talking like Tracer from Overwatch (CHEERZ LUV!!), and that's going to be my headcanon voice for her from now on.

Found these other translations for comparison:MemphisR56 wrote:Howzat? Thats my interpretation. Anybody differ on anything?
Rough translations:
MegatroniaThe strongest unite woman warrior is formed from the combination of Megaempress with her 4 Guards as limbs. Thanks to her fusion rail cannon being directly connected to the body's energy core, Megaempress's power is doubled, and she boasts of being in the top class of Scramble unite warriors. The glowing red edge of the unite sword Destopia [or Deathtopia] can use ultra-vibration to cut through any metal and even planets.
MegaempressIn Cybertron's underground, Megatron in his spare time manufactured parts to prepare as a base; once Megatron's equal, Megaempress ruled over the Woman Destrons. But Laserwave, fearing their/her presence, put her to sleep underground. She is the self-proclaimed wife of the Emperor of Destruction and Empress of the destrons. She is always accompanied by her body guards, who she has christened the 4 Guards and who possess specific abilities. The rail fusion cannon on her back has a destructive power comparable to Megatron's fusion cannon; using the "Judge Pickel" weapon, she can smash everything. She has a noble and greedy personality. She transforms into a destructive fire engine.
Lunaclub/LunacloverTo act as her guards, Megaempress created twin female warriors, of which Lunaclub is the younger. She possesses the ability to manipulate the power of fire. Her weapon is the fire sword Flame Sword. With her selfish personality, her mental age in the 4 Guards is the lowest. She specializes in acrobatic flight, flying carefree through the sky. In the olden days, Lunaclub was a fan of Starscream, shadowing him like a stalker. She transforms into an attack helicopter.
MoonheartTo act as her guards, Megaempress created twin female warriors, of which Moonheart is the elder. She possesses the ability to manipulate the power of water. Her weapon is the ice sword Blizzard Blade. Unlike her younger sister, Moonheart is always stable and coolheaded. A loyal soldier, she is close to Megaempress and excels in performing her missions. She specializes in acrobatic flight, flying carefree through the sky. She pines for Soundwave, who she originally worked for as a medicinal assistant. She transforms into an attack helicopter.
FlowspadeFlowspade is a ninja mercenary and escort to Megaempress. She possesses the ability to manipulate the power of wind. Her weapon is the tornado-causing shuriken, Tornado Cutter. She is actually a spy sent to infiltrate the 4 Guards by Laserwave, but she was charmed by the Empress of Destruction's charisma and so discarded the title of ninja and became Megaempress's faithful retainer. With no passion for either side of morality, her motto is simply to be fair and square. With all of her martial arts knowledge, her high arm can be used as a sword. She transforms into a stealth car with the ability to disappear.
Trickdiamond/TrickdiaTrickdiamond is the one who rebooted Megaempress, giving her Scramble combination functions. She possesses the ability to manipulate the power of the earth's core. Her weapon is the earth-shocking shield, Quake Shield. She is always faithful to her self-interest, but a drawback is that her intrigue always has a poor endgame. Through the underworld, she can procure a potential supply of weapons and information from characters such as Swindle and the Quintessons. Rumors abound that she has a backroom deal with Unicron. She transforms into a power car.
EDIT: The guy who wrote the above did a corrected version of Megaempress's bio:
Megaempress was created from spare parts from Megatron's construction in Cybertron's underground; once Megatron's equal, Megaempress formed and ruled over the Woman Destrons. But Laserwave, fearing her presence, stopped her functions and put her to sleep underground. She is the self-proclaimed wife of the Emperor of Destruction and Empress of the Destrons. She is always accompanied by her body guards, who she has christened the 4 Guards and who possess specific abilities. The rail fusion cannon on her back has a destructive power comparable to Megatron's fusion cannon; using the "Judge Pickel" weapon, she can smash everything. She has a noble and greedy personality. She transforms into a destructive fire engine.

I mean, at worst, the most disappointment comes from their bios defining them more based on each of their relationships to their respect male counterparts than anything, which, yeah, in this day and age, is legitimately not really a good thing. But the toys themselves and the Takara craziness behind them are being well received.Delta Magnus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Ermm, from what I saw, the Wiki/Allspark folks are loving this reveal, so not sure what you're on about.Delta Magnus wrote:Also, the knowledge that Walky and his brigade of numbskulls will probably be throwing a fit about them because SEXISM or something, and feeling the need to compensate by giving them snarky writeups on their sh*tty wiki fills my black heart with glee.

This is incredible. Now I really want the sixth member to be sold separately in the Legends line, and this needs to be her bio.
So this begs the question: What would her name be?
Someone send this post to Takara!

Rules are simple, I've got four cards, you have to find one, no catch to it. Four cards - the queen of hearts, the queen of clubs, the queen of spades, and your lady, the queen of diamonds. Combine them together, flip them around - keep your eye on your lady - split them apart, Which card is your card, sir? No sorry that's not it; she's over here. Have a try again but pay close attention! Scramble, scramble, scramble, where is the diamond lady, could she be... here, where you keep your energon crystals? And there she is! Pardon?

I don't object to Soundwave having an "Intern", it's also only fair that Starscream gets his own Cybertronian fan girl to reflect all the real life ones that exist as well as Megatron already having his own self identified "Fan girl" or two in previous lines.
That the ninja used to work for Shockwave as a spy is again perfectly fine.
I don't think their bios detract from them and they actually add interest to the Empress and their back story in general.
It's not so different really from how Bios for Banzai-tron often mention Bludegon or The special team member bios mention each other as a a common place feature.
You often read about things like someone suffering from a particular character trait and their team members having to compensate for that, or Magatron being displeased with someone etc...
I wouldn't find it unreasonable for example for a Bio for First Aid to reference Ratchet for example. and to say what they thought about them.
The only tiny concern I have is that it might have been nice to have the option of the chest minion... but that isn't impossible as a future side item I guess.

Speaking of which, I'd love to see a really unconventional looking combiner rather than the usual G1 blockfests. I mean I love a good G1 blockfest as much as the next guy, but what I'd really like is some of the classic combiners with aesthetics homaging some of the other more unusual designs from the Transformers franchise. So for example, an Animated-styled Defensor with Derek J Wyatt's cartoony, dynamic aesthetic, or a Computron done to resemble the elegant technorganic designs of Beast Machines/TransTech (so effectively some of the better BM Maximal design cues but applied to vehicles instead of beasts). Likewise, imagine an Abominus done like a Transmetal II, with grotesque biomechanical detailing, chrome, asymmetry and cloven hooves instead of regular feet!

I think green would make the most sense. I mean, after I looked up the highlighter thing, I saw that most packs of highlighters had a green one instead of a purple.
I'd say, in order of common-ness, the frequency of each time I saw the usual colors would be as follows:
1. Yellow
2. Pink
3. Green
4. Orange
5. Blue
6. Purple (most of the time purple was excluded, strangely enough...)
So I think green would be the perfect final color (if it ever happened, anyway). It would just wrap the bow on the LiteBrite Ladies perfectly.

I don't really think a 6th member would be appropriate for this team, as Mega Empress already seems to fill the "5th Suit".
I'm saying that since the 4 Guards aren't just based on regular playing card, but they also have elements of the Minor Arcana of Tarot, looking at elemental attributes for starters. The "5th Suit" is the Major Arcana, which act as Trumps. The Joker card of regular card decks comes from that set, being #0 (or #22) aka the Fool, and the Empress is also part of it as #3.

My grandfather had 4 daughters, my Mom being the youngest. He made it out just fine. The man's 78 but looks 50. Dunno how he did it, but maybe you'll handle it well like he did.
Now as for having 4 decepticon girls for kids like this, that has to be traumatic

I'll be switching some of the names around though. For me, Mega Empress just fits better as the combined form's name while Megatronia fits better as the name for the wife of Megatron even if it is cliched. That might just be because I think the combined name of Megatronia comes from too similar a place as Galvatronus. That and Mega Empress/Megaempress (is it pronounced as one word or two or do we even know yet?) sounds better as a combined mode name rather than a singular robot's name.
Trickdiamond and Flowspade will be switching names as well. This is mainly due to the wasted pun in Trickdiamond's weapon. It's essentially a spade. Yeah, I could just trade the weapons but I like which weapon "belongs" to which figure. Maybe I can just switch their suits. Trickspade and Flowdiamond?
Regardless, let's just hope that the legs on Megaempress will be assembled correctly like they were for United Onslaught. Not that it's a big hassle to "fix" (aka cut off the protrusions on the misassembled pieces), it's just that it's annoying.

How about Velocitron-style Stunticons?

Let's see... one can be called Mary... the other Sue...
And I'm dumb, I just realised their colors not only correspond to their element, but their "significant other" as well. Derp

A-frickin-+ reference, Mav.
Thanks! I read it and immediately thought of it, I assume DeadCaL was kinda referencing that as well

I may be going out on a limb here, but I suspect registering the patents for the parts new to the U.S. has thrown a wrench into directly importing UW Computron, among other things. Aside from Afterbreaker, the only figure with new parts is Strafe, the rest have all been registered (and approved) before (don't know if Scrounge is a pretool). Plus, the hands and feet are static pieces with less restrictions I'd assume. In contrast, UW Computron has:
- new parts for Scattershot, Nosecone and Lightspeed
- new parts for Strafe, who is based on a not-yet-registered toy (Blast Off)
- new accessories
Getting all that legalised may have taken too much time, so with a few short cuts the US got a "redeco Computron", more or less.
I understand with Scattershot as he appears to have been retooled by Hasbro and then further retooled by Takara, but Afterburner appears to have been retooled first by Takara, so, were the guns on a separate mold sprue? That's the only reason I can think of for them not including the new guns on Afterbreaker.
This of course asuming the molds were retooled in the order I suggest

I think I read somewhere that Afterbreaker was actually all Hasbro, with only the guns by TakaraTomy.
