I hate G2 so much an dhis somes it up, but as this is a momeage it's so sh*t it's kinda kool. But where's all the patronising stickers, with stuff in whack fonts saying biff, pow, bang wallop, like 60's batman. Shattered glass prime was kinda G2ish, It shocks me when professional designers use rubbish fonts. YOu know lucky draw robot masters crayola convoy, which is a 3 year old colouring in a template of convoy in every colour felt tip to hand, well thats how G2 must of been designed. Kids can design something but given the option they will always go for the design by an adult. Whats worse is when adults think if they make things brightly coloured kids will go for it.
Even as a kid, I wondered why optimus prime had his name on the side of the trailer. Why my G2 sideswipe had iluminous green stickers. Kids always gor for the adult option, when will they realise that. Given the chice kids would rather play, GTA than Toy Story. Just becuase kids will design something using every felt tip, doesn't mean thats what they want, they are still learning. If you ask a kid to design a cake, they will put everything they like in it, but they won't eat it, becuase it taste like sh*t.
I'm really passionate about patronising designs, and characters such as Mudflap and Skids beeing allowed. As I'm writing this I see a flash advert of Movie Bot Wheelie, grrr, am I really supposed to look and think oh loo he's so goofy. Where's all the dynamics and style gone, why are they celebrating, something so tragic. I'm with the purse pinchers, I need to save money as there are people like Fansproject who still know what is good and G1 wholesome. Yes I'm G1 and proud, but G1 is more than something labeled G1.
There is good and bad in everything, in michael Bay added some good points but G2 was a big mistake, toy wise that is.
