Let's just call it what it really is.
A really poopy fan fic
Honestly, the idea had merit, but the execution was bad. If given another chance, I think the idea could work if put in the hands of someone with more care and competence to make it work.ZeroWolf wrote:Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I, personally, wouldn't even dignify calling that an adaptation.

Now now, people can call it whatever they want as long as we all agree that it was terrible. I'm okay with the idea of what ifs but this was just bad.

WOW. We're indeed on the same page, but I didn't think my slight insinuation would get things this negative. I agree completely that said Deviation was awful, but feel the approach was also wrongheaded considering the original Marvel adaptation also showed Hot Rod not interfering, but Megatron shooting Op to death anyway...Sabrblade wrote:Honestly, the idea had merit, but the execution was bad.

There was one really awesome (and at times, hilarious) adaptation of TFTM written lovingly by Jim Sorenson awhile back, titled "Echoes and Fragments". It was mostly text-only, with only a small number of illustrations, but it was a blast.Bumblevivisector wrote:WOW.

But you know what? IDW should do more adaptations of TF:TM. They could start by adapting that old Ron Friedman draft where Unicron was "Ingestor", he made his new 'Cons out of life-sparks, Op's life spark stood in for the Matrix, the Anibots combined into Dragonbeast to fight Devastator, and the Autobots on Junk faked their deaths with what sounded like the Decoys growing to actual size...
...and then the following summer, they could adapt Flint Dille's 'The Secret of Cybertron' script! And maybe that could lead to adaptations of Sunbow episodes including extra stuff from scripts and those extended audio recordings that popped up a few years ago...
...but alas, I'm still almost a decade behind on IDW's old continuity, and haven't really been keeping up with this year's comic offerings. Partly a side effect of saving up for this awesome Unicron.

I really really like the idea of it but yeah, overall that's a bit of a mess. Some fun concepts though that hopefully carry over.ZeroWolf wrote:That looks like a mess and a half. Glad they abandoned it,not everything needs a city mode!

I see the entire structure and I just can't stop thinking that looks like a pregnant woman in childbirth
Wow, that's really cool looking, but probably best they scrapped the idea. I'm of the mindset to do one thing and do it well.Bounti76 wrote:
