A question on frame types

Postby Avensis-Mahiya » Mon Aug 08, 2022 3:19 pm

Motto: "Peace through understanding"
Weapon: Saber Blade and Saber Laser
You'll have to excuse me if this has been answered before, whether on here or elsewhere. I've been noticing that recent TF series have been recycling the G1 frame type as opposed to more stylized designs. Is this due to Habro wanting to be more consistent or something else?

Motto: "Can't do a job halfway. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say."
Weapon: Saber Blade
It's a combination of brand consistency/recognition and the fact that many of the Hasbro people now in charge of Transformers grew up with G1 as kids and are thus big fans of it first and foremost.
