See, this is a well thought out objection!AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Randomhero wrote:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Always appreciate a Fastball Special.. Still not keen on the colour scheme of Rodimus though. I'm sure there are in-story reasons (and by "coincidence", a new toy) but it's just not him. He was always a character that visually popped, black and purple are far too generic within Transformers.
Nobodies forcing you to ignore the past 30+ years of him being red orange and yellow. It’s one continuity and there is no official toy with that deco.
I'm neither being forced into anything, nor complaining. I simply said I wasn't keen on the colour scheme. Purple, Black, Blue are very predominant colours within Transformers. There is even one of the new characters in LL (name escapes me) that more or less shares the same palette, to the extent they can be visually confused.
The "leader" should usually be visually distinct within most fiction. Whether he is G1 Red/Yellow/Magenta et al in that respect is neither here nor there.

Nothing at all to do with the promotion an upcoming toyline. Nope, nothing to see here. (/sarcasm)
Not necessary. I agree that it was a condescending comment, but it was directed at AlphaBass. If AlphaBass has a problem with it, they can work it out between them. And if you absolutely feel the need to let Scotty know how you feel, either do it without name-calling, or do it in a PM.misfire19d wrote:ScottyP wrote:Bless your heart, sarcasm only makes you look smart when you're right.

This makes you look like a condescending prick.

Addressing the Elephant in the room, but when has this actually happened, post-1984???
Dream Wave, perhaps? Outside of that, which I haven't read so wouldn't know, No cartoon or comic I've seen has ever reused the 1984 framework. IDW certainly didn't, nor did Beast Wars/Machines and the cartoons that followed them. I see a lot of chatter decrying this as a certainty, but I don't know where the basis for it stems from?
Transformers isn't really in the same boat as say, He-Man. Wherein the 2002 cartoon & toys predominantly relied on appealing to the nostalgia of it's original fanbase. Mattel realised too late, that to exclusively fixate on the old fans is a liability to your future success IE The show and toyline were soon cancelled and other than a single comic, He-Man hasn't been onscreen and/or relevant to pop culture in 15/16 years.

IDW did do it though. Just last year with retconning hearts of steel. Transformers crashing on earth and fighting. Granted it was all the machinations if shockwave but it’s still happened
Armada did it too. The cartoon and comics had the minicons crash on earth and starting the war there.
Devils due did it too with their Transformers VS G.I. Joe series
And don’t forget about animated. That was the start too. Crashing on earth
Also you should probably go back and watch beast wars. It opens with the maximals and predacons fighting in orbit and crashing on earth lol
Also beast machines revealed they also crashed when they came home
Edit: oh! Don’t forget RID that also dealt with a ship crash landing on earth releasing a bunch of Decepticons

Moral of this story: Cybertronians are TERRIBLE Pilots.
