Cheetor was more Hot Rod to me, with maybe a little bit of Bumblebee (but not a lot)

Dinobot -> Grimlock works in a Marvel G1 sense, not so much Sunbow though.

Non. I thought they were all their own unique characters and they stand by themselves. Not everything is g1 or has to be like g1.


Although i admit, terrorsaur was a total starscream. But that's it!

I don't think that's the spirit behind this thread. Just that what did these characters make you think of compared to G1? I know I sure had those thoughts.

These are all brilliant. :APPLAUSE:

Here's some of my thoughts:
Rhinox to Wheeljack, maybe Omega Supreme?
Rattrap to Cliffjumper
Dinobot to Cyclonus

Waspinator to Rumble
Scorponok to Soundwave
Black Arachnia to.... Starscream? Think about it ;)
Inferno to Galvatron

But other than terrorsaur being a starscream, non of them made me think what g1 characters were they like. I thought they were their own unique characters with no g1 counterpart.


I think I'm just tired of the constant g1 stroking in this fandom that's built up over the last few years and it's starting to seep out. Nothing against this thread. I'll step out for a while now.

What about those of us who started on Beast Wars first and were incapable of seeing such analogues at the time, having never seen G1 back then?

Not that at all. It was just those of us who started with G1 as kids may have seen analogues.
