Not PC?

So are we just gonna glaze over the fact that Moonheart uses her charms to get the Autobot Combiner team "excited" and then CUTS OFF THEIR "PEGS" AND LICKS THEM AFTER!?

WTF JAPAN.

Are parents in Japan expected to get these for their children? I mean, this is Japan's version of Combiner Wars after-all...

...I do love the art style and curves though.

in the bold.Fighting pose? It's like a short 5 page comic. You fit the images as the medium allows. As for the cutting off the parts, ever think how despite their kawaii appearance, the Woman Destrons are just as deadly or much much worst?

I know this is a venue for free flowing ideas but how I'd wish we could argue about how dark is Unicron's blue in the HB over the Takara or how Sabrblade is always correct and never makes mistakes on his conclusions or how like a broken record RatedX is on how Hb/Takara is scamming us.....all fair game.

But when it comes to, Arcee being made too kawaii or how the opposite gender is labeled...everyone gets offended. This is TF and like please keep the real world scrap ( i.e. PC, SJW, liberal line of thinking (the in thing/hip for now) politics out?

What is the matter with you? I was not getting offended. Why are people getting offended at me getting offended when I'm not offended? Maybe I SHOULD be offended!

I was wondering why Luna Club is in this weird pose:



Come on. That's not fighting. She's pressing the handle of her sword onto her crotch. She even has her legs splayed out. Nothing about this looks non-suggestive. Even for a Japanese person this should look suggestive at the least, and sexual at the most. That's not even a natural pose for combat. It's her flying through the air and covering her t**t.

Also, if you think I'm being PC, why can't we all just do that in public then, hm? Let's just all be nudists or something while we're at it.

Luna club is characterized as ditzy, man crazy or can manipulate male 'bots. Hence manga style, it is exaggerated as such hence her pose (please read on the manga artstyle backgrounds on how to exagerate a particular character's personality). That's why you have big doe eyed young looking gals meaning friendly and pure while bad guys or not so friendly guys have narrow eyes etc.

As for the parts of the human body (which I did not/never mentioned as I emphasized your remark on the "children" being targeted by Takara), you did know that Arcee was based on a nude Princess Leia ? Nothing suggestive about that either. Ask Floro Dery. Maybe he should have covered her up in a gown or something. Tfs? I don't see them as nude women at all. It's probably you who has a problem with the human body especially that of the opposite gender.

Hi everyone, new page, so, please, take D-Max's advice under advisement

[RodimusRex]

Are... are they hinting at ANOTHER combiner???

What else can they DO?

A takara version of Liokaiser?

This has long been speculated, the only problem is Hasbro's is so far off, and with TT's strictness for animation accuracy (which I appreciate), I doubt this will happen

I'm a firm believer that Liokaiser will happen, however these silhouettes are most likely Ruination. You can see the vortex, brawl, rook/swindle and onslaught molds. If that's not ruination then I have no idea what else it could be. I do think though that if these are just straight repaints (with new guns?) that it might be a way for them to fund something else, possibly Liokaiser. Or maybe not, only time will tell.

Battle Gaia?

Sandstorm
Target Hawk
Shuttle Gunner

That could be, give their audience some generations style love

[Cobotron]

Welp? OK then.

[Twitchythe3rd]

I'm hoping those final silhouettes are the Commandos. If it's not them, then another off-the-wall team in the vein of Grand Galvatron.

[chuckdawg1999]

Ordered UW Computron off Amazon today, should be here Tuesday I hope. I'm still interested in the Hasbro version but seeing how low prices have gotten on other sets I can wait.

Try getting the Hb fist and feet. It makes the set even more awesomesauce!

Ah yes good old Leland, he strikes fear in the hearts of many men. But I would love a battle gaia repaint. I think it would be cooler than ruination.

I wonder how any of them would be connected with Unicron, though? Battle Gaia does make a little more sense over Ruination/Baldigus, but it's already a little strange that Unicron gets a second combiner team after making Grand Galvatron. Feels like the writers are going back to the well one too many times.

The guy on the bottom right doesn't have the right shoulders for Breakdown. The guy on the bottom left (Brawl mold?) seems to be holding two guns and one isn't a HFG.

It's not a matter of the look of the character. It's the positioning. She has her hands on her crotch with her t**t up in the air. If you don't think that's suggestive then you must be on porn planet.

Also, I study anime art so I can draw it. I know the concept.

*Gentle reminder to please stay on the topic of transformers and keep all this political and other garbage out of the thread.

So please, back to transformers and away from whatever you guys are arguing. I'm being nice about it and I don't think we want a mod stepping in.

Thank you.

I know you probably meant for this to be the last thing you said on the argument - it's very tempting to get out your last words on the subject - but it's still for the better if it's ignored entirely.

I am not sure what the post means here. Where is D-Max's advice on advisement?

The phrase "new page" would suggest that D-Max's advice would be on the page that preceded this "new page".

Yeah I get it now.

Sorry about the argument.

Is there an English translation of the dialogue in the Megatronia comic anywhere? Looking though the scans, I'll agree with other users that the imagery of Moonheart cutting off the Autobot's Combiner ports is messed up, and I don't know what the context of MegaEmpress having Megatron tied to the chair is, but without knowing what they're saying I see these things as a decent demonstration of just how down-right evil MegaEmpress and her guards are. Lunaclub's upside down pose doesn't bother me that much, she's clearly supposed to be the goofy "NOTICE ME SENPAI" type, so it at least seems in character for her.

As for the Combiner they're teasing at the end, my guess is the Commandos, but because the silhouettes are around Unicron's head it could be another out-of-left-field Grand Galvatron type Combiner, or even more original characters. Either way I think Lynxmaster and Megatronia will be the last Combiners I'll bother getting.

I'd gotten the impression that this little storyline was going to focus purely on "new" Combiners, which would make Ruination feel out of place. Then again, maybe being "new to G1" is good enough.

Hmm... This series has made reference to a couple of the unmade decos in the poll that gave us Goshooter from Generations Nightbeat - and one of those was The Fallen made from Fall of Cybertron Onslaught. Now that, updated to the new mold, could be a fitting choice for Unicron's mightiest combiner.

Now that you mention it, he did combine with Combaticon-like limbs (for lack of any alternative for the FoC molds), didn't he:



Basically a redeco of FoC Ruination... which was never released in Japan... O dear... Could anyone compare the silhouettes with the FoC Combaticon molds?

[Kurona]

I would so be up for The Fallen from Onslaught.

[Sowndwave76]

I would so be up for The Fallen from Onslaught.

Ooooohh, that could be awesome...
New characters (even with old molds) for possible combiner limbs?
Some different "Primes" in all black and red-orange deco??

I'd be pretty happy with new characters too

Kinda get the feeling that if they went that route with Unicron's heralds they'd go for some obscure dudes though. Which would also be cool

If you think that you're up for it, just wait until Hellscream sees it.
