Gotta agree with optronix91 about how the many gears makes them hard to look at when the actions are so fast and they basically waggle the camera like mad.

Snowtron, :lol:


Actually, the colours matter as well. Imagine if Starscream was coloured like this. You would be able to more-or-less identify him even with a shaky camera.


No, he looks stupid in those colors with that design. Not realistic at all. How many military jets do you see painted like that? 8-|

Snazzy! :D

Now get some planes that look like Skywarp and Thundercracker.

By the way, I don't think it would matter if Optimus lost the flames. Sure people would be suspecting, but its not like they'd immediately go "OMGWTF GIANT ROBOT!".

At least I think so. :???:

I agree. I take the point that in robot form he would have been easier to identify on-screen but overall the G1 colours wouldn't have worked.

Okay, let us get back on topic.

I guess when each Autobot/Decepticon scans a vehicle on Earth to have his/her own disguise (mostly his), he/she would have no choice if the vehicle has fiery paint jobs on it, eh?

Okay, so that proves that they could add decorative details to their scanned vehicles. But that also means Optimus added those flames, which means there's something wrong with his mind, which is the purpose of this topic. Heh.

In some countries, the role of the police force is really to punish and enslave.
