Lament all you wish but tf needs to keep moving forward (something which it's doing by embracing new forms of animation) not just standing still in one part of its life. I can tolerate keeping a G1 style if something new was done with it (ala IDW). But a full on revival? I'd reject that.
Not if one considers "The Return of Optimus Prime" as the true finale and "The Rebirth" as an epilogue.o.supreme wrote:The Sunbow series was left unfinished

You're news crew. Find out!

I can understand the fans dislike of including characters from the 86 film in the Studio Series line, as aesthetically it makes no sense, I mean if movie characters in those likenesses started showing up in Generations, I'd imagine there's be equal backlash. I mean I'm not a fan of studio series, I don't own any studio series, but i do appreciate seeing them in the stores, and keeping up with whats coming out etc... Adding characters from TF:TM deviates from that, and so I can understand the backlash to that.
However I'm not talking about a full on revival. Just a film, or perhaps a series of animated films in the vein of DC's animated films is all I'm asking. The kids can keep moving forward with their RID's and their Cyberverses and their terrible flash animation...that's fine.
But more and more we are seeing genre's going back to the original well because its what what made them famous. Not talking about a retelling like Star Trek Discovery, but going back to the original timeline like Star Trek Picard. Gundam Unicorn went back to the UC after it had been abandoned for a great length of time, because fans wanted it.
I dont need a whole new toyline, or comic series. Just a little something, anything, not to take over the whole brand, but just for the adult fans to be able to remember what made Transformers great for them. The Sunbow series was left unfinished so it would be nice to move forward by telling a story back in that original series timeline is all, and I think it would do unbelievably well, and until its tried and failed, nobody can convince me otherwise.

Something similar even happened with TF: Prime's true finale being "Deadlock" while Predacons Rising came over a year later as a three-part epilogue.

Not to play Devil's advocate (or whatever it is I'm doing), here, but the prose story "Echoes and Fragments" provided a wonderful alternative to Deviations (preceding it by a month, even) as far as alternate tellings of TFTM are concerned.ZeroWolf wrote:I suppose my main take away for all of this is, don't get your hopes up, move on...

Jim Sorenson wrote it for one of the TCC Facebook character blogs, yes. But it's more easily readable in its archived form on TFWiki.ZeroWolf wrote:Was that done by the tfcc? If so IDW probably should have just assigned an artist to draw that

ZeroWolf wrote:But times have changed, we must all move forward, to dwell is to stagnate. Cyberverse really picked up it's stride as it went on, as Sabrblade points out.

Linsay Rousseau wrote:I wish I knew. It was supposed to be June but due to the quarantine they didn’t finish the foreign dubs for the show. They are working on those now. Netflix is requiring that all foreign dubs be completed so the show can be launched in all languages at once. So this is in the hands of Netflix and Rooster Teeth

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!
I'm glad they posted this screenshot. With this look, Elita cannot be a simple repaint of the Chromia mold. We must be getting something at least partly new.Sabrblade wrote:Say, does that "cape" of Elita's remind anyone else of her BotCon toy that was a redeco of Cybertron Thunderblast?

"Still"? What'd they do with their other shows? (I haven't watched much of Rooster Teeth's stuff)Skritz wrote:Hah. Rooster Teeth still screwing up. Hilarious.
