They're still generics no matter what color they are. We've had same-color generics a zillion times before in this entire brand. This is nothing new.primalxconvoy wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Doesn't matter what color they were.

Except that they are clones, or copies of each other, regardless of whether they are, in the show's universe, clones of an actual individual called "Scorponok". As such, this was another weakness off this show, as they used identical copies of an established character with no explanation and/or different colours to explain why they were all identical.

Oh for crying out loud. It is literally no different than the Sweeps, the Vehicon drones, the Energon Terrorcons, the Prime Vehicons, the Prime Insecticons, or any other mass produced nobodies who all look the same that we've gotten over the past 30+ years. They just chose to take the Scorponok toy and use it as generic troop fodder, instead of as a single character, for this show.primalxconvoy wrote:I disagree. With Seekers and the Weaponisers, some level of "genericness" (sic) had been easily inferred. Even in the original BW, or Energon trilogy cartoons, reused character models were usually accepted, and moreso as their original character models were given some screentime as the "intended" character.
Not so with Scorponok in this cartoon.

The next Netflix cartoon is for BotBots.Interocitron wrote:Maybe I'm just getting jaded, but there was almost nothing about this trilogy I cared for. Just bad vibes all around, man.
So, see you all in a year or so for the next three Netflix chapters?

Whifflefire wrote:My biggest disappointment with Kingdom is the confirmation that the Cybertron-based cast were all killed, thus rendering half of Earthrise kind of pointless. I had a theory that with the introduction of time-travel, the Autobots might have found a way to return to their time just before the apparent deaths of Elita and Co. and rescue them, since their plot ended on a cliffhanger. With their fates kind of ambiguous, it would have been a brilliant way to resolve that ending and the trilogy with all of the characters reuniting. The series had been really good at not wasting its cast, that it chose 'total annihilation' as the end of this part of the story is an underwhelming and unfortunate conclusion.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the WFC Trilogy. It had great ideas and brought together many different parts of the franchise's lore in interesting ways, even if it was let down a bit by the voice acting and structure. But overall a solid entry into Transformers history in support of one of the greatest toylines we've ever had. 'B' for the trilogy at whole and B+ for Kingdom itself.

Thats how he interacted with rattrap in the beast wars series, even up to his death in code of hero

Just found the episode and what i can say is. It kinda feels rushed. They use similar recent plotpoints from cyberverse with Bumblebee returning the McGuffin and the Truce from Cyberverse.
However because of the truce i do think the Allspark should have restored those who died throughout the series. But with no season 4 we won't see more of the this WFC Quintesson unless he is re-used.

Are you feeling okay? You seem to be misremembering a number of things.
It wasn't explicitly shown onscreen, but the ship he was on was blown to smithereens, with only debris left to rain down on the planet.Rogue-Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But Deseeus died when the Fool's Fortune exploded.Rogue-Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What?

I may have forgotten about Deseeus's death. I haven't found episode 6 yet but i used a fast episode summary.
Warning if you haven't finished the series.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
