Of all the characters in Prime, Bulkhead was definitely my fave.....which one's your personal fave, Cary?

My gut says Bulkhead, but there were so many good characters in that show. If I'm remembering correctly he was running from his past as a Wrecker and/or some other tragic event. They never really fleshed out BH as much as Arcee or some of the other characters.

I really like the take on Starscream as well. Still a scheming backstabber who turns and runs as soon as the deck seems stacks against him. He did show his teeth a few times when backed into a corner. SS across all fictions has always seemed to possess the ability/power, but lacked the planning or follow through to carry out his plans. The difference in Prime is that he physically resembled the part of a stereotypical schemer, hunched over and lithe.

While I really like BH's bear with a tender heart I'm going give my nod to Starscream here.

I've only watched the series once and it was a few years ago and binge watched over the course of a week, but I wouldn't mind keeping the Prime discussion party going. There are a lot of interesting dynamics in that show, like the 'Wing bros (Argh I want that mold so bad) or Wheeljack's bad boy rebel characterization and his relationship with Bulkhead where he realizes that his friend has moved on without him.

Prime's my JaAm ;)^

Prime Starscream forever!!

He's the best. And he survived!! I love his character on the show and his voyager figure. One of my favorites of all time.

Prime was really well done -- I only saw it once as well, but I see what you guys are saying about SS! He truly looked and acted more three-dimensional as a character (compared to G1 lol).

Arcee was amazing as well -- typical jaded femme bot at first, but she had some depth I appreciated.

Overall, Prime was pretty awesome! New, cool designs (mixing G1 and Bayverse, just a bit) and great production values made it superior to the original cartoon.

Now, Imma put my Gee-wunner shades back on.

I found a really doo web site for making and editing gifts and such. Not too hard. The hardest part is getting it down to the size limitations of the site.

https://ezgif.com

Got some pretty powerful tools. For example I borrowed my gif, removed some frames, speed it up, reversed it, reduced the resolution, cropped it and then finally dropped the quality to reduce the final file size.

OK yeah, that was a lot of work. :lol:

Yeah and earlier in the game one of the hidden door switches transformers and does the dance as well - totally caught me off guard :lol:

The credits tune for WfC is pretty awesome as well :michaelbay:

Pop quiz time errybody! Which game did you prefer and why - WfC or Foc or if neither, nominate another TF game from any generation.

For me it's FoC. The stages were just tighter as they were designed around the bot you played. I also felt the pacing of the game was just better and kept me engaged.

So I've been digging around trying to find a new place to upload photos. I'm really happy with Flickr except for it mobile offering. First the app doesn't spit out the bbcode and second the mobile page isn't really any better.

So I found a site that is super mobile friendly (doesn't have and app) and have all types of bbcode options as well as other sharing options.

So this is just a test of using their site from my phone and how it works with seibertron.

The following images are "full and linked" from imgbb

Let me know if these images show up for you.

Oh yeah, I'm liking the way this works. Super easy to share and very fast loading. I'll be testing this site out for a while and see if I hit a glass ceiling.
