A question on frame types

by Avensis-Mahiya » Mon Aug 08, 2022 3:19 pm

Motto: "Peace through understanding"

Weapon: Saber Blade and Saber Laser

You'll have to excuse me if this has been answered before, whether on here or elsewhere. I've been noticing that recent TF series have been recycling the G1 frame type as opposed to more stylized designs. Is this due to Habro wanting to be more consistent or something else?

Here from the queen's mountain view
Here from the wild dreams come true
Feast like an empress I do
On treasures and tales, never few

Motto: "Can't do a job halfway. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say."

Weapon: Saber Blade

It's a combination of brand consistency/recognition and the fact that many of the Hasbro people now in charge of Transformers grew up with G1 as kids and are thus big fans of it first and foremost.
