But we do love alternative universes and when one is created, everything goes. The beasts in BW, the honorable Starscream in Armada, Miner/Gladiator Megatron in IDW, all this is awesome and it help create original content.
Speaking of the TF Multiverse, there should be a series about the various universes of Transformers clashing. Either in comics form, animated, or both. I'd love to see the reaction of virtuous G1 Optimus toward the bloodlust of Bay Optimus.

After Prime, I lost interest in TF cartoons. Especially with the disastrous Machimina series.
But Cyberverse seems to be the best show since Prime so I should get on to it.

I've heard that one of the main leaders of Skybound is into crypto and NFTs, I cannot confirm anything, but I have heard rumors they are in that market

For them maybe. For me "NFT" stands for "Not Funding This"...

NFT.
Like I heard in a video, it's akin to the "you buy a star and you even get a certificate" scam. Too many NFT also steal intellectual properties. This, like crypto, will blow up in people's face sooner or later.
Oh, and to come back with your accessibility comment a few posts back, yeah. I'd love to watch Cyberverse but I have no idea where to watch legally. The few torrents I find are iffy too.
As for comics, they should take a hint from manga and make more graphic novels that compile comics and that are affordable.
Another thing that's killing the western comic industry is they charge 5$US to 10$US for 20 or 40 pages max. Comics with adds in them too. F that.

"Homophobia and transphobia"
Buzzwords to shut down any and all opposition that have been abused so much that they now means absolutely nothing.
Opposing strange reimagining and retconning of characters in established fictions is not a phobia. Opposing the abuses people do to game the system is not a phobia.
And further proof that the buzzwords you so like to use are pointless.
Take Blare White on youtube. I admire HER very much. SHE is smart and kind. But this gay man turned trans-woman (and completely transitioned) is AGAINST the authoritarian woke cult. Guess what? She's deemed a traitor to "all" the LGBT "community" and is accused to be a "transphobe". She's not alone.
Take Lacy Green, a very liberal feminist dared to start questioning the abuses of her peers and started listening to "the other side". BAM! "Internal misogyny".
Being "anti-woke" is not being "anti-LGBT". It's to be against an insane cult that shut down all discutions.
By your logic, being "pro-LGBT" would be "Islamophobe" because this goes against the tenets of Islam.
Try to dig a bit deeper. Look up all those gay, lesbians, trans, women, and all who DARED speak out against your tribe. Listen to what they have to say. You may learn something.

Buzzwords huh? Buzzwords used to describe why one person hates an aspect of another person.
By your defintion then, "racism" would also be a buzzword.
I don't need to research other people, this is about YOU and how you're an embarrassment to this site because of your unprofessionalism.
-Kanrabat- wrote:So, being "professional" is to bow down to your god.
I'll remains an "atheist" thank you very much.
And for those who don't know, "woke" means being part of the authoritarian cult that see everything and everyone outside of their tight circle as an enemy. Not even human. They use their "progressiveness" as a shield and a sword to control people's lives.
The woke have nothing to do with genuine human rights and freedoms. Especially for the "marginalised" whom they are used only as tools to gain power. They have also one thing in common. They refuse to listen to the ones whom they pretend to defend if they dare to speak outside of their tribe.
What piss me and many others off are the retcon of long established characters as gay/trans/whatever when they never, ever were before instead of creating ORIGINAL AND NEW characters. Furthermore, those characters must be well written, not being tokens with their sexuality being their only trait.
Thinking that makes me a monster it seems. ¯\_(⟃ ͟ʖ⟄)_/¯

If I had a dollar for every stupid thing you've said on this site, I could afford a Shining Ultra Magnus, this post alone would fund about half of it.

Remember More Than Meets The Eye and how well it was received by the fans? Remember how it brought a whole bunch of new people to the fandom? Remember how when it was announced we would have to say goodbye to the crew of The Lost Light that there was a massive out pouring from the fans who would be sad to see it go? And remember how sales of IDW's TF titles began a slow decline following the reboot?
Maybe instead of being so close minded you should take the blinkers off and have a look around at the world. It's changing, heck, society as a whole has been doing that for centuries. By all means, continue to live in your little bubble and grow to be a bitter old man who collects scantily clad dolls.
But do everyone a favour. Quit the Seibertron.com staff please, you're an embarrassment.
