ZeroWolf wrote:I remember Furman wrote a similar story about the end of the war where Rodimus wanted to stand down and went to choose a successor (choice was between ultra magnus or Springer, if I recall correctly ) however Furman being furman really hits home the line "it never ends..." as the last decepticon helps start another civil war. The last panel shows Rodimus in sorrow as the fighting breaks out once more.

I agree though, he should of stayed dead but I think that they underestimated what they were doing at the time and what they had going.

Though prime dying and coming back is just a thing the fiction does now, death has no meaning...just like dragonball. Now that I think about it, Prime must die almost every series, it's the laws of the universe (exception maybe car robots as that's not supposed to be optimus prime)

ZeroWolf wrote:Well Furman set it up that earth was special as shock wave planted his special ore there (originally to produce better Energon, then later one of the thirteen ores he needed for dark Cybertron, another case of building on Furman's story hooks) hence why they were drawn to earth as it was giving good Energon readings and provided a powered up fuel (hence why starscream thought he could topple megatron in infiltration) of course he also threw in another thread about the machination and their plan using headmaster tech (which scorpoknok masterminded). I figured all hail megatron took place on earth as that was where he won so it made sense to begin his empire from there. It wasn't until after dark Cybertron they began to hint there was more going on with earth, then hiding a titan under the surface and saying it was a colony world. Now as to why they did this? I think it was because earth has always been a battleground for the Transformers, hence a way to connect them with us and to get them using that "robots in disguise" line from time to time though admittedly thats only true with the beginning as it's quickly forgotten as story demands. While we get stretches where were only on cybertron or other alien world's they will always return to earth because as Furman says: "it never ends..."

1) It was too short. I actually quite liked it, in so much as it added something slightly different in the addition of organic/transformer interface, and it would have been interesting to see this develop, along with Zarak plotting against Galvatron (maybe this was further addressed in Headmasters but despite repeated attempts at viewing it, I can't get over the terrible English dub)
2) Snapdragon decided to spit not swallow

I understand that Hasbro needs to use the big three as I call it for brand recognition. Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron. They are all main characters, central to the story and at least in the case of Optimus and Bee their colors are eye catching so that people recognize them on a shelf.
The other answer I can tell you is it's a safe investment. If you look at the toylines we are seeing a lot of throwback to G1 which is something that is selling rather well. With Combiner Wars, Titans Return and now Power of the Primes being somewhat based on some G1 concepts and characters we can see why the Transformers Authentics or Evergreen line is being modeled with some very G1 designs. Even the new cyberverse line looks very G1. This boils down to the over use of some characters. (Though I will point out that of all the cool toys we got in the Prime Wars trilogy they didn't get much screen time unless the ones featured in the machinima series)

Also please don't judge headmasters solely by the horribly hilarious dub that it got...(this is a general announcement) I prefer the headmasters to the rebirth as it's easier to get my head around then binary bonding (plus masterforce is amazing and destroys all that came before it) earth is still more important then nebulos for the sole reason that it's where it began (story wise) also you can't call targetmasters and the like the 2nd generation as 1) we obviously have generation 2 (an attempt to revive the franchise with redecos in neon colours as well as new toys and 2) the -masters are actually the 4th generation by your reasoning
