Yeah, but she's armed, and ready to kick some butt. Which just makes her a video game heroine.

Likewise, Rattrap got turned into a Choro-Q, Cheetor was turned into a cliche anime delinquent, Tigatron's cute girl figures were all turned into eraser figures (like the G1 Decoys). All aspects of the 80's that, like Ai's impractical bikini warrior armor, aren't looked back in fond lighting.

It is a bit suspect that Ai is one of the only instances of 80s regression that wasn't changed back to normal afterwards. Fan service!

I, for one, don't mind Ai's armor, very Urusei Yatsura-style.

New Photos of Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG20 Skids with Comparison to Hasbro Version

Motto:
"'till All Are One"
Transformers Legends LG20 Skids is being released this coming week and we have some new pictures to celebrate that courtesy of Twitter users Tagoal and I_love_gabrine. We even have a picture comparing this Takara release to the hasbro rerelease we got a while back, whos gallery can be seen here.
As you can see, the Takara version is far closer in deco to Alex Milne's comic book model, which can also be seen below.

One of us already went there. Please, let's keep it at that person, huh?
I'm sorry, but in Dutch the word for cancer (along with other ailments like cholera if I may add) is used quite common as part of negative outings of any kind. Very trivially so, while cancer itself is no joke IMHO.
