Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
TurboMMaster wrote:The main pro to this series: It seems, that creators are tying to create something different. It could be the most creative series since Energon, maybe even since Beast Machines. Everything seems to give us expression that "Limited (if any) role of Both Optimus Prime and Megatron." And there is a few characters without direct equivalent in previous series. I'm only affraid that new series will be childish and bad looking.

You must have a big heart, and I mean that in the most sincerest of ways. However, I think some people need to stop with the racist" witch hunt". Perhaps, people ought to utilize context clues to understand what I meant by "ghetto" subculture. That has absolutely nothing to do with RACE, itself. I hear plenty of white and Hispanic people sound like ghetto trash- and it's not like they were taught to talk like that at school. I can use other words to describe what I was talking about: " Hollywood Hip-hop sub culture" , " trend slang", " anti-intellectual movement" . So perhaps, one shouldn't be so quick to accuse someone of being a "racist". In fact, as a minority, I've experienced true racism in different parts of the Country and oversees. So I apologize if when my statement hits some people in bleeding heart, I know they mean right ; but the fact of the matter is, they turned a character into a rip-off caricature . It's like turning Super Mario into a California surfer dude with blonde hair. It's just stupid and a cheap way to get more $$$ . It's just like what Michael Bay did with Skidz and Mudflap in ROTF - stupid stereotypes utilizing the colloquialism a popular subculture. Characters are who they are. I think changing the character is an insult to the original fans who kept the franchise alive for 20+ years, new fans who watched the old show, the writers of both the show and comics, Gregg Berger ( who voiced Grimlock ), and my basset hound that I named Grimlock! Why not just call him Grimhop, or Grimload, or Ghettolock - seriously. IF it's not the character- give it a different name!

Except, given Grimlock's known character history, it's hard to narrow down where in the timeline this example would occur since we know what Grimlock's been doing during FOC, after FOC, during Prime, and immediately after Prime. The last time we see him is shortly after Predacons Rising, during which time he is seen helping to build the Cybertronian settlement of New Spark, and by which point he had become quite civilized and experienced as a leader who fought for the good and well being of all, caring even for the weakest, lowliest of Autobots, and loathing the Decepticons and Predacons with a passion.RevTibe wrote:And I don't think the change in his circumstance is that crazy either. It's not hard to imagine how a somewhat unhinged character prone to uncontrollable violent outburst could wind up imprisoned.
Example: On Cybertron, Shockwave's alterations to Grim' mind degenerate, he becomes more and more unhinged. Lost in the wilderness and stuck in beastmode, 'cons capture him to use as an attack dog, and they give him a fresh coat of paint and Deceptibrands. The 'cons are captured, the Autobots don't know the scary green monster is Grimlock, they put them all on the prison ship. Ship crashes, reboots Grimlock, fixing his brain, but damaging his memory.

The Autobots aren't even supposed to be on Earth. Their whole being there isn't intentional. And we don't know how many years after Prime this is, so there's no telling if Unit:E still exists.WiseMan wrote:What's with a dad, his son, and a junkyard? Why are the Autobots getting alt modes there? Did the writers forget about Ratchet and Unit E?! You know, the task force on Earth specifically created to deal with Decepticon threats on Earth?

WFC and FOC didn't link to Prime well at all, the books were more like a retelling of the games that expanded that story but also altered some events and STILL didn't link well to Prime, and now the sequel to Prime has a very new take on Grimlock. I really don't see how such a huge redesign of a character can still be in the same universe of FOC. This isn't a critique on the new Grimlock, I just don't want to see some ridiculous retcon of the character just so Hasbro can keep forcing the poorly connected universes together. I want to see the different properties go in their respective directions, not be forced to try to work with each other. Otherwise we could end up with another "rise of the dark spark" type mash-up failure

Yeah, I agree with you here. The Aligned continuity was a mess when it came to making things flow from one medium to another that it actually became embarrassing. It was like nobody really tried to keep everything straight and just did their own thing. know 13 year olds who can write better than that.
