Though maybe the actual ideal is to just rip off the recent Bandai/Sunrise strategy with Gundam and run completely new stuff (IBO) alongside blatant but pretty original series fanwank (Unicorn somewhat, Thunderbolt, Twilight Axis), while saving the "universe" wackiness for a downright awesome web series (Build Fighters)
something like how the original Robotech series got a continuation with The Shadow Chronicleso.supreme wrote:ScottyP wrote:I wouldn't mind a happy medium - base it in a G1-esque universe but do like IDW and use whoever you please from whatever continuity.

Funny I posted my last comment before reading yours. Yes Gundam does it right by providing original content and going back to the UC well. Btw...you may call Unicorn *fan wank*, but it was the best darn thing Gundam has put out in well over a decade.

If there were not many humans in the background during Prime I guess I never noticed. It is nice when shows include details in the background but I think TFP was over budget anyway.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Transformers takes place on Earth there's supposed to be humans living there, but it seems like humanity abandoned Earth in the show like for damns sake the only reason people don't really like the humans is that they are usually not written that well which makes them unlikable but there have been great humans in our franchise... hell some of my fave characters are the rescue bot human family since their really likable and are decently written, transformers would be a hell less entertaining if they did not change into human vehicles which is probably why the show and the toys back in 1984 became so popular.
Thanks for bringing up one of the couple "hilarious" moments in the show by hilarious I mean cringy poorly made "jokes" and reminds me about how Starscream was the worse character on the show since he was treated as a joke after season 1...how the hell did he become second in command in the first place?
Of course my opinion about Tf:P is my opinion but the only time I was humored and laughed in the whole show was the time Jack asked Prime if he wanted to see something funny...the joke was funny but it shows why that Optimus is the worse Optimus there ever was which reminds me that I really hope Optimus is actually charismatic in this show instead of a boring, bland, speech spewing machine.

Oh don't get me wrong, I adore Unicorn. Top 3 for me along with Wing and 00, and far and away my favorite UC series!o.supreme wrote: Btw...you may call Unicorn *fan wank*, but it was the best darn thing Gundam has put out in well over a decade.

Anyways, more G1 crap? Sounds refreshing. I mean, if the writing is good I won't complain, but I think it's about time a Transformers series actually put completely unique, well-thought out concepts into its stories instead of mashing up old ones. Animated did this, Prime did this, closest we got to a unique Transformers show is Beast Wars/Beast Machines and even those had their laundry list of flaws. I think my taste for stories is just getting too high. Probably a good thing, too. Made me realize what terrible writing was present in the likes of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and Doctor Who.

Except for when its on Cybertron...or a host of other alien worlds. I mean only about 15% of TF:TM takes place on Earth, in a conveniently, remotely located Autobot City, where you don't need humans, but the minimum portrayal of humans in TF:TM is one of the many aspects that makes it arguably one of the greatest single Transformers stories ever. TFP- Rise of The Predacons is also a personal favorite of mine...No Humans. Heck even BWII The Movie which most western fans haven't even seen gets high marks from me for having zero humans. I find it highly entertaining.
I'm not saying I hate all human characters in TF lore, its just that they are way overused in some series, and history has shown, for me at least, -the fewer, the better.

Oh er, Cyberverse, yeah. Don't really have much else to say until they release some more information.

I want cars, trucks, vans, planes, helicopters, military vehicles, tanks and kinda out there but I would not mind water vehicles either as long as they had a way to function on land (besdies robot mode) maybe M.A.R.B.S?
