Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Superion is not complete. 4 down, 1 more to go. Alpha Bravo doesnt count. He goes in the padded cell for impersonating an Aerialbot.

Planes and whirlybirds are like the bloods and crips, they just shouldn't mix.
Uh, why doesn't a helicopter belong among the Aerialbots? They're the Aerialbots, not the Jeticons! Anything that flies makes sense.
Because the Aerialbots have an established history of being jets. There was never a member named Alpha Bravo. At least before IDW showed up. I don't like the change. Plus, how the hell does a helicopter keep up with three fighter jets and a Concorde?
Also, I'm a bit of a geewunner at heart.

I will be doing exactly that. The Aerialbots are Silverbolt, Skydive, Air Raid, Fireflight, and Slingshot. Alpha Bravo would go well in place of Blades for Defensor, but not with a group of jets.

Alpha Bravo is an Aerialbot, and he definitely counts. He's just not the one you want. If it bothers you that much then buy the Takara version with the Firefly redeco.
Makes more sense than a large delivery tractor trailer being part of a group called the "Stunticons". Or two non-predatory herbivores (a buffalo and a rhino) being part of a group called the "Predacons". At least a helicopter is still aerial.Rodimus Prime wrote:I will be doing exactly that.

Of course there may be that instance were Shockwave zaps 'em with a Giganto Ray so they can go toe to toe with Superion and the likes. Who knows what adventure lays ahead?
(I liketh to play wif my toys)
I am finding that "waiting" on certain Transformers is a bad idea... Which I waited to get MP Starscream & Thundercracker (I had seen them at Walmart too!!) Now I am kicking myself as they go for any where from $140-$200+
I do plan on using TC as a "in between" while I wait to get MP TC...
But nowhere near with the capabilities of a jet. So makes NO SENSE. I do agree about the Predacons and perhaps even Motormaster. Yeah, he has about as much to do with stunt vehicles as a helicopter does with jets. I always thought a monster truck alternate mode for Motormaster made more sense, both purpose (stunt) and scale wise.Sabrblade wrote:Makes more sense than a large delivery tractor trailer being part of a group called the "Stunticons".

What was the thought process behind introducing new Combiner characters such as Offroad and Alpha Bravo instead of just sticking with new interpretations of classic characters?
We wanted to introduce some new characters. There is also names and which we have, which is trademarked and what we're allowed to release. You've seen that in the past where we've had to change the names of some characters. Also we wanted to make sure the scales of everything were what needed to be. Sometimes scales were a bit funky in the original releases, you have a motorcycle that's the same size as a helicopter. Some of those decisions came into play. We wanted to create the essence of what the original characters were originally with the colors and type of characters you can make in the big Combiner character.
I really like the product line. It turned out really fantastic and I think from what I want to keep pushing the brand is that Generations isn't just about looking in the past. It's also about creating new stories, new characters as we go forward. I tell this story to the design and marketing team, when we were kids, when I first came out and was playing with this brand, somebody was in our seat, in our job and they were creating new stories and new toys for us. That's our job, you know? And that's what makes this fun. There's a 5, 6, 7...10 year old kid out there, whatever age they are who's getting into this and they're experiencing Transformers for the first time. So it's our responsibility and what we get to give back now is that we are creating the next generation of fans with this new product line whether it's Generations product line, whether it's Robots in Disguise whether it's Rescue Bots. We're creating this new fun way to play.
The Combiner Wars gives us you know, a great way not only to look back with the characters that everyone loves but also say "What's new?". We have our fan app right now and you can go vote, we're letting the fans create the next Combiner from the Autobot or Decepticon allegiance, the colors, the limbs, everything even down to...we're going to let them choose the gender. For the first time ever, there could be a female Combiner, which would be amazing! You know, we've never seen that before! I love seeing what's new. I love the past. I grew up on G1, but I want to keep adding new. The stories we tell with IDW, the new characters they're creating. Let's keep pushing it and pushing the story forward.
We saw the success of the Combaticons with Bruticus, then the story started...we wanted to celebrate the 30th anniversary in '14. We talked about putting Combiners in there, then this idea came out of the Combiner Wars. So I said let's save that for after the 30th anniversary, we start with Combiner Wars. We worked on the storyline with IDW and obviously the toys that we have and that's where it came from.

The only way it could get more generic is by saying: "Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons. He is evil. The decipticons are evil. Thus the autobots are good.
I thought it was that the Autobots waged their battle.... Huh.....
"Rage" just makes more sense when battle is concerned, since it's not like the Autobots are always gambling their fights.
Dosen't that make it sound like the autobots are the assholes in this? Aren't the Decepticons the aggressors in all of this. So wouldn't the Decepticons be raging war, while the autobots wage the war, considering they're continuing and reciprocating. After all the definition of wage in this context is to carry on.
william-james88 wrote:Another fun point that always seemed to hint at this is how the fractions are called in Japanese. Decepticons are Destron and Autobots are Cybertron, which really labels the autobots as the chosen people of cybertron and the decepticons as outsiders, when they are both from the same planet.
