There was no need for a fusion in the first place. As for the impossible relaunch you mention at the end, there was no such fanfare for Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy, yet we're getting near perfect updates for those. They just do them properly and that's it. But they clearly just have no faith in Animated and Prime, so they do them mostly with G1 repaints in mind. Look at the recent Skyquake leak, that's just G1 Skyquake in Prime colors. Arcee was just a premold for Road Rocket, of all things. Knockout was a measly retool of Jazz.

Key point here.
I wonder why.

Kawazaki PREDATOR hence the shoulder gun
Wow that bike mode on Prowl is a FAIL. I didn't mind the robot mode changes much, until I saw the bike mode. Money saved, I guess.Sabrblade wrote:Found pics of their vehicle modes. The Junkion bike looks good.
Prowl's bike mode is CHUNKY. Nowhere near as sleek as his original bike mode.

It won't be since the deal with the Junkions is that they can detach themselves and rearange themselves together or with other bots, which isn't a feature on this prowl. If I had to guess how this could be reused, I'd go for Cybertron Ransack or one of the other decos.

You know, that would have been neat. And made more use of Crosswise and Rook. The ninja motif also explains why both of his Mini-Con heads ended up looking shady.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Emerje wrote:I could maybe see this retooled into Armada Sideways, but that's about it.
Which head?

Probably the rods the handlebars are on, behind the head. Prowl only has those wheel-shuriken, but Armada Sideways has those tailpipe missiles. He was still originally intended as a Ninja-like character, but more as comedy relief with the "little angel vs. little devil" schtick.
Here's the thing, though: Forcing characters from substantially different aesthetics to conform to the G1 look instead of being faithful kinda undercuts the homage; "Okay we'll acknowledge this... but we refuse to really honor its signature look". I'll agree that Animated Prowl is waaay better than what we saw with the Prime cast in 2022, but it's still kind of iffy.Razorbeast88 wrote:That Junkion bike is awesome. I love these new characters and how much personality is put into them
Here comes all the whining and pitching about Prowl. tHatS nOt hoW hE loOkeD. They're not gonna make the seem string bean mf as in the show, all the characters in the show had those weird spindly proportions. And it looked awesome. But this isn't that. This is meant to have all the characters blend in, and he looks awesome!
