Speaking in regards to Fun Pub, they destroyed the Classicsverse back in 2012. SG Ultra Magnus orchestrated its destruction. All that's left is a reality-displaced planet Earth and whatever few Cybertronian survivors were on it at the time.Rated X wrote:I have no interest in RID, but I am interested to see what characters Funpub can work these molds into for the classics verse down the line.

Yes and no.
For RID, which is the kids line, yes, Warrior is the new Deluxe Class. The 3-Steps are the new Voyagers and there are no Leaders, but we do get Legion Class back.
For Generations/Combiner Wars, they will have no Warrior Class and will stick to the usual Legends, Deluxe, Voyager and Leader Classes.
I know it's confusing, hopefully this helps to clear it up a bit.

Just saw this on my Facebook feed, funnily enough.
Though, is it just me, or does the face look very masculine?

I got that feeling as well, and I don't know if it's just my bias for wolves or there's something about the design of the character that hints at him being more noble than his initial Decepticon allegiance, but I'd love to see him have a change of heart too. Of the new Decepticons, he seems the least "monstery" in bot mode. Also, G1 Steeljaw is an Autobot, and Hasbro has generally been trying to keep names with their original factions post Armada, even if the characters themselves are reimagined compared to their original depictions. Maybe his name is a hint for us of what's to come story-wise for the new cartoon?
By the way, is it just me, or does Underbite's Kreon bare more than a passing resemblance to G1 Galvatron?
They're already doing that with Grimlock though.

Grimlock is starting as a Decepticon? Are you sure about that? I know Prime took a lot of liberties with the aligned continuity as begun with War for Cyberton, Fall of Cybertron, and/or Exodus, but Grimlock is an Autobot in those stories. That would be quite the retcon to ignore that or somehow turn him into a Decepticon and then back again to satisfy the heel-to-face trope, especially when you can do that with a new character.
Wolfman Jake wrote:Weird. The aligned continuity is a joke now. It looks like Grimlock is a Decepticon for all of 5 seconds. Plus, he doesn't even fit with the other Decepticons' motif. His robot mode is humanoid with an animal alt mode. The Decepticons so far in this series are all anthropomorphic bot modes with vehicle alt modes. Is this all playing off of the fact that Grimlock was incarcerated in the IDW comics?
Another interesting point: it DOES look like Underbite may be the defacto Decepticon leader, as some have already speculated, and not Steeljaw. He seems to be the major threat of what must be the pilot episode.

Here's a look at the new Hyper Change Grimlock from the new Transformers RID line. Grimlock transforms in 3 steps and has very limited articulation. The detail and paint job is very well done and younger kids will love this Grimlock. Please rate, comment and subscribe!

You know what the really sad thing is? Mairghread Scott was both a writer for TF: Prime and one of the main writers for both the Rage of the Dinobots comics and the Prime Beast Hunters comics that each worked their darnedest to mend as much continuity patch ups as possible between WFC/FOC and Prime... and yet she's also gonna be a writer for RID, in which we have this new Grimlock, after all her efforts to not only flesh out and develop the one from WFC/FOC but also implant it into the world of the Prime cartoon in as believable and feasible as possible. All that work she did to make things work, and then they go and give us a brand new take on Grimlock that completely poops all over her fine work.ScottyP wrote:Tbh it was never super tight knit to begin with. The amount of plot holes between WFC/FOC and Prime is staggering. Throw in the books and there are even more. Covenant of Primus doesn't hurt anything, but it doesn't really fix anything either. Additionally, the aligned Universe already -has- a Grimlock - the same one you see in FoC got an official comic series. Like, quite a decent run (I think 12 issues or so if you count all three minis). This Grimlock is nothing like that, unless they retcon it to an insane degree.
That was in Rage of the Dinobots. The last we saw of FOC Grimlock was in the Prime Beast Hunters comics, in which he did a lot on Cybertron and eventually reunited with Team Prime in a post-Predacons Rising scene and went to help build the Cybertron settlement New Spark.ScottyP wrote:Last we saw of the already established FoC Grimlock, he was on Cybertron fighting Predacons with the other Dinobots helping rebuild the planet, and Ultra Magnus had just left them to go join Team Prime on Earth.
I concur. This is the shortest movie line of the four and it managed to get just about everything on the market it set out to release. And right as the next line's toys are ready to come out, this movie's line isn't keeping them held back this time. Kudos.ScottyP wrote:Back to the toys, I am seriously impressed by Hasbro right now on distribution. The last two movie lines of toys over stayed their welcome on shelves and were way overproduced. It seems like they were ready for retailers to run out of movie stuff over the busy holiday season, and were prepared at the distributor level to replenish them with new product lines instead of more of the old. Good stuff, and hopefully this means Combiner Wars is just on the horizon here in the US!
