Just noticed my name is visible there but like, whatever.
He has been available for purchase with fast-ish delivery (I could have it to me by the 10th) on amazon for over 2 weeks now I think. I originally had it pre-ordered but cancelled due to me ordering the DNA kit for it and that would cover most of the face paint up. I will be getting it though if it drops closer to $200. Then I will have 3 complete sets lol...

For some reason I had it in my head he was a Pulse exclusive, but here he is, you're right. Was this ever newsed? I swear when he went up on Pulse he had a release date of April 1, and even if that was a placeholder, it seems weird they never mentioned in the reveal that he would be out soon.

That's a matter of opinion, and not everyone's is the same. I also think the Bee movie is worse than the other live action films, except maybe TLK. But it's clear that TLK was an unfinished story. That's why there needs to be 1 more movie to conclude the 2nd trilogy. But I do agree, unfortunately it will not happen, not anytime soon and not with Michael Bay.noctorro wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:

You will never get a continuation of the actual Bayverse storyline, because the Bayverse cannot do it itself. Have you seen those movies? You can be a fan of the designs but you cannot be a fan of good storytelling and like the story in the movies.

You could not be more wrong there with that statement. The movies are the only reason that I am still into transformers today. They are what I grew up with, most likely how you grew up with the G1 cartoon. DotM is my all-time favorite movie followed closely by RotF and the others. I am not a fan of the G1 cartoon/toys at all, but I do respect that they started the whole TF thing which allowed the movies to happen. SS was my one ray of hope and now G1 stuck its nose into that to.
Hopefully Dino can redeem SS for 2021, because it is looking pretty bad. Fingers crossed that we get a leader class The Fallen also.

I'll say. As bad as both films were, AOE was the only one of the original five to actually attempt to set up future storytelling for the next movie, but TLK decided to ignore almost all of that and pretend like it didn't happen. I remember back before TLK came out and the films' staunchest supporters were so insistent that we would get some actual resolution to the knights/creators story in the next movie. But then TLK was like "NOPE!" and instead gave us a completely different set of knights unrelated to the first, and gave us Quintessa "the Great Deceiver" instead of any of the Creators we saw glimpses of in AOE.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:TLK wouldn't have been as bad if it hadn't pretended like almost all of the setup at the end of AOE never happened.
AoE was also just China pandering and the overhyped Dinobots did nothing.
It would take a small miracle for the final chapter in the Knights Trilogy to "fix" AoE and TlK.

Seeker fans may be left wondering how long until the inevitable recolors are revealed for the other Seekers like Skywarp, Thundercracker and possibly others, though it's possible that those never see the light of day as well such as Action Master Starscream and the Energon and Cybertron toy lines which never saw proper recolors of Starscream into his Seeker brothers (Action Master Thundercracker excluded for obvious reasons due to his obnoxious unfamiliar colors).
Day 310 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.
Seriously. Normal? Coherent? The word is humanoid. Or G1 inspired.
Yeah, I normally don't pay attention to people dropping in their bayverse hate comments (its usually just trolling or whining), but I certainly don't appreciate seeing this obvious passive aggressive hate from the editor.

Speaking of DOTM, I finished paint work on Leadfoot! I'm really enjoying the SS Wreckers so far, and I'm very excited to get Topspin. I know it has its issues, but still excited to have the team together!

What needs to be fixed on him? From the reviews he seems to be pretty perfect.
What needs to be fixed on him? The faux-parts chest. It's disgusting and there's absolutely no good reason for resorting to that. We know HasTak can do better than that - they have. They did it with Animated, they did it with TR/Legends... There's no excuse. If they were going to halfass it that much, they should have just slapped a Hot Rod head and deco on the Cybertron Hot Shot mold and saved themselves some money.

You're on your own with this one.

So even growing up with bayverse, I still most definitely prefer G1 by a landslide. Michael bays disrespect towards the dinobots and the abominations that were his live action TMNT movies were enough for me to hold a grudge, and even without it the bayverse movies are just terribly written. There are some good fight scenes, some cool things here and there but other than that I just can't imagine why that would be the favorite version of transformers

Remember that there was others to blame for the Turtles as he was only a producer for those two movies. Basically you attack bay for the turtles you may as well go after Spielberg for Transformers. Bay is a popular target but the burden of the movies doesn't fall on him. There was lots of hands in those movies, including Hasbro’s. O also don't see how the live action movies disrespect Transformers, just because you don't like them doesn't mean that others can't. Opinions are subjective and not factual, in terms of liking something or not.

I appreciate your response, I mistakenly thought Michael Bay was the director of TMNT movies, definitely a fair point as far as not blaming the producers. I also never said that the live action movies disrespect transformers, only that Michael Bay himself was talking smack about the dinobots. And i also never mentioned not understanding how people can like the live action movies, I even went out of my way to say ill watch them here and there and there are some likeable scenes and aspects of the love action movies. What I said was: I dont understand how the live action movies can be preferred over G1, beast wars, or even TF:A. I'm aware of the subjectivity of opinions, I was only stating mine. The point is not to say "you can't like those movies" the point was to say "those movies suck compared to other versions of transformers imo" and even more so just to point out that what someone grew up with doesn't necessarily define their opinion

At least we get some nice toys out of it.
