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

If so...god damn it, it won't feel right having a Cliffjumper that is bigger then Bee, Brawn and the other minibots in the collection.

Like is part 3 going to be in the future or something? (The movie and season 3 era)
In all of the brand's history, the war has always been for the control of Cybertron no matter what other planets it has been fought on.Deadput wrote:Also can the trilogy really be considered a War for Cybertron if only part 1 takes place on Earth?

Yeah, it bothered me on the first two MP Convoys and it still bothers me.Cyberpath wrote:And I agree with @Sabrblade about the stripes. Instead of of that paint app I'd finish the yellow paint on his pelvis, and blue on crotch.
I'm not too fond of the grey app on the air intake either. But that's just a small annoyance.

Do you not remember the whole ordeal with the Omega Lock?

Even in Prime? Cybertron was a lost cause in that show.

Not just the hands but the inner lower legs and elbow joints as well. Honestly the final deco makes an otherwise good-looking figure look like a KO.

After all these years, I'm still amazed that no one has ever tried making a G1 Optimus toy that transforms like the CG Optimus seen in the Kid Rhino G1 Season 2 DVD menus. IIRC, that one transformed from a show-accurate robot mode to a convincingly-realistic truck mode without any cheating or over-complexity.

That's because there was no war at the beginning, only minor skirmishes. The Decepticons had been MIA for three years prior to the first episode, and Optimus states in Episode 6 that the war had ended a long time ago. As the series progressed, later events reignited Megatron's desire to control Cybertron as new means to both revitalize it and dominate it came into being.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Do you not remember the whole ordeal with the Omega Lock?

That came later. At the start of the show they dont seem to be battling for control of cybertron.
