So much for all the goodwill and potential Siege garnered. Hopefully Part Three of the trilogy will be something interesting again that isn't the same old tired designs spat out again...

What's not to get behind? Is it the complexity of the transformation, or the redundancy of the figures?

It's the fact that there's basically no innovation in terms of design. I just don't like the lack of new designs because part of what was fun about T30 and some of PW was the new designs that still had elements from the classic designs

Nope. Just more GEEWUN forever and ever because Warden is allergic to anything not GEEWUN and because we still buy it anyway.

Earth is, in terms of creativity, the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Transformers. By the context of the setting alone, I won't have any part in Earthrise. If I wanted to look at outdated planes, trucks and cars, Well, that is what MPs and Reissues are for...

I think so too. The Tetrajets and Shockwave were such a huge step in the right direction. Alogside those, Jetfire and Omega Supreme being literally all you could ask for in a modern update of a classic figure. Meanwhile, Earthrise gives you 1984 Optimus Prime, 1985 Grapple and 1989 Micromasters (albeit upscaled, a bit). Figures that exist already, in multiple lines.
