So how long do we expect after the release of The Ultimate Transformer before he gets a Grey redeco release in Selects?

As much as I've said before that if it had been localised, I likely would have watched (and probably loved) the Takara Series back in the day. What they did to my absolute favourite G1 Transformer... I would have liked a lot less.

Good thing we got a better, less-fat suit years later:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The "Fat Suit" never actually happened.
True. But that visual, combined with his "death by the power of friendship" wouldn't have gone over well at all with a young SuperRobot.

Honestly, I think we all would have been better off with that less involved version. Circa an early draft of the script, wherein Megatron simply reached the gun first and fired. There was no third party. The uppercut still happened. Prime died and Megs did a deal with the devil to save his own hide.
As for Kingdom though, do the Fossilisers work with the G1 figures or only the Beast Formers? I've yet to see too many reviews that even try to connect them to anyone else at all.

It is hard to keep track at times. I'm away from the boards for a day or two and most of the popular threads have an extra half a dozen pages

The movie itself may not have yet been released at the time, but its events were definitely told to Japanese kids in 1986-1987 (concurrent to 2010's Japanese broadcast) via TV magazine's story pages. They called the events the "Unicron War".o.supreme wrote:Kids in Japan though were probably even more confused seeing as how the movie had not yet been released, and the series intro only explained that Convoy and Megatron had fallen in battle and that Rodimus and Galvatron were the new leaders in 2011. Although I guess kids could piece together that there was definitely something they missed since Sunbow's season 3 was their "Transformers 2010", so they would have seen a little bit of Unicron, but just not be able to fully understand what happened.
I mean I can't speak from that perspective because I was able to see the movie in the summer of 1986, as did several of my peers. Anyone who didn't and was confused by Season 3's dramatic shift in characters was quickly quickly brought up to speed on the playground.
In other words, the Marvel adaptation.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Honestly, I think we all would have been better off with that less involved version.
