Clearly you an I have very different definitions of "complicated." For instance, a massive multilayer series of netting of variable sized is complicated to me. A planet where half of the surface is perfectly flat and smooth and the rest is a bunch of random city-like structures, not nearly as complicated.Hotrodimust wrote:I thank you for giving me my 7 scuckles of the day and I totally agree with you the first 2 pics are cybertron not the bees hive
So what are the pictures I posted of? Because they didn't look anything like the two he posted.

So...what, you just started when WfC rolled around or something? You know, Cybertron never, ever looks the same twice, right?

We never really saw Cybertron in the first movie, just that bit of promotional material.
Shadowman wrote:Well, that's your opinion, sure. I happen to think this is vastly more complicated than any other version of Cybertron. Much more detail while at the same time the deeper levels still appear coherent, not simply random details, giving the planet the image of a massive series of net-like pathways and passages right down to the planet's core.
The whole design makes a ton of sense when you really think about it. It's randomized, but uniform at the same time, reflecting the inhabitants (Robots, which are famously logic-fueled) while the honey-comb appearance reflects their somewhat insectoid designs. It all comes together; a big hive, as built by robot bugs.

Insectoid. It means "bug-like," and yeah, they do look buglike. Starscream is the biggest example, Decepticon ships in DOTM also had hulls that looked like a beetle's carapace. Their young are shown in clusters of translucent eggs on stalks, even.Hotrodimust wrote:and other designs of cybertron were multi leveled.
Well, sort of. They had some depths but you couldn't really see or tell what was down there.Hotrodimust wrote:Cybertron has buildings on it like in iacon I don't see buildings in the honey comb
Which Cybertron? We've been over this, the design changes in every series, sometimes the design changes within the series itself, so you have to be specific. Still, out of all the designs I've seen, (And posted!) only some of them have random details that kinda-sorta look like buildings. The rest look like metal balls with random generic detailing.

Ya in the movies they do kinda look like bugs I'll give you that. And none of the cybertrons can you actually see down their but if you look at some of the drawings from Wic they do show a lot of multi layered civilization and almost every pic of cybertron has a large looking city on it and a part that looks like a hole and I said most not all. But I think the best look at the landscape would be thru the video games and it's illustrations
