Could they seriously not be bothered animating Rodimus Crons mouth? And look, Optimal Optimus. BETCHA DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING... not that I hate it but it just felt like such an undeserved reveal ya know?

To be fair I never doubted they would do optimal optimus in this series, it was obvious that he would get a power up when they needed it. The final episode will be interesting to see how much time it gives itself to settle everything and show what happens next instead of just ending abruptly and offering no closure.

I winced when he renamed himself, hearing him say his name makes you realise how stupid of a name it is.

(Oh and your signature is WAY too huge. We have guidelines, you just obliterated them.)

And what was up with that split screen nonsense? It's like they just discovered they could do it and tried to use it as much as stupidly possible.

So far, I like the series. Sure, things can always be better. I do agree that Optimal Optimus is kinda weak as a name, even though I love my OG BW Optimal Optimus (I still call him Optimus Primal). This has been fun. Can't wait to see the ending.

They did the whole split screen things in the final couple episodes of the last series, too. Super random and out of place, exactly what you described.

It occurs to me how jaded I must be off the oddities and quirks of Transformers media that only in the second viewing (yes, really, I watched this crap twice :roll:) that it occurred to me that this was an episode of a show featuring a Matrix-empowered Optimus Primal versus a Unicron-possessed Rodimus Prime!

How jaded must I be to not think this is some weird/crazy/dumb shit you'd see out of terrible fanfictions?

I actually don't mind so much cause I actually enjoyed this episode. I do like Primal, and I liked the Matrix scene. It's also inspiring so many pose ideas for when I get PotP Primal to go with Rod Cron

Heh heh, some Geewun fanboys on Facebook are going nuts over the Munky having been the one chosen by the Matrix.

Because "Geewun fanboys" isn't a condescending label either. >:oP

Aw, I'm just joshin'. :P


Were I to have been more politically-correct (or whatever the expression is these days), I'd've said something like "devout G1 fans who hold a cynical and/or disdainful view towards anything that isn't from the 1980s G1 era simply for its being 'not G1' or 'not true Transformers' to them", but such was more of a mouthful to type and "Geewun fanboys" got the message across more simplistically (and cheekily). ;)

The way they would have to look at it is, who was there for the matrix to choose? Imagine the out roar if windblade was chosen :lol:

Some say it should have been Megatron. :lol:

Perceptor might have been the safest option of inciting the least uproar, but where's the fun in that? :twisted:

I'm about as devout an original series fan as you can get, and I've railed hard against this series as many here have, but the whole OpOp getting the Matrix, doesn't bother me in the slightest. This series has dozens of problems, but that isn't one of them. Honestly, to me, this makes about as much sense as getting angry that Optimus from the aligned continuity got turned into a train in Transformers Go! - This Prime Wars series is such a niche thing, and will (hopefully) be quickly forgotten after next week.

It'll be remembered as that thing hasbro tried. Question is will they have another attempt with the next few toy lines (but with different staff) or just leave it. I'm all for another attempt, even in the hope that they'll have learned from this.
