Nickelodeon Juxtaposes Earthspark Characters to their G1 Counterparts

I really love these designs.

Let's hope there will be Generations style toys to do them justice.

I would not get my hopes up at all. As with Cyberverse, what we will get will be deluxe class bots. So probably decent toys but all the same height.

Bumblebee isn't very evergreen either, and Optimus is only partially evergreen in bot mode (then again, his design is as much G1 as it is evergreen). I thought G1 fans would like this post since it shows that Nickelodeon values the roots of these characters and knows where they are coming from, making the show a reinvention of G1. Showing a deliberate throughline in the designs.

I wonder where the G1 Elita One art came from. It is a frame from "The search for Alpha Trion"?

Megatron looks good, but I thought it was pretty cool how Megatron designs kept changing with each cartoon.

They all look awesome to me.

Megatron and Bumblebee look so sharp. I love the Megatron design particularly

(kidding, I don't really care, just found it odd.)

..No? It's definitely on his right arm.

Notes for cool things:

SUPER MOM! Yeah, we need more of those

Is that Swindle I see there? Really cool! hopefully we get the other combaticons too.

I wonder if Skullcruncher will actually be in this long enough to warrant a new toy, or we'll just get Cyberverse Skullcruncher in in Earthspark packaging, ala Cyberverse Blurr.

I like how Thrash and Twitch's connection to the kids is reminiscent of Headmaster binary-bonding, relationships explored repeatedly in TF comics, but not so much in animation.

Love the love that Skullcruncher keeps getting lately.

Also, far out hope I know, but given that RiD2015 gave us a new take on Doublecross/Twinferno, and Cyberverse gave us the Repugnus, I want Grotusque in some capacity to show up in the toyline or show briefly here, giving us a complete set up 2010's/2020's Monsterbots

You read my mind! I'm thinking of getting a 2015 twinferno, and if earth spark d[esng giveus a grotesque, I was thinking of making one from movie legends grimlock.
