A team of both Renegades and Guardians came to this universe, disguised themselves as Autobots and Decepticons, and worked within both factions to find a solution to the event that was destroying their home universe. Treds got in with the Decepticons to basically keep an eye on Bug Bite and Bad Boy.
Which was itself based on her Hanna-Barbera cartoon face.Emerje wrote:The new head sculpt is pretty interesting, not just because we got one, but because it's based her Fun Publications (BotCon) Timelines design.
I'd love that too, I just watched the whole series along with an old college friend, and we plan to try out my Battle of the Rock Lords VHS on his birthday. There IS enough of a following, but there's also the 3-way legal tug-of-war between Hasbro owning the characters, Bandai owning the original Machine Robo toys and related designs, and Time Warner owning the cartoon and likeness rights that would be necessary to produce Gobot toys in the Generations/Masterpiece style emphasizing accuracy to vintage fiction that Transformers have been enjoying for 2 decades now. Gobots deserves it, but 3 parties each demanding their pound of flesh just doesn't make it economically viable.As an avid gobot fan why oh why Is she orange lol. I was hoping for red. I get it it’s timeline stuff but man I’m ready for real modern gobot toys
Actions Toys was somehow able to get away with making an animation-accurate Cy-Kill face for one of their updated Bike Robo figures in their official Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos line, so it seems other companies working directly with Bandai instead of Hasbro might have it easier.Sowndwave76 wrote:But from what it sounds, there may be a couple too many hurdles for this to ever happen.

She was yellow in her first Timelines fiction appearance, too.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Wait, why is this new Small Foot orange when the original toy was yellow?
Timelines colors to go with the Timelines face sculpt.

The same appearance which used the pink color of the face from the toy, while the later one instead made her face the same light gray as her thighs.

Yes, yes he is. He's a truly excellent update.
And a truly great commander figure on his own, even if you don't have experience with the original.
