But Slipstream is an Animated character.

Her shiny deco even homages the shininess of the Japanese Animated toyline figures.

All this talk about BA and Silverbolt. Just want a clear answer (looked up tfwiki but no cigar)is BW Silverbolt the same as the CW Silverbolt who forms Superion?

There is absolutely no relation between the two characters outside of them both being named silverbolt.

Silverbolt's character is defined by his extreme fear of heights and by his refusal to bow to it. He constantly struggles to project the image of a brave, determined soldier to hide his fear from others. Optimus Prime named him leader of the Aerialbots in the hopes that worrying about them would give him something else to focus on besides his own phobia. This has proven true and, not surprisingly, the mature, responsible Silverbolt makes an excellent commander.
He can combine with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion.

"Pure, strong, and fast," Silverbolt's sense of right and wrong is so overdeveloped his fellow Maximals wonder if his programming has a glitch. He speaks in lofty platitudes of chivalry, nobility, and idealized heroism; his speeches make even Optimus Primal roll his optics. His conviction is both his strength and his weakness. He sees the world in black and white—and not just because his beast mode is partly canine. The only gray area for Silverbolt is Blackarachnia. His fierce love for the "evil" Predacon causes him to question his preconceived notions of right and wrong. He was very proud of his ability to convert Blackarachnia to the Maximals, and, though most of the Maximals are skeptical of her loyalty to the cause and to him, he has nothing but faith in her.

Actually the eagle mold from BW is the G1 concord Silverbolt I believe

Yes, but we're talking about the fuzor, who is not the generation one silverbolt in any capacity, outside of having the same name.

Yeah, just throwing it out there, since he was part of the original question

Devil's advocate: isn't smiling benignly a bit out of character for Animated Slipstream? Maybe a LOT out of character?

It's not so much that people are being prudish. Those pictures from Yuki, and Kiss Players in general, are just objectively gross.

I can understand saying that kiss players was gross, but how are these pictures gross? The girls are sitting in ultra magnus's chest. Would it be gross if anything that wasn't the minumus mold was put in there? I genuinely don't see the problem with these pictures besides people have knee jerk reaction to kiss play.

It's the way the girls are sitting. They look like they're squatting over the toilet. It's gross.

That's the way you chose to interpret the girls posture. They're actually meant to look like they're sitting over the edge of something, and are bracing themselves against a giant robot.

If you aren't going to argue to justify it then don't be surprised when nobody takes it seriously. Either put up or shut up. Preferably the latter.

I'm not sure what everyone's complaining about really. I mean yes, Kiss Players was creepy as all f*ck, but these pictures? It's just the old Kiss Players driver figures sitting in Magnus. Nothing suspect or suggestive or creepy about it, just "LOL, cute girls driving the Magnus armour!". Yuki probably had the toys on hand and thought "hey, these little figurines are perfectly scaled to be "driving" Ultra Magnus! That'd make for a funny pic!". I think all these comments about how the pics are "creepy" shows more of the desire to be offended of some of our board members than any lewd intent by Yuki.

But then I suppose I'm not the best person to comment on these things as I firmly believe that anyone who is honestly "offended" by anything needs taking out the back and shooting.

and here lies the problem. In my post I said did not attack anyone, nor did I say, "you are dumb for liking this." I said that I am tired of these kinds of photos. You are inferring so much with what I said that it is way too defensive.

But ok. Here goes.

If people are still irritated by KISS PLay they have a right to be. They do not HAVE to "get over" it.

It was a stupid part of the fandom. It should never have been greenlit and the idea that it keeps popping up is a sign of the maturity level of the guy who likes it.

I DO NOT want to offend anyone, and honestly, I think that's the litmus test. If you look at the words I type and are offended then get a grip. If you really have to reply to my two sentences with two paragraphs then man, get over yourself.

The above is OPINION. I'm sure there are guys on here that see no problem with KISS Play or these photos. I have NO problem with them. They like it, that is cool. They are free to like it. They are free to say "I like this." Just as I am free to say " I don't like this."

But that guy looks at my post and says "that's just his opinion." And he is right. My opinion does not invalidate anyone else's. It is just my opinion.

And if I feel like posting it, Damnit I will. If I don't want to go over the tired and often cited reasons why I feel that way, then I don't have to.

This is not a scientific process, nor a court of law. I do not have to justify or provide proof to my opinions. They are based on feeling. If I eat pistachio Ice Cream and don't like it, do I have to explain why?

Come on guys. Let's not pick everyone's opinion to death just because you disagree.

And this is a free forum and we have the right to tell you that your opinion is garbage. You of course have the right to tell me I'm wrong for thinking that, of course, because that's how free speech works.

So you're tired of seeing these kinds of photos yet you give no real justification for why beyond "Bawww kiss players!". Can you not see why that would be seen as confrontational and pretty damn stupid?

But ok. Here goes.

Oh boy, this is gonna be fun.

If people are still irritated by KISS PLay they have a right to be. They do not HAVE to "get over" it.

They don't HAVE to but they probably should and can expect ridicule if they don't. It's been, what, 9 years now? That's more than enough time to get over something. Kiss Players didn't rape you or murder your family. You've probably never even read it.

It was a stupid part of the fandom. It should never have been greenlit and the idea that it keeps popping up is a sign of the maturity level of the guy who likes it.

I don't think "making a brief visual gag with some appropriately sized figures" equates to actively endorsing Kiss Players, nor does it say anything about the "maturity level" of TFYuki.

I DO NOT want to offend anyone, and honestly, I think that's the litmus test. If you look at the words I type and are offended then get a grip. If you really have to reply to my two sentences with two paragraphs then man, get over yourself.

I am not "offended". Being offended is for lesser, weaker people. Nevertheless I find it ironic that you tell me I'm overreacting for taking the time to post two paragraphs in response to your two sentences when said two sentences were posted in response to a harmless picture.

The above is OPINION. I'm sure there are guys on here that see no problem with KISS Play or these photos. I have NO problem with them. They like it, that is cool. They are free to like it. They are free to say "I like this." Just as I am free to say " I don't like this."

Maybe, but that doesn't deny them their right to say "you're an idiot" for getting overly worked up about a harmless image.

But that guy looks at my post and says "that's just his opinion." And he is right. My opinion does not invalidate anyone else's. It is just my opinion.

You also have an awfully obnoxious way of voicing said opinion.

And if I feel like posting it, Damnit I will. If I don't want to go over the tired and often cited reasons why I feel that way, then I don't have to.

Then once again, expect ridicule. If you're going to make a loaded statement like "Ugh I'm so tired of these images" then you'd better be ready to back it up.

This is not a scientific process, nor a court of law. I do not have to justify or provide proof to my opinions. They are based on feeling. If I eat pistachio Ice Cream and don't like it, do I have to explain why?

Now you're just repeating yourself and making me do the same, which is something I hate.

Come on guys. Let's not pick everyone's opinion to death just because you disagree.

F*ck that noise. If you can't handle criticism then don't make loaded statements.
