At least they transform the same, unlike Bee, Prime, and Sideswipe when they crossed over to Rescue bots. It makes sense though, the basic design, colors, and feel were there, but the designs were still just different enough, so this does work

We've had worse examples anyway. Optimus for example; when did he have time to scan the new Earth vehicle mode again? Or is that something else the Primes gave him? Here; have this sword, some basic training and a sweet truck mode. We won't actually bother to give you much help in the fight against a demi-god and instead have you rely on others to beat him up with Prison Equipment. But we gave you a truck mode. Man, we're even better demi-gods than Marvel's Watchers!

Why does Blurr have to look the same between shows? RID BB is the same character as Prime BB but they look different. Same thing here.

For the record I didn't, in fact I never even gave it a thought. Always thought they were two completely separate characters that happen to have the same name (like FoC Grimlock & RiD15 Grimlock)...
At least when characters crossed over into RB they had the same color scheme and basic look.
As for changing modes...well...Honestly I never took Rescue Bots seriously. I know its supposed to be part of the "aligned continuity", but it really is its own thing. The designs on RB are all simplified, there's no way they could do in simple flash animation what Prime or BB would look like from TFP. They got the colors and basic design down.
To me the two Blurr's look nothing alike, but I know they can scan new modes. No doubt they'll just have a throw away line about him scanning a new form or something.

The Aligned media rarely ever gave two cents about aesthetic consistency. Across the Prime cartoon, Rescue Bots cartoon, and RID cartoon, we're supposed to believe that the bodies that Optimus and Bumblebee appear in within each cartoon are all the SAME bodies across the board, with the only exception being Optimus's upgraded body and Bee's black-recolored body in Prime season 3.
Same with Sideswipe, too:
Even the video games were guilty of this. Optimus has one body in WFC, then suddenly has a completely new look in FOC with zero in-universe explanation, which we're just supposed to accept as being how he already looked.

Granted, but the pictures you posted make my point. Though there are obvious differences in each character(based on each shows animation style)
Objectively speaking...you could show someone who's unfamiliar with these characters and they would be able to match which are Prime with Prime, BB with BB, Sideswipe with Sideswipe, heck even the Cyclone Mini-Con design on RB was recognizable. But with the two Blurr's they are completely different....I'm not saying its not possible/plausible, or that its a bad or wrong decision, I'm just saying the recognition is not instantaneous as it is with all the others.

Believe me, man, I was on the same side as you before back when the toy was first revealed, but even before the cartoon trailer came out everyone in the toy thread shut me up for even daring to consider the possibility that it might not be Rescue Bots Blurr because everyone was SO SURE it was Rescue Bots Blurr because he looked SO MUCH LIKE Rescue Bots Blurr.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The Aligned media rarely ever gave two cents about aesthetic consistency.

Just like everything else in the alligned continuity
Only in RID comics and RID season 2 did they actually connect the show with prime.

wow sorry to hear that...well unfortunately I don't collect RiD toys (other than getting the deployers and Mini-Cons for my son), so I missed out on all that.
that would have been tough, especially with only the toys to compare before we saw any animation. It will be interesting to see in a couple weeks if they address the change at all, or just "business as usual"
Also don't get me started on Cybertron. . Maybe I was jaded after seeing some Galaxy Force episodes first, but I knew from the get-go it had nothing to do with Armada/Energon, why they had to shoehorn continuity was beyond me. To make matters worse, TT caved and did in fact retcon it to connect the other series somehow long after it aired... Should have stuck to their guns on that one.

In all honesty, Cybertron was supposed to be another sequel from its conception. GONZO either missed that memo or chose to ignore it when they made the cartoon into being a standalone series. It wasn't America tampering with a Japanese work so much as it was Japan mucking up what America had originally planned for the series in the first place. After all, it was Aaron Archer who drew up and outlined the earliest ideas for it on the so-called "Napkin of Revelation".o.supreme wrote:Also don't get me started on Cybertron.
