That Comber Wars cartoon that's starting to miss out on most of the toyline's shelf life is coming this summer! ... on a streaming platform that no one has heard of and doesn't work outside the US. Also, its own FAQ gives conflicting information on if you need to be a Verizon customer or not.
A fucking Verizon streaming app.
How about fuck you and put it on Youtube?
>>81459905
dropped.
>>81459905
So it's shit before it's even aired. Good to know.
Ffs get your fucking shit together Hasbro.

>>81459905
So is this combiner wars suppose to be similar the one in the comics or some other shit altogether ?
>>81460700
Distantly related like how Prime and RiD were supposed to be at first, that's all we know.

>>81459905
Let me see if I got this right. The star of the show is Windblade, it's based on one of the crappiest stories of the recent years, and it's on a horrible platform. Are they trying to shoot their horse before it has even entered the race?
>>81462727
Wait till the writer of this comes out to tell everyone Transformers was a cesspool of misogyny until they starting fixing things.
>>81462820
Is it Scott? It's not Scott, is it?

dont start this shit already anon

Can you fix them with your love?
>>81463742
>>81462727
Do people like Windblade in general ?
>>81465462
I don't even like her out of the general.
>>81465138
They won't change. They'll never change
>>81465462
Little kids seem to like her from experience with my niece and nephew; adult fans don't seem to care for her beyond waifufags.
>>81465462
I dunno. She hasn't left much of an impression on me either way.
>>81462820
>>81463742
As much as I hate to admit it but I agree with >>81462820...Mairghread Scott literally got hired because she used that stupid argument of "there's not enough women writers for transformers and I wanna be the first woman to write a transformers comic!..." and BAM she got hired. Seriously, that the only way I can think of why she got hired because she's not a good writer. And she worked on Transformers: Prime...
It's a real big shame that FANTASTIC artists, Sarah Stone and Sara Pitre-Durocher, have to be wasted on Scott's writing...
>>81465968
The sad thing is I know of girls who have written amazing Transformers stories. They deserve the chance to be official much more than Scott did.
>>81466070most of the good transformers stories are written by girls
>>81466070
I don't even personally know you and I believe it. People on Archive of Our Own have written better stories than her.
I could write better than her and I'm a fucking fan artist with zero writing skills....It really pisses me off that women like her use her gender to get into positions she doesn't have the skill for. I don't hate her but the way she presents herself, she really comes off as this. Also she mentioned that Arcee's origin story was offensive....
"Arcee’s origin is offensive because we don’t have any other female origins to balance it. We’re working on it, stay tuned."
Yea that's why Arcee Spotlight was offensive....Because we don't have other female transformer spotlights......

...So hey Knockout easter egg in RiD2015.
>>81468076
I'd like to be excited but either it's just an easter egg and that's it or it's the start of Knock Out showing up in rid and them completely fucking over his character
so...yay
>>81468161
There's less than a handful of episodes left before they cap off the series with a movie. What are the chances really ?
>>81468472
Thought seasons 3 and 4 were confirmed on twitter. I don't have the cap but it's some person's post with a moleskine notebook with the RID15 logo on it.
>>81463770
>George Krstic
Wasn't he from Megas XLR?
Nice.
There's nothing wrong with feminist critique but Scott is still a boring writer.
>>81468076
Sad that's better than Knockout showing up in that one awful comic.
>>81470479
Just thankful it hasn't gotten to the point where criticizing writing ability gets you labeled a sexist. What are expectations with taao anyway ? its basically Windblade v3 yes ?
>>81471371
>Just thankful it hasn't gotten to the point where criticizing writing ability gets you labeled a sexist.
Seen it happen. Too late.
>>81471371
>What are expectations with taao anyway ?
Considering they still haven't fixed the mistake in the title, not high.
>>81472241
Mistake?
>>81471371
So far it looks like they continue where the previous Windblade series left off with the council and colonies, just with a different artist.
>Fan-favorite superstars Mairghread Scott (Windblade, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy television show) and Sara Pitre-Durocher (Combiner Hunters, Transformers) reunite!
Laying it a bit thick there, solicitations.
>>81472708
Solicitations are by nature over the top.
>>81472750
In the world of comics everyone can be a superstar!
>>81465462
She's kinda just there for most.
I think she has potential but so far they're not utilizing her right. I personally think her personality should be a mix of Celty from Durarara and Saya from Blood+.
and yes I want Kari Wahlgren to voice her.
>>81468076
oh god.
Something tells me we'll see him again in the 3rd of 4th season. Then again Polygon Pictures does re-use their models, still It can't be a coincidence it's the same deco as Knockout's.
also if anyone wants the link to the previous thread.
>>81293778
here you go.
>>81465968
>This meme still exists
>>81466835
Its the classic issue. In any minority because youusually only have a token, everything that token does is now representative.
If you have one chick, and she goes fucking crazy, that sends a fucked message. Same as if the one black guy dies or if the one black guy with any character is a total dick or if the one gay guy dies.
>>81465462
I liked her when we didn't know too much about her, but after more and more material came out I grew to dislike her the most out of the introduced fembots. She's just too "generic protagonist" for me.
>>81473617
Didnt RiD turn her into basically Kimg Arthur
>>81468076
They also had they random orange Airrachnid show up in an episode on Glowstrike's ship.
That was weird.
>>81473625
Yes.
>>81473625
>>81473695
I kind of thought RiD was making fun of the Mary Sue stuff - making everybody except Strongarm think she's super amazing and wonderful when really she's completely reckless.
>>81473617
>>81473625
No she's a magical girl on a mission from Primus.
>>81472302
The series is named Till All Are One
The phrase is 'Til All Are One. As in, Until All Are One. Till is not the short form of until.
>>81474579
Maybe the series is about them running a small corner store?
>>81465462I don't think anybody wants (or ready for) WinDrift.
Why is a female robot the cover when the story is about the gestalts????
>>81468076
I wish RID2015 has some cool 'cons and more autobots.
>>81469996
If chicks dig giant robots, what do giant robot chicks dig?
>>81474579
I think till is also accepted as the more informal form of until, it's just more common outside US. They probably didn't want to use the apostrophe in the title (until would have been better anyway).
>>81475645
tiny men
>>81475487
>Do you not like her yet?
>Should we put her on more things?
>You will like her
>Do you like her now, huh? Huh?
>>81475754
If Powermasters/Headmasters are tiny men that attach to Transformers;
and Breastforce are mechanical beasts that attach to Transformers;
do you think Breastmasters could possibly exist?
>>81474579
>In most contexts, till and until have the same meaning and are interchangeable. The main difference is that till is generally considered to be more informal than until. Until occurs much more frequently than till in writing. In addition, until tends to be the natural choice at the beginning of a sentence: until very recently, there was still a chance of rescuing the situation . Interestingly, while it is commonly assumed that till is an abbreviated form of until (the spellings ‘till and ’ til reflect this), till is in fact the earlier form. Until appears to have been formed by the addition of Old Norse und (‘as far as’) several hundred years after the date of the first records for till.
Do you know more about the history of the English language than the editors of the OED?
enough about windblade, what do you guys think about camiens in general?
>>81476065
Not gay enough.
>>81476136
Only under Scott.
Under Roberts or Barber is a different story.
any preview for exrid 52?
>>81465462
I dig the look of her toys. The kabuki samurai thing is nice.
Dunno shit about her otherwise though, not that far into the comics yet and I don't watch any of the cartoons since Prime because I don't even know when the fuck they're on.
That and most of them use the "stylized slimbot" look that looks absolutely fucking terrible. Transformers should be somewhat bulky and boxy, not all smooth lines and looking like BTAS.
>>81476510
I just realized human Optimus looked a lot like David Kaye.
>>81466835
>"Arcee’s origin is offensive because we don’t have any other female origins to balance it. We’re working on it, stay tuned."
How can one person miss the fucking point so hard. Holy shit. Arcee's origin isn't offensive because it's a fucking psychopath, it's offensive because they turned the "original" (yeah I know she wasn't the first but she was the most prominent) femmbot into a fucking tranny because the writer at the time was a literal autist who couldn't deal with the idea there could be female robots.
It was offensive because it was a shitty story and should've been corrected by an editor and Furman slapped for being a fucking idiot, not because Arcee is a murderous psychopath.
>>81476065
Their tendency to be overly religious and somewhat thickheaded is kind of interesting, since the other Cybertronians don't display religious tendencies that much. Let's see what comes out of their overt respect of Prime. They've already been somewhat surprised (or disappointed) that he doesn't have an official position on Cybertron.
>>81476609
Don't get me wrong, I loved BTAS and most of the original DCAU.
But fuck if that sort of style doesn't fit Transformers at all. The RiD/Prime designs are damn close to it as well. I wish they'd stop doing that.
>>81476629
Both the editor and Furman deserve to be slapped for letting that abomination of a story to ever see the light of day.
>>81475442
It might actually happen in RID,
>>81476629
ow, the edge
>>81476021
Since language evolves and nobody ever uses "till" in that fashion anymore, the title is still crap. Not to mention that it's always been "'til" in the franchise.
>>81476834
Should've just changed her issues as something like spark-tampering or other scientific atrocities rather than outright gender change in that one page and several dialogues while keeping her gender.
I mean Thunderwing and Monstructor went insane from science gone wrong, Arcee getting furious at being turned into something like a living weapon can still be a legit backstory, even if it has been done one too many.
>>81476834
>>81477091
Still surprised no one has retconned it.
"Hey retard, you were a woman all along, Jhiaxus actually just cranked your rage-o-meter to 1000% efficiency and thats why you can't stop being a murderous asshole."
>>81476971
Let it go man, just because you don't like it no need to continue raging about it.
>>81477146
didn't furman throw a shitfit when they soft retconned the no girls thing with the colonies?
>>81477146
furman threw a massive fit when he found out they were writing in more females, complaining that they were retconning his writing by doing that
now imagine if they actually did what you're saying
Speaking of the colonies and bad writing, they (read: Scott) make a point of Devision being special by having two representatives, but Eukaris and Tempo/Carcer and Velocitron each have two as well.
>>81477204
Who says I'm raging? Dislike does not automatically equal rage.
>>81477241
>>81477251
The best part is, It retconned nothing and fit perfectly around the concepts he wrote. He threw the shitfit over nothing.
>>81477251
Good, fuck him. He's one writer, he isn't anything special. He's not Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman, he's a fucking shitter.
He should've been thrown out the door the moment he proposed the idea of no female robots. That shit has existed since G1.
>>81477091
>>81477146
>>81477251
This is starting to sound like an increasingly good idea.
>>81460684
Well GI Joe is a highly niche line. Who's man collector base threw a fit over upgrading the designs that would increase the hight by a quarter inch.
>>81477241
>>81477251
Another problem is IDW didn't think in long terms, by restraining Furman earlier and told him they want to use more fembots in the future, they could have saved us a lot of headaches.
Instead, they just roll with it until someone complained.
And I'm confused with Furman's spergout too, especially considering that he was a-okay with fembots (almost) appearance and having their own plotline back in Dreamwave days, before it went kabonk.
Or how he actually did use fembot characters in 3H Beast Wars comics.
>>81477502
Isn't GI Joe now cancelled?
>>81477700
Is that why Scioli went insane with TF/GI Joe?
>>81477590
So did they burn bridges with Furman over Arcee or something ?
>>81477970
Dunno, thought I saw something about Hasbro ending GI Joe's toy lines or something. Might've been an April Fools or something though.
>>81478030
I think a lot of the reasons for GI Joe getting the shaft is due to Isis and terrorism in general. Hard to make a franchise work when it's about Americans fighting terrorism and still have it be a feel good buy our toys series.
I just want the Joe characters to be incorporated in the franchise a bit more.
>>81477974
Nah, it's probably over AHM.
>>81478084
You'd figure a toy line about killin' dem turrists in Durkaturkastan would be just what people want, given how anti-Sandland we are in the US right now.
>風刀
>expecting some weebshit
>it's just a bunch of chinese air knives

>>81459905
Fantastic job on ruining the series before it even aired. I'm not a person who tries to bash Hasbro, I love them, but I have to call out this bullshit.
>Literally who streaming service
>May or may not be Verizon only
>Only available on mobile devices
>Doesn't work outside the US.
>More Windblade being forced into everything
>Series is about a toyline that's already being pushed off shelves to make way for the new gimmick
>Combiner wars itself wasn't even that fantastic
They should have had this ready last summer, or have planned to do a Titan Returns series instead. I'm trying to enjoy Transformers media, I feel like the comics are decent, but can vary. I saw RiD was on Netflix, was that any decent at least?
>>81478325
Whoops, got the only other tumblr filename.
>>81478084
Who wants to write about "religion of peeeeeace" anyway ?
Like that bit in ex-RiD 51 is just tacky.
>>81478332
>>Series is about a toyline that's already being pushed off shelves to make way for the new gimmick
They still have to release the Onslaught+Brawl running changes, Computron, Victorion, some G2 sets, and possibly Takara Groove and Blastoff. TR isn't coming out until end of summer or sometime fall, they gotta fill the shelves until then.
>>81478446
So Victorion isn't even out yet?
Huh.
>>81478660
Yep. Though who knows if we're getting the Onslaught+Brawl recolors at this point, kind of odd they haven't popped up and theres been no mention of them.
Shit, we only learned a few weeks ago by way of some asian store that Groove has been packaged in english packaging.
>>81478446
What's the Brawl running change? Fixing the waist or just a different color?
Also, those aren't major wave releases. They're box sets that not everyone will get. The next wave release is TR, which will probably coming out at the end of the summer. I know they said fall, but they've been releasing some things earlier than expected these days.
>>81478949
Color change, same as Onslaught, whose Bruticus chest shield is getting a recolor.
>>81479242
Right, I knew about Onslaught already, just not Brawl. Too bad they're not slightly changing that waist, oh well.
This is going to be cyber missions tier. Probably worse.
>>81478317
that's the thing.
they want an international appeal for the franchise and GI Joe just doesn't have it.
>>81479431
this one has real writers writing, one of them worked on Megas XLR.
also here's more info about Combiner Wars.
>Taking place 40 years after the great war on Earth, Transformers: Combiner Wars introduces new lore and all-new characters that, combined with the characters fans have known for decades, will bring the Transformers storytelling in a new direction.
>The Autobots and Decepticons have disbanded and returned to Cybertron. With the days of Optimus Prime and Megatron over, Cybertron is now ruled by a triumvirate. However, an ancient technology has enabled a new threat, the power for multiple Transformers to combine into one massive, dangerous form: Combiners. Who will stand-up to this threat to ensure that the fragile peace that was 4 million years in the making remains?
so basically this is a G1 series.
>>81479431
for some reason, i want it to be similar to cyber missions.
>>81479242
>>81479407
It's unknown if Onslaught is ever getting that recolor, specially since it was almost unanimously hated by everyone, and they were apparently releasing the brown version first (which didn't happen).
Brawl on the other hand, might be getting released in the deluxe wave revision 1, since that version includes 2 Sky-Reign components, and the Combaticons again.
>>81480348
>they want an international appeal for the franchise and GI Joe just doesn't have it.
But hating Sandlandians is at an all-time high thanks to the 'migrant' waves.
It should be a hit.
>>81480734
Yeah but not with MURRICUH as the main hero. Rest of the world hates America as much as sand niggers honestly.
>>81480794
So just call them Gestapo Karl for Germany, Swedish Stormers in Sweden, etc.
>>81480794
and that's the fucking problem.
Transformers got made into a movie first because of the anti-american sentiments around the world.
personally I think americans are part of the problem but so is the rest of the world, Canada included for thinking they're somehow more morally superior.
point is, everyone can get fucked.
except you guys, you're alright.
point is I just want more Cobra Commander.
Lets post best music device.
>>81480855
I'm still mad he's part of the mutiny.
Blaster and Rewind never once ever interacted in any way.
>>81480951
Yeah I'm wondering how they're gonna write this out. I wonder if the marooned crew mates are just going to go and get a new ship or if Drift and Ratchet are going to retake the lost light and some of the old crew will ask for forgiveness.
>>81462213
metalhawk is such a shitty design
>>81463742
he's not wrong though
>>81480951
What, really? The fucking tapebots don't interact with Blaster at all?
>>81481059
Well, there are so many bots on the ship that they can't all be interacting.
>>81481005
I kinda hope the 3rd season of the comics has some adventures with the mutiny but with more bad shit keeps happening to them, someone dies, anarchy takes over the ship it's all chaos, by the time Rodimus and co. come back to take the ship, they're on their knees begging for forgiveness.
>>81481059
