Eva Prime edition
>>5787643
>people actually bought this
>>5787648
i'd buy it if it wasn't $500
>>5787649
I should've said: "people bought this for $500"
>>5787643
I really dig the entry plug colours on the trailer, I have to say.
>>5787655
nope, it was a limited run figure
>>5787658
Most recolors were, they did have him up on the TTMall store again recently.
Numbers of course were still amazingly small so no chance of a price drop

New youheidx video, UW bruticus
Guess even he liked cw bruticus which also stars in this video, maybe I was wrong on the japanese opinions
>>5787643
>Get In The Fucking Robot Shinji
I'm not kidding in the Japanese dub, Megatronus is voiced by Gendo Ikari.
>>5787671
Is The Fallen trying to bring about Instrumentality?
>>5787648
I bought it last week, pls no bully :(
>>5787669
I love how the SFX sound like they came from the shitty soundboxes of old lights&sounds toys.
>>5787669
Wow, he bought 2x each of Hasbro Swindle and Brawl.
Shinji get the fucking Matrix of Leadership!
>>5787643
I wish there was more Eva x Transformers stuff
>>5787675
Good luck.
Takara uploads them on to Youtube but I think only for Japan.
they aren't available in Canada which is a shame since I actually like Japanese dubbing/voice acting.
check the tf wiki, the second season characters have some pretty top notch seiyuu's.
>>5787671
I always thought Fumihiko Tachiki would make a superb Megatron voice. That's awesome.
>tfw Megumi Ogata in Transformers never
>>5787687
Yeah, it's a shame that there's only ever been Shinjimus and the QTF guys.
>>5787698
I'd pay for titanmaster addon heads of the 3 pilots/eva desu
also no rebuildshit colors for rei please
>>5787700
>Head mode looks like the Eva heads
>Headmaster mode looks like the pilots in their plugsuits
>Mini-vehicles are little entry plugs that turn into vehicles of some sort
I'd buy the fuck out of these.
>>5787707
>Head mode looks like the Eva heads
Maybe this might not be possible due to the blocky head shapes on each figure
But holy fugg entry plug mini vehicles would be GOAT
>>5787708
Yeah, that would be a problem. (Not that it stopped them with Scourge).
Here's a thought: if the Eva cast were Transformers, what would they turn into?
Here's my thoughts.
>Shinji: Citroen 2CV, adorable but utterly useless as a car and constantly breaking down
>Asuka: Tiger Tank, totally badass but so complex and overworked that it risks just not working if the conditions are wrong
>Rei: Ford Focus. Somewhat bland, but utterly reliable and fiercely loyal
>>5787718
>Rei: Ford Focus. Somewhat bland, but utterly reliable and fiercely loyal
Take that back faggot
>>5787718
Asukafag detected
Please leave the thread
>>5787720
Oh no, I love Rei. Hence the emphasis on "utterly reliable and fiercely loyal".
>>5787727
Nah man I am Reitard through and through (mainly because I have suffered through the unbridled autism that is EvaGeeks and seen what Asukafaggotry does to you).
>>5787728
>somewhat bland
Rei is literally the most interesting character in the whole series. Then again I also think that episodes 25 & 26 are the best in the whole series so who am I to talk?
>>5787736
Different anon. She is definitely interesting, but her personality is very meek. Anon wasn't saying that Rei was a bland character, but that she seems to be bland in the eyes of the people around her.
>>5787738
Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry, should have phrased that better.
>>5787738
Ah, that makes complete sense then. I'm stupid
Which Transformers figures would make for great Eva redecoes (assuming that they would be retooled with new heads)?
>>5787747
vehicons?
>>5787747
Prime Soundwave.
>>5787757
Seconded
>>5787747
all of the PRID figures have very Eva like builds
I wish there was an Eva line big enough to scale properly with CHUG stuff
How tall is Optimus Prime meant to be again?
>>5787784
mp-10 is roughly leader sized so you'd be better off waiting for an mpp10 repaint.
Will CW Sky Lynx ever end up on HTS or discount stores?
Are these going to be cancelled in the US or what?
Hasbro mp skywarp when?
>>5787784
Legends Optimus would scale pretty well with a human-sized Eva.
>>5787697
I'd love Ogata in Transformers.
I actually envision her as Chromia, think Sailor Uranus than Shinji though.
>>5787800
I sure hope not, Tricerashot look awesome.
It finally happened.
>>5787799
It's been seen at Ross - $14 or so, I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfRXNIRE12g
Is there any hope for this cartoon? So far it just seems like MY OC DONUT STEAL and accompanying shitty fanfiction.
>>5787831
So, basically it's not just G1 characters in a story written by the G1 writers?
>>5787747
The TM Terrorsaur mold had an Eva feel.
>>5787843
hay m8 can you try "the time has come, and so have I"
>>5787831
I kind of lose hope each weekend.
though I sorta liked Starscream's voice here, as it reminds me of Frieza.
>>5787849
here you go.
>>5787852
cheers m8 you saved me valuable time
>>5787850
I'm still hopeful about the actual product, but these teasers are not going much. I guess if I hadn't read the comics, this would be useful worldbuilding to acclimate me, but as it stands, it's just been a bit of a sterile, broad-strokes version of that world.
If you're gonna categorize the Wave 1 TR figures under:
>clear winner
>absolute shit
>wait for Takara
Which is which?
>>5787886
Hard head is the winner.
There truly is a prime for everybody
>CHUG pretender
>mp scaled
>Something to compensate for the lack of mp-01 in your collection
>>5787890
>Something to compensate for the lack of mp-01 in your collection
But I don't want MP-10 anywhere near my collection.
>>5787886
>no in between option
Can't say any of them, hardhead is a winner, skullcruncher is a tad floppy but he works well, meanwhile scourge and blurr are trying out for the blue man group and fucking the others over.
The titan masters COULD slot into the "wait for takara" option as they got piss all paint apps, the voyagers like the deluxes are hit and miss (sentinel prime being a glimpse into the more sought after astrotrain while galvatron needs modifications to be any good), and for the leaders its very subjective since one is based on a good mold while the other is a win where only deco/retools from takara can sway opinions
>>5787886
I'm mostly waiting on Takara just because I want anime heads, but it seems like the biggest winners are the head + vehicle packs. Good back for your buck.
Deluxes are all nice. Skullcruncher is great, but loose hips, Blurr is nice but so monocolor, Scourge is just... average, and Headhead is above average. Sentinel is pretty garish and really could use some paint/stickers to pick out all the little details in alt modes. Galvatron is flawed (the mask and the cannon). Optimus looks like an improvement over Magnus, but I'm waiting on Takara myself. Blaster seems like a lot of fun, and one of the better base modes. Fort Max is big and decently posable, but feels a bit lacking in "gimmicks". I'll just keep my Encore FM.
>>5787831
Eh.
I don't like the implications that Starscream has turned his life around and is a good guy now.
It'd be much more interesting if he hated having to be leader but was still too greedy to let someone else claim the position.
>>5787698
These are intensely cute. I want one or several.
>>5787814
Yeah, that'd be awesome. Maybe with Megumi Hayashibara as Windblade?
>>5787707
>entry plugs that turn into vehicles of some sort
I'm thinkin' something like this, unfortunately.
>>5787886
I might get blaster and a few of the cassette-bots but there's not much catching my eye right now. Some of the titanmasters look neat but they need better bodies to go with I feel.
>>5787886
There's no absolute shit this wave, and the Takara heads are worse by and large. Blurr is the only one where Takara might be desirable if you really need a Blurr with white shins.
Hardhead is my definite favorite, followed by Skullcruncher (who was a pretty easy fix with some Pledge.)
>>5787903
>I don't like the implications that Starscream has turned his life around and is a good guy now.
Have you been reading the comics at all? The war between Autobots and Decepticons was "over", and everyones been trying to get along to rebuild Cybertron. Megatron and Cyclonus are chilling out with Ultra Magnus, and Starscream became a politician and got elected Leader of Cybertron legit in a democratic election after Optimus went full raving lunatic for a while.
But the cons and bots are still uneasy working together after being at war for so long. And Starscreams still being a devious backstabbing bitch, only now hes in charge and everyone has to do what he says. Hes been setting up all sorts of shady shit like secret prisons, and having people executed in secret. He also takes every chance he can to shit all over optimus in the cybertron news.
His most recent thing was trying to make contact with all the old lost colonies. But literally only because he wanted to rule them all, not because he wanted to make friends with them and re-unite them with cybertron through space bridges.
And then they found tech to make combiners and crazy shenanagins happen when they find an all female lost colony run by a crazy ass Warlord who sits on a throne made of dead autobot faceplates and has a bunch of fembots that form Victorion.
>>5787914
Unique Toys has you covered.
>>5787927
Starscream trying to lead but still being a weasel was really cool. When he killed Metalhawk for no reason was the moment when everything in both comics went to pure shit.
>>5787895
>modifications to be any good
I don't get this. Yeah the mask is a joke (waiting to find crashbash to replace nucleon) but other than that he's a fine figure. Could use wrist swivels I guess, but his articulation is still pretty Damn good. Maybe a more out of the way place to plug the cannon in bot mode wouldn't hurt.
>>5787927
>crazy ass Warlord who sits on a throne made of dead autobot faceplates
Circuit Breaker? Is that you?
>>5787933
There's a bloke on Shapeways who's released an adapter that allows his cannon to mount on the side of his arm instead of the front. He's also working on a replacement head.
>>5787886
>clear winner
Obviously Blurr and Hardhead so far.
I'm still hyped for Astrotrain.
>middle-tier needed to avoid memeing
Galvatron.
>absolute shit
I heard Skullcrusher used soft plastic on a part that goes into the main body, which to me is an eject button right into the collective of shit-tier toys.
>wait for Takara
To each their own.
Was this guy released in retail? Titan stuff are now trickling in and I have never seen Sky Lynx. Hopefully they at least show up at ROSS or TJmaxx/Marshalls.
>>5787943
They were but last waves of lines often pop up promptly or are skipped by retailers altogether if they are stuck clearing previous waves.
>>5787939
Oh cool. I'll look at that adapter. I'm not that bothered by it, but it's a bit cumbersome with his shoulder pads. Thanks. I'll see if I can find it.
>>5787941
>I heard Skullcrusher used soft plastic on a part that goes into the main body, which to me is an eject button right into the collective of shit-tier toys.
It's just the flap that opens to the cockpit. It's not involved at all with transformation engineering or articulation.
>>5787933
The figure is fine apart from the head, if the head doesn't look good OR MOVE WELL it hurts the aesthetics greatly, the cannon position is crappy too.
>>5787939
He's doing the head too?
Didn't think it was necessary, just cut out the crown and the chin on it and glue it onto the head, with a bit of paint on the face it'd look great.
Its been done before but of course just cutting and glueing won't help, gonna need paint and I doubt the guy is gonna paint the new head...or is he?
>>5787943
Clogging shelves as much as onslaught actually.
Australian here, some places have too many of him but most have 1-2 with onslaught being the shelf warmer
>>5787948
>, some places have too many
CW on clearance there yet?
>>5787943
They are currently showing up at Ross stores in the USA. If you have any in your area now is the time to go looking before they are gone again.
other than that online is your only real option since this assortment was never passed up by the retail system elsewhere in the world.
>>5787800
Don't see them on my asian shelves yet. The Weaponizer Warrior class wave (With scorponok and windblade) are trickling in though, so it's only a matter of time.
>>5787850
It is Kai Frieza's VA.
>>5787946
Sure, but it will still rot and it's pointless since it's not particularly pointy or anything, and worst of all, it would look bad if you took it off and threw it away like every rubber part deserves to.
>>5787927
I've only read RID and not-RID sporadically. Has Starscream done anything at all to inspire loyalty or confidence from the random 'Bot/'Con/unaligned/colonist? It's like the comics have a really hard time selling the idea that Starscream is a crafty Machiavellian figure and sometimes anti-hero without making everyone else that interact with him behave like idiots.
>>5787962
Then don't take it off and throw it away.
>>5787948
>getting Onslaughts at all
Lucky. We never got anything past Silverbolt voyager wise.
There are 20 or more of them sitting on shelves here.

Thays fine. I'm just letting you know that the part you're so worried about is in no way an issue. Since you don't own the figure, and haven't seem to have actually looked in to it, thought you should know.
>>5787943

>skylynx appearing at ross stores
>only ross is like an hour away from me
Damn
>>5788022
He's not worth it. Don't worry about it.
What's Skullcruncher's personality supposed to be like?
I've got the toy in-hand and he seems like he'd be some kind of cannibalistic bayou poacher/pirate
>>5787928
Titanmasters got you covered too.
So did anybody else notice on the Titan Wars packaging that the Titan Masters give their bodies different powers? Grax gives invisibility, Furos gives regeneration, etc.
We Bionicle now.
>>5788034
It's your toy. Make his personality whatever you want. Change his name too if you want.
>>5788030
But I want a modern skylynx...
>>5788034
Canniballistic binge eater who likes to gnash his teeth, according to tfwiki.
>>5788040
That's neat. Gives kids incentive to buy TMs they might not like for the powers.
>>5788034
>Green and purple
>Transforms into a gator
He minds his own business in a mercury swamp, and when Autobots start poking him with sticks and he gets pissed off an bites them, they start a narrative about a Decepticon "harassment" campaign.
>"Decepticons" don't have to be your audience. "Decepticons" are finished.
Man, I wanna get TR Scourge but the bot mode colors look like ass.
Should I buy one to paint up? Don't really wanna pay double the price of a deluxe for the takara version.
>>5788052
Buy one to see if you like the mold, then paint as you please.
If you find the toy enjoyable, then you can get more Hasbro Scourges, or a Takara version. Simple sweeps!
>>5787829
Fucking bought
>>5787963
He was chosen by a Metrotitan (Metroplex's distant bros, they're basically heralded as minor gods because they're really fucking old) to lead Cybertron, and he rides that high through absolutely fucking everything.
>>5788047
In the comics he became a famous stand up comedian whose shtick is pointing out how fucking stupid Megatron's plans were
>>5787894
I'm late to the party. Why do you people hate MP-10 again? Does it basically just boil down to "muh size!" and "muh diecast!"?
Because I own both version of Prime, and well, there's a reason MP-01 is in my fucking closet right now.
>>5788106
There's one vocal anon who is indeed just "muh size!" and "muh diecast!" He prefers the heft of MP-01, and equates it to true quality.
>>5788106
MP-10 has a tiny head way too small for its body
>>5788110
I will say that I wish MP10 was the size of MP01 because now everything is scaled to 10 which means smaller MPs and that's meh. feels like they should be a bigger line.
>>5788052
Yeah probably. It actually doesn't look that plain in-hand, just that the blue plastic kills all the detailing.
>>5788112
I think that's all a matter of perspective. Optimus isn't supposed to have human proportions, firstly, and I think the only reason anyone thinks its head is too small is because MP-01's was actually too big, and all people can do is compare and draw lines.
Just like how people thought MP Wheeljack's torso was too long by comparing it to MP Prowl, when it's just that Prowl's torso is way too short. Everything is relative, and people lack the ability to simply judge subjectively. No two humans have the exact same proportions, why should and entire race of dynamic, transforming robots?
>>5788114
bigger=/=better
If MP-01 never existed, nobody would arbitrarily hold that scale as being the "true" MP scale. It's just so stupid.
Although, there are still the weird people who hate Legends figures just because they're small and "hurrr, durrr, Transformers should be big!", regardless of their quality.
>>5788121
It's not that I hate that they're small, but the line just seems to need to be at a slightly larger scale. Look how much people hate on MP bumblebee for its size. thays also made Primal even smaller than his original toy. It can very much be a deal breaker.
Personally I like the MP line at the scale it is. It would have been cool if the cars were roughly in scale with Alternators/Binaltech IMO, but I do like the size a lot. Granted I only have one MP (G2 Sideswipe) but I find the size works pretty well.
>>5788124
>Look how much people hate on MP bumblebee for its size
Because they're idiots. He's in scale.
>>5788127
If you're an Eva fan and a TF fan, seems like a neat purchase. I don't think you really need any other MPs to justify it.
THIS FUCKING SHARK.
THIS SHARK IS DOPE.
SURE HE'S TINY AND SHIT BUT THIS GUY IS JUST PLAIN AWESOME BEING RAINBOWY AND SHIT.

>>5788172
Now now, there's no need to get nosy citizen. Skids and Mudflap needed to be appropriately placated. They were acting in a provoking manner.
>>5788040
I thought we been Bionicle since 2007?
>>5787601
Even the new Titan Fort Max isn't $150 anymore. Face it everything is starting to get expensive again. Like I said you should always adjust for inflation every few years. Gen Metroplex came out 3 years ago.
>>5787596
Well I personally just display mine in robot mode and call it a day, I don't really care for his alt modes since I did buy him for his size.
>>5788211
>Even the new Titan Fort Max isn't $150 anymore

Oh, then yeah, sorry. Anything but USD might as well be monopoly money far as any US business is concerned.
>>5787952
guess I'm off to ROSS.
>>5788234
I was able to find a Windblade and a scoop at Ross a few months ago. Windblade is totally worth $7. Scoop not so much.
>>5788143
Furman didn't write that.
Also the Metrotitans were used as spaceships for the Knights of Cybertron (basically the Thirteen Original Transformers) so THATS why they give a shit what they say
>>5788231
Well the inflation for American money is not as fast when you compare it to the rest of the world that's why as a collector I curse myself being in canacuck.
>>5788106
I just can't take G1 Optimus seriously.
Its design is too friendly and goofy for a fighting space robot.
MP Safespace when?
>>5787912
I hadn't thought of that but that'd be cool.
I'd also could see Windblade being Nana Mizuki or Maaya Sakamoto.
>>5788224
Viewtiful Betatron
>>5788260
Either of those would work. It's a shame she's not really in the VA game anymore because I'd love to see Mari Ijima as her. I always imagined Windblade as a kind of giant robot Lynn Minmay, except with traditional Japanese songs instead of pop music.
>>5788254
Yeah that video was the least funniest thing I had ever seen.
>>5788286
Bad publicity is still publicity.

Thank you, Dr. Legbeat
Finally got Hardhead.
Wanted to get a good shot of him in a dynamic pose in a natural environment, and I think I managed it pretty well, all things considered.

I would pay so much fucking money for a little chibi transforming Tarn.
>>5788382
Iron Factory might do a Tarn at some point, they're doing a lot of IDW designs so far.
So what would make a good replacement for bruticus's default back cannons?
>>5788385
I've heard the barrels for Galvatronus and Betatron's guns work well. If you have paint on-hand, I can see the Leader seeker missile launchers working as well.
Third party wise there are a few different replacements coming up.
>>5788387
aaaand a pic for the galvatronus guns

I think a TR Kup would have great potential for retool as Crosshairs.
>>5788344
Thee is a funny guy, but his non transformer/blog vids are a chore to sit through. His movie discussions were so insufferable.
Even the figures he bashes he likes. I don't know, maybe I'm in too deep and can't understand a guy being so goddamn happy about everything all the time.

I would love that, I have their Miko and it's such a great little figure.
>>5788433
>>5788452
I actually bought that and while it's interesting and does transform, that gritty plastic is just so bad (attached pic isn't mine but an example of the tank mode). I even used a special self-leveling resin to try and smooth the pieces out but it's just never gonna be as good as an actual figure. Feels bad. To top it off I also got a mirrored right foot which means the left foot has no place for the tabs to fit together so the front of the tank can stay together.
It was worth a try. It could've been so great.
>>5788486
Just pretend he's driving drunk, Anon.
>"HEY GUYS, WATCH THIS!" *hic*
>>5788486
I wonder if they'd fit in cw Ultra magnus' cab (with the head down), we should try fitting them into whatever figures we can.
>>5788492
The extruding tab under the legs make it really hard for them to sit in anything not meant for them.
>>5788376
Well I'll be there helping as a dealer so I'll be there Friday evening for the setup.

CW Blot annon here, what do you think of these "remolds"?
>>5788521
That'd be nice. Believe it or not I was inspired by her performance in Blood-C for Windblade. Awful anime but her performance was great.
>>5788579
More effort than Hasbro would ever put into them.
>>5788579
Huh, I'd like to see that if I'm honest.
Pledge'd up some robots today and now they're A++!
>>5788492
Yes, but only in robot mode. Otherwise magnus' head gets in the way
>>5788584
>>5788604
Thanks, already have Blot complete (minus the paint), hopefully i'll have Abominus ready to receive Computron when he arrives in a month or so.
>>5788114
Size queen
>>5788607
god, i want skullcruncher so badly
>>5787747
Beast Machines Hammerstrike(and to an extent, Night Viper) are eva as hell. Hasbro/Takara contracted Japanese designers outside takara to work on the Beast Machines toyline and it shows; a lot of them reflect contemporary bio-mecha stuff from the time.
>>5788650
It that things head supposed to look like it is sticking it's tongue out?
>>5788652
More like the requisite mecha chinguard/beard armor
>>5788607
I've seen everyone except Hardhead so far.
And he's the only one I want.
Living in Scalper Paradise is suffering.
>>5788607
Nice shoulder storage for the tail on gatorboy. Also wtf two guns on Hardhead?
>>5788663
At least you've seen them. Nothing on the pegs in my area at all but Combaticon leftovers and Motormasters and Silverbolts.
>>5788669
I didn't even see the Combaticon wave. I've got eleven Rattraps, five Armada Megses, and a bunch of RID one-steps.
>>5788607
>Claws on Skullcruncher
Thank you, this is what I wanted to know.
>>5788291
THANK DR LEGBEAT
>>5788607
BTW can skullcruncher's wrist swivel?
i swear it looks like it can because of the peg
>>5788705
What did you want to know? We've known about the claws forever.
>>5788711
His wrists don't swivel. Hardhead's do though.
>>5788711
No. But there is a forearm swivel by the elbow for transformation.
>>5788720
yea, that's the one i was refering to
thanks man
in all the reviews i've seen, no one points it out so i was getting worried
>>5787718
>Misato: Beer can
>>5788667
Probably bought another... or stole the gun (way easier).
>>5787747
Cybertron Metroplex.
At least youd be guaranteed a good level of poseability
>>5787771
Prime Voyager Starscream and Beast Hunters Starscream.
I bought Rewind from BBTS, mine has 2 left hips. Anybody else have this? When i spot one at a store, i'm just going to buy that one, swap and return the bad one.
>>5787800
Theyre shown on the packaging of that fuckhuge electronic Optimus.
Two of them are on pegs now packed with Strongarm and "Red Alert" Sideswipe. THeyre already on clearance for about $10 at Target.
>>5787829
Oh for Christ's sake
>>5788769
CLEARANCE?! i haven't seen a one of those yet! I do see the one step changers with the "minicon weaponizer" logo, and the fuckhuge Sideswipe.
What's the best way to push out the pin at the knees of a titan wars headmaster. My horri-bull has his thighs backwards and it prevents the head mode from sitting flush.
>>5788766
Why not return it? They gave you a defective product, so maybe you can work something out with them.
>>5787963
He won by not being the biggest piece of shit.
Megatron tried to burn the entire planet to the ground, restarting the entire war with his cronies and tried to have all of the returning neutrals killed by using Devestator as his mass murder machine.
Prowl and Arcee got caught killing Ratbat for the evilulz and Arcee was openly revealed to be still an irreversibly evil and murderous tranny abomination that should be executed
Finally, Bumblebee (leading the Autobots because Prime ran off crying because he found out that the neutrals think he's a monster/war criminal on par with Megatron) didn't do jack to stop Arcee and Prowl's reign of terror (granted, Prowl was being controlled by Bombshell, though that was more of a bullshit asspull after the writer panicked over the backlash against asshole Prowl) and wanting to kill the neutrals out of jealousy because they got away from the war. Worse, Bumblebee had to be FORCED to hold an election: he wanted to establish a new Autobot Reich specifically with the goal of making the Decepticons suffer, since he felt that the Decepticons (by rebelling against the state, which had most of the high ranking Autobots like Bee outright working as Cybertron's Gestapo/SS before the war broke out) deserved to live in squalor and not be allowed to peacefully integrate back into society.
Starscream was the only one who realized the war was over and that it was bullshit to hang onto the past and after Megatron's rebellion was squashed and Prowl/Arcee/Bumblebee exposed as frauds, he won by flat out BANNING all Autobots and Decepticons from the last remaining city state on Cybertron that everyone was living in and demanding everyone go badgeless (something a lot of Autobots, like Blurr and Jazz went along with, along with Ironhide and Wheeljack later on)

Small pin punch, mallet, wood block, small pliars.

thank dr legbeat
>>5788034
He's a generic dumb thug. That's his thing.
Skullcruncher got the short end of the characteristic stick of the original Decepticon Headmasters. Only recently has anyone bothered to give him a personality, with IDW basically making him Rob Riggle, a Chad Thundercock/Retired Marine Corp soldier turned stand-up comic.
Weirdwolf is an aspie/autistic who everyone thinks is weird
Mindwipe is the leader of the squad leader of the three and Scorponok's second in command headmaster-wise. He's also a human punching bag who Starscream routinely beats the shit out of because he can and who basically has a hate boner for Scorponok because Scorponok would rather keep Starscream unpunished so he can keep an eye on him (to keep him from betraying Scorponok) than make an example of him and punish him for trying to kill his second in command or anyone else under his command
>>5788834
>Weirdwolf is an aspie/autistic who everyone thinks is weird
Not all eccentric people are autistic fampai.
>>5788826
>Prowl was being controlled by Bombshell, though that was more of a bullshit asspull after the writer panicked over the backlash against asshole Prowl
>asspull after the writer panicked over the backlash
The first season of RiD was written out two years before it was even published, Barber didn't change it because of "backlash", what happened happened as he had intended. I'm not defending it btw, just explaining that no he didn't rewrite anything because of angry fans.
>>5788826
>high ranking Autobots like Bee outright working as Cybertron's Gestapo/SS before the war broke out
Another reason why I fucking hate IDW.
Basically the Autobots were all pure unadulterated evil for pre-Great War Cybertron society and the Decepticons are 100% right in all flashback material in terms of being justified in starting the war.
To the point that it's CANON that Optimus Prime knew that the Senate/Sentinel Prime were monsters and the entire Functionalist society needing to be brought down, but flat out stated he wanted to KEEP the status quo and just replace the Senate with people who would be about 5% less evil for the sake of "reforming" the status quo into something that was still evil, but only slightly less repressive to the masses who were living a nightmare under the Functionalist rule Prime wanted to preserve.
>>5788843
>Optimus Prime knew that the Senate/Sentinel Prime were monsters and the entire Functionalist society needing to be brought down, but flat out stated he wanted to KEEP the status quo
Welcome to politics. Funny thing is that is how it exactly happens in the senate.
>>5788834
>mindwipe isnt a robot vampire that talks like the count
One, two, wasted opportunities! Ah, ah, ah.
>>5788807
i can tolerate Rewind being a bit defective till some arrive locally. Knowing my luck, i send it back to BBTS tomorrow and they show up locally the day after that.
>>5788826
I thought starscream just got cherry picked by a titan and he only held the position because MUH PROPHECY
...least what I got from idw's dark cybertron
>>5788894
That's his justification for being leader which he shoves in everyone else's faces, especially Windblade and Prime
>>5788763
BH Starscream looks pretty great in my opinion, but it's a floppy piece of shit that can barely stand. It doesn't help that his hands are open so they can't really grip that massive weapon he comes with.
>>5788913
>BH Starscream looks pretty great
Exposed big floppy dick
You guys been writing anything? just started writing up a story concept myself.
