I don't need G1 homages (though I don't buy any Alts that aren't)...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

My non Assburgers infected brain can not understand your doublespeak

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

oh you

 

what I meant is that I don't care if Alts aren't G1 homages; I just won't get them

 

And I guess if you like the idea of "Transformers From All Generations.... Now As Modern-Day Cars!" then a Mustang Rhinox or Dodge Cheetor would be fine. I just don't get the appeal of such a line, other than name recognition for marketing purposes.

 

It'd be like making beast versions of Optimus *Prime* and Jazz and Starscream etc.

Well the Corvette Ravage is probably BW Ravage & Jag ravage is the tape version. So hopefully he will be in an animal mode.  Really hopes Cady is Megs.

They should do that. That would be cool. Oh right, that's how beast wars came about.

pretty much

 

(and the fandom collectively sighs in relief that Forward and DiTillio did NOT go by the original BW toy tech specs)

Can't argue with that. The final product was far greater then what was originally imagined.

Although Megatron invading a genetics lab and emerging as a T-Rex would be wonderfully cheesy.

well i still dont understand your dissmissal of the Alt line. You dont mind if they stray from the G1 mythos but if they do - you wont purchase any of them?

 

meanwhile your assumption that "straying from the G1" is going to be solely a BW revival?

 

Why cant it just be random bot names (i mean its not like there is a media  that gives them any kind of story or context or anything) with really cool REAL car modes and Neat Looking bots. and intricate transformations.

 

I just dont see how the Alt line as a line unto itself has dissapointed in anyway.

With the exception of the slow release schedule. But even that - from a non fan pov seems to be adequate for the expense.

 

The other nitpick would be that Hasbro seems to love flooding the market with undesirble molds an shortpacking anything desireable (like wtf? right?)

 

That being said - i am amazed at how well Rico and Rolly are actually selling around here. Alts are flying off the shelves in Los Angeles.

Is that the original story???

WTF?

oh yes.... at least something similar, this is from memory

 

his bio was a throwaway thing to sort of explain why the frick Megatron would be a dinosaur all of a sudden. Beast Wars was originally conceived as an even more X-TREME version of G1 than G2 was...

 

okay here it is:

 

Millions of years ago, Tyrannosaurus rex ruled the earth. Today, Megatron plans to do the same! Duplicating dinosaur DNA stolen from human research labs, the evil leader has re-engineered his body structure and equipped it with fearsome high-tech firepower! Poisonous paralyzer fluids blast from his gaping jaws, while his powerful pincher claw can cut an enemy in half! Be afraid, earthlings. Be very, very afraid!

 

and here's Optimus Primal's:

 

Move over King Kong, Optimus Primal is ready to rock! The heroic leader has bio-genetically re-engineered his body structure into a gargantuan robotic gorilla! Cybernetically fused musculature has enhanced strength to super-powered levels. Shoulder-mounted, mega-blast missile cannons launch devastating attacks upon foolish Predacon invaders. When they force him to fight, they force him to win!
