I have no idea WHY they think they need to update everyone in G1 and still pretend that it's G1. That's what the movie is doing. That's what Armada, RiD, Rnergon & Galaxy Force did too. Why do we need one more updating of the mythos? "Ultimate Transformers" would work perfectly well with the G1 designs.

 

Of course the lemmings who accept anything dished out to them (even George Clooney!) are sucking IDW's off in joy over this news.

 

Just do Generation One AS GENERTION ONE. If you don't have enough imagination to do G1 PROPERLY the you didn't deserve the frickin' license to begin with.

 

Tokyopop had put together the best proposal for this brand. They proposed to continue the cartoon continuity in such a way that they were in effect going to tell the stories from the 19-year gap between season two and TFTM. Nebulos enough to avoid copyright issues, but specific enough that everyone knew exactly what they were doing. (Basically, exactly wht DDP was doing with GI Joe & the Marvel canon.) They even wanted Simon involved.

 

Hell, even the DC/Wildstorm, Dark Horse AND Marvel proposals had offered the actual Generation One series. Why Hasbro choose THIS *edit* over those other proposed licensors when the movie was going to be telling the exact same story next year is beyond me.

The George Clooney rumors were proven to be false.

well scence they ARE getting a redisign, I dont think bots with Animal Alt modes should be in it. to keep with the THeam of Robots in Digsuise

and how is a robot in an organic beast mode not a robot in disguise?

So long as the characters personalities are properly represented, then I have no problem with the redesigns. The comic is suppose to focas more on the covert side of Transformers anyhow right? How are they gonna hide as 20 year old vehicles?

 

G1 is dead. Let's move on.

pretty much, it died with Rebirth part 3, and Marvel's G1 #80.  DW tried to resuscitate G1, and it may have succeeded if Dreamwave wasn't run by a coupla doucheplugs.  I'm glad that IDW is trying something new, rather than trying pick up where DW left off or take another stab at G1.  G1 is old hat, give me something new.

gotcha.  Maybe Grimlock will be a Ford Mustang GT (probably not).

Perhaps redo the Dinobots as military vehicles. It makes more sense in my opinion than to turn them all into cars. Coarse, I'm doubt they'd be called Dinobots anymore.

Perhaps Furman would make the Dinobots combine too. That would be sweet!
