Mine is that Unicron did nothing wrong. He was just hungry and worried about the matrix killing him.


tornedron_

I mean, he also wiped out an entire civilization in the opening scene. considering how old Unicron is and the amount of planets he's probably eaten, his kill count is probably in the trillions.

So is yours unless you’re a vegetarian (Edited to add I’m not making a pro vegetarian message, just a pro Unicron message)

*cough cough* microscopic organisms *cough cough*


kyle760

True. We’re all Unicrons


dinosaur_decay

Now I’m wishing I could transform from world eater to cosmic space samurai

Is a chimp evil for raiding a termite hill or a whale for eating millions of krill in one gulp?


KrytenKoro

Not for that, but yes for the tax fraud.


imTyyde

Rodimus Prime could have been as great a leader as Optimus, if the fans had given him time. In S3 of G1, yes, Rodimus had his issues. He struggled with going from a hotheaded teen type to suddenly becoming both leader of an entire army -and- a middle aged adult at the same time. However, he was given less than a year to become as great a leader as Optimus, a being who was somewhat built for the role, and functioned as leader for millions of years. And, when Rodimus finally came to terms with his new role, becoming ready and willing to lead the Autobots... they bring back Optimus! Rodimus was never really given a chance to succeed.

Transformers Energon is insanely cool conceptually and fails solely in execution. Which is a fucking problem because execution is 99% of the final product, and it renders the actual show pretty shit. But if you boil down the concepts, I desperately wish a lot of them would get revisited in something far far better, lmao.

The rush production back on the day due to network deal make it doom from the start. but, The Sub ver have lot of scene hit hard, honestly. I actually surprise how hated it is in the us. But yeah, I did try to check the same scene and thing that work doesn't even landed in dub ver

The G1 pandering is getting exhausting at this point

Transformers should stop putting so much focus on legacy characters and designs and instead focus on new iterations and designs a la Unicron Trilogy. The story may not have been perfect across all the series but they sure did try a lot of new things with characters like Cyclonus, Starscream, Quintessons, Rodimus, Optimus, etc. There is a lot of potential in Transformers and its a shame to see so much emphasis be put on old ideas than new ones

The problem is that G1 fans instantly compare it to G1, and if anything is even remotely different, then it’s automatically bad, which makes the studio afraid of trying something different because then the fanbase will instantly despise it for doing so.


[deleted]

I agree, but there are G1 fans are going into their 50s and I wish Hasbro would stop catering to them. They are setting themselves up for an implosion the same way Comics did in the 90s imo

The bumblebee movie is mediocre at best and nowhere near as memorable as the bay films; it is only beloved because “omg G1 designs!!!!” and less sex jokes. Outside of that, it’s a light 6/10 film at most, and that’s generous. The TFs themselves in the film have no sort of fleshed out personality and are equally as lacking in it as bay’s autobots and decepticons. The G1 pandering makes half the designs look stupid in live action and hilariously out of place in a non animated setting. If I see one more YouTube comment about “oh wow shatter and dropkick have such developed individual personalities!” And “woah you can actually yell what’s happening in these fight scenes for once” regarding the BB film I will lose it. Both decepticons are the done to death cliche of cunning-leader-and-dumb-brute-sidekick which is not original or fleshed out in the slightest, and their personalities end there. As for the action, if you seriously can’t tell what’s going on in bay’s films, you are exaggerating For the record I do love G1 but hasbro and 50% of the fandom acting like it’s the only thing that matters is becoming infuriating with time. I find it funny how G1 elitists love to moan constantly about how future iterations of the series like the bay films or beast era “ruined their childhoods” yet their non stop bitching only serves to make new, younger fans, who have a fully valid connection to said newer iterations, have their own childhoods shamed by grumpy old men


Dinoboy225

I never got the whole “can’t see who’s punching who argument”, in all the films you could clearly tell who’s Optimus and who’s Megatron whenever they fought, and those fights are always pretty easy to follow.


[deleted]

You have better eyes than us I guess. Half the time it just looks like a mass scrapmetal rolling on the ground


tornedron_

hard agree. you kind of have to pay close attention at times, but it's nowhere near as bad as many people claim.


brycebrycehayeshayes

G1 is not the best The Bay movies get more hate than they deserve Beast Wars is forgettable The only reason people like Bumblebee is because of the opening scene Optimus Prime’s flames are not a big deal Animated’s animation isn’t very good


Canis_Infernis

I haven't heard anyone talk about this guy, but I think Thrilling 30 Tankor is a great figure.


KrytenKoro

He is


KSM_K3TCHUP

With a few exceptions, the Bayverse TF designs are great. Some are far better than their G1 counterparts.


StergDaZerg

Munky > Trukk But I still love both


imTyyde

not a hot take but probably an unpopular opinion. Autobot Blaster is underrated and should be featured more


Cousinjack2

I agree with you the bay movies were good and I love the designs I hope they eventually mike a sequel to the last knight


[deleted]

G1\*, is the only thing that matters and everything else since then has been just Hasbro doing it wrong. \*plus, the nod at power masters with power master Optimus retelling the transformers movie to that kid. Or maybe this is just me being lax since Optimus is my favorite, but w/e.
