Transformers Thread

^^^ That is the greatest thing that has ever been animated. As soon as he says “No matter the cost.” My eyes start get that tingling feeling like I’m about to cry. This shit is so serious to me. Top ten greatest animated battles for sure. Number one most likely.

If my children ever ask me what heroism is, I’ll show them this. “Be like Prime son, no matter the cost,” cues ‘You’ve got the touch’

Honourable mention: Dinobot death - Beastwars:sad:

Ultra Magnus was killed by Sixshot on TF Headmasters, but I doubt anyone here (other than SRKer Sixshot).

Magnus in the UK comics, yes.

In the cartoons, he didn’t do much.

Cool character design though.

LOL. Nice comparision there, Az. That about sums it up.

Dude, don’t fucking get me started on Beast Wars Dinobot. The last time I got that upset was when Prime died.

Rodimus: All that means was that even at near-death, Rodimus still made bad decisions. Spinger as a leader is like handing the Decepticon crown to Laserbeak - it just doesn’t fit.

Saotomi: Same here. Of all the new Autobots, Magnus was the only one I liked.

Furry: When this speech happens with the kids someday, please record it and throw it on YouTube. I would laugh my ass off. :rofl:

I just think Magnus had the look to be Prime’s successor, but he was missing the touch.

I liked Magnus, lots of potential for that character. Rodimus had the shittiest toy ever. Magnus has that DAI-AH-CRONN awesomeness.
this is awesome.
edit
all this Rodimus appreciation is giving me indigestion.
remember, he killed prime. KILLED HIM.

e-Hobby Guardian Robots (blue Omega Supreme repaint)

I just posted about that

That’s ugly.

I’ve never been a fan of repaints.

Original colours only for me please.

I have to agree totally here, the darker setting of S3 was more fitting imo.
But what did the movie gave us as new characters? Annoying ones as far as the Autobots were concerned, I never been much of an Autobot fan but I rather take Jazz & Ironhide over annoying fucks like Blurr and Wheelie any day…

Rodimus was ok on his self but not as a fill in for the epicness of Optimus Prime.

Grimlock devolved from brute to childish behaviour… just to keep the kids happy

As for the Decepticons well… that’s a different story… I personally liked Cyclonus’s character , especially with him handling the deranged Galvatron and still trying to keep the well being of the Decepticon army. (“Webworld” comes to mind now)

Then we have Scourge… not as intresting but he does his job.

The Sweeps… well to put it pluntly they are a cheap and lazy character/animation cut… before we had the Seekers at least they had different personalities even though they were minor characters. These guys didn’t even had names at one time (“Call of the Primitives”) they’re even refered to by number “Sweeps 6 and 7 coming in for a strike”… :bluu:

Brings me to Galvatron… for a stand alone character he’s amusing with his insanity and agressivness… but when I think that he was once Megatron, I get uncomfortable… at least Megatron had his moments of victory, Galvatron’s command was just a rollercoaster of failure and shooting at his own troops (even though amusing)

On a side note; I loved the Quinttessons as a third wild card group, abusing anyone to complete their own schemes.

Repaints Galore

that evac repaint is kina…plain.

Acid Storm is like a mini version of the non-accurate-colored MP Starscream. (Greenscream)

For reals.
MP Ghost Starscream would be insane.

Side note: Some things are too good to exist in this world. They’re so good, they’re not allowed to exist.
One of the things that my bro and I dream about is MP Predaking.
It makes me :sad::sad: just thinking about how it’s probably never going to happen.

Regarding TFers, I don’t know how you guys out there can like Ultra Magnus.

I HATE ULTRA MAGNUS.

HE ALMOST BUTTERFINGERED AND DROPPED THE MATRIX. :mad::mad::mad:

Anyhow G1 S1/S2 is the truth. S3…the only thing good was Predaking.
I also dislike Rodimus.
I think I cried in the theatre when Optimus died.

Question: Were the Terrorcons ever on TV?
Did the Seacons ever form SeaKing on TV?

I forgot, and I didn’t watch too many of the japanese cartoons like Headmasters.

SeaKing/Poseidon was in Masterforce

The Terrorcons/Abominus were in season 3

Thanks guys for the heads up.

Did you guys ever buy the Transformers Encyclopedia that was released by Dreamwave a few years ago?
I have the regular comic version, not the entire hardcover one.

Anyhow, it really seems like the Decepticons had WAYY more gestalts/combiners than the Autobots.
