    Heh, "Oh myyyyy..."

    Well if we're talking cartoon universe (for both franchises), The 'cons just never bothered updating to new alt-modes since 1984/5. :) 

    (but then again, some of those guys also shouldn't be hanging around post-2005. )

    That close up of Kirk would make for a good Avatar if not the the callouts.

    The Enterprise almost looks too nice /detailed, but they really nailed the Filmation character models.

    Star Fleet\'s going to be annihilated.  At least, they will be in my imagination.  Kirk\'s going to be screaming \'MEGATRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\' as his fate is sealed.  ;(

    Hey, look. This Windblade looks like she could actually stand up under her own power.

    Okay, this is awesome to the point it needs to be actively animated as a tv mini-series.

    If this is a G1 toon crossover, then odd that Airachnid is there too.

    Looks cool but so many questions in what universe this takes place in... Also get rid of Windblade just sick of her.

    What's great about that is that because it's the Filmation Trek, given how much they reused animation and only did 12FPS it's not an impossibility for a fan group to do.

    My first thought was "this needs to be an adult swim miniseries!" like sealab and others. But then realized, wait, Paramount owns Star Trek, they'd likely want something like that for MTV or any other Paramount owned network instead.

    And it definitely needs to be done pure retro style.

    I agree, let's start the petition to get Windblade removed from the TF universe.

    Have fun with that. I’m sure it’ll happen like the petition to remove last Jedi from canon and make a new one.

    I don't hate the character of Windblade, but I do wish they had enough restraint to keep her out of stories like this and the new Bumblebee comic, since they're taking strong inspiration from a certain era of Transformers. It would kind of be the equivalent of putting Picard in this story. He's just not really appropriate for the time period, it should be the classic Transformers and the classic (animated) Star Trek characters right down to their animation styles. If they want to include more modern stuff, they might want to rethink their own premise a bit. As it is, it kind of comes across like they're 'pretending' Windblade was in the original cartoon.

    I kind of expect the character to fade out a little bit in years to come. She'll probably always be around in the way that a character like Drift is (which is 100% fine with me), but I'm hoping they tone down how much they push her into everything.

    I'm amazed that they used the Filmation Trek crew, but also pleased too.

    At this point, I don't think it's ever going to get "toned down."
    Now it's pretty much to deliberately cause some areas to react like that. So it's not going to stop anytime soon. Those reactions only fuel it to keep happening.

    This also looks a lot like it's part of the same Bumblebee G1 type timeline, so she's now a permanent addition to that retro timeline, and a cool nod to those that like her that they get to see her in pure G1 style and have her included in stories tied to that. And tbh, it's really no different than how any other bot showed up in G1 anyway.

    But she's also not in these preview pages. That's the seekers and Airachnid. The red one isn't Windblade. That's Thrust, the conehead. Those are all decepticons. Airachnid, Acid Storm, Thrust, Starscream, Skywarp, Dirge, Ramjet, and Thundercracker. That's how bad the haters are getting in their blind hate of her, that they're seeing her in pages she's not even in. So far she's only on the cover.
