Well, Optimus did say in the beginning of ROTF that the human species was much like their own.. I suppose it is up to us to decide how much they are alike..

 

'kay. We also had bearded 'bots in Beast Wars, Energon, Cybertron, TFA, Shattered Glass, Prime...

That enough equality for ya?

 

I think the problem is that yes, robots with beards existed in the old cartoons - I didn't like it at the time tbh but grew to accept it as artistic liscence to say 'this robot is supposed to be old'.
But I think we expected the live action films to have more realism and ignore the bits that were silly. I mean, I don't expect the characters from Carnage in C-minor to be used in the films. I accept that this happened in the old cartoons but just because it did it has no place in a live action film.
It's like using batmite in the Nolan Batman films and when people complain about it just saying: "well he was there in the cartoons!"

 

This news does not make me excited to see what the new bots will look like. The movie versions of TF characters have dissapointed me for the last 3 films.

 

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and I reckon that makes two of us.

The point was that Hound looks like a joke and I never mentioned G1 or any other stream when saying so. Even in all the myriad ways these movies have sucked, some of the designs gave been great and I've said so.

But Einstein and Bluto... Not so much.

There's nothing else to say. That's my opinion and you can have a butthurt party all you like. I give as many fucks as I do for Bayformers 4ever: Age of Beards.

Peace!

 

Is it just me or does that look more like Hound is "chewing" on a wrench than smoking a cigar?
