What are you talking about? We need more of him. Especially after the iconic quote, They're going to build...AN ARMY OF COMBINERS!!!!!11!!!!!!!!

 

I'll be sure to mark my calendar.

 

I will love this show no matter what any haters says if JDF says something like, "I need Fortress Maximus power, NOW!"

 

Oh whew! I thought I had to wait all the way up until Cyberverse for my fix of Windblade -dabs-

I don't hate her but I find her character in iterations I've seen to be as interesting as well, not really

 

And Fortress Maximus thinking it's most Illogical.

 

Money. Outlets to air it. And market presence.

That's what this is.

No. The generations toys will sell regardless. The age rank on them has nothing to do with intended audience and is about the complexity expectations of age ranges to handle the material/ability to transform them and not choke on parts(toy sales guidelines more than actual intended sales areas). And that's up to the parents on what media they give to their kids. As many parents of the boards here have done, they've shown them the original toons anyway. Someday we may get a netflix gen 1 reboot like what was done with Voltron, but I wouldn't expect it until after this trilogy first.

 

The last one was the absolute worst piece of shit I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing.

I fully expect this one will be worse, seeing that the people that made it actually think they did good.

 

Daily reminder that some of the stuff he theories are either
1. Games he never played
2. Taking from other people's theories online without crediting them. Vaati in his newer lore videos bothered to credit people after he was caught at least.

 

CW on Machinima have not so good animation
Sometimes it's kinda flicker & environment is somewhat boring and bland.
I like the artwork though.

Maintain the artline but improve the animation and the story.

Yeah, they should have NETFLIX G1 Reboot.
Voltron did it good. So why not Hasbro jump to the binge watching trend.

 

HI I'M WINDBLADE!

 

Are we going to have the writers describe the series as "Game of Thrones of animation" again?
The writers were totally deluded regarding CW.

Edit: also are the titans going to actually return? Like in Combiner Wars...were we had barely any combiner action....and it was barely a war.

 

Well I for one am going to try and hold off on judging this series until after it's actually... nope, sorry. Thought I could get through that with a straight face.

 

All good things in time. Let them get through this trilogy with Machinima first, and then they may expand later. Keep in mind when they started planning this, when it finally took shape, and when we see it, are all different things. So a netflix series if started planning now, won't see full development until 2020 minimum. And even that's an underestimate.

When the machinima trilogy plan started, net watching and web series were still moderately taking shape. Netflix probably didn't even have that many if any original programming yet. Hulu itself was still free and had no original programming. The market landscape itself changed and continues to evolve. This is the problem with bigger companies that can't make that immediate pivot as times evolve. But they will make that pivot as it proves itself a valuable asset to do so and money making opportunity. Which it has. So give them time to work through what they have planned now to get there.

 

yeah. i really hope so that Hasbro & Takara could make a Netflix series.
I barely know Netflix back then, just starting to notice it when I 1st watch Daredevil and so on. Then Netflix became famous and evolved.
Then there was Voltron. So I was like, Netflix can show cartoons huh? Then there is Castlevania. Whoa.

They could consider re-release some old TF series in Full HD Remaster first.
Bandai has been doing that practice lately. G-Gundam & Gundam Wing got a Blu-Ray release, Gundam ZZ & Seed series got a Remaster versions online. Dragon Ball Z redo the whole original series via DBZ Kai.

Yeah, Hasbro has been "slow" paced in terms of their media content.

 

I think the show would be slightly more bearable, at least for me, if it ran at minimum 30fps. I know that's unrealistic and I think less than 30 would just be a bad move, but come on. This is big talk coming from a guy who hasn't animated anything above 10fps, but for machinima, it should not be a problem.

 

You raise some good points, sir!   Come to think of it, we may have VOLTRON to thank.   Any possible reboot will undoubtedly draw on Voltron's success to catapult it past the executives' vetoes at Hasbro...

This.

I haven't even seen CW, but the fan reviews keep me away!   And what's worse, the creators/media company/Hasbro keep referring to the show as a "success" (when it's fully intended for adults/collectors).   What's going on...?

 

Premiering mid-November. Just like Combiner Wars, Machinima strikes while the iron is slightly below room temperature.

Their timing is absolutely ... peccable.  

 

God, no, please!! I have to watch it cause I watched the last one cause it was so bad I had to see if it was real. I can't wait to have the moment where something seems cool and then they fuck it up by making Starscream a screaming titan or random dull voice acting from a character that'll appear next season.

 

Skip that with the HD remastered, there's no need. Unlike DBZ and Gundam, the HD remastered really wouldn't bring much to the table in differences and they've already done the color correction remastering as is.

Hasbro's best course of action is going straight into a full retelling/reimagining from the ground up. Generation 1 redone so to speak. From the start of the war, to the fleeing of cybertron, to the earth crash, and then some of the G1 episodes retold and updated. So they can correct the story inconsistencies, and fix various continuity issues while at it and also add in some new characters to have better intwined backstories to the lore retelling. So it's G1 stories but told realistically to the lore. Like correcting the Dinobots episodes so that they were 'rebuilt' from a salvaged squad that was in a destroyed area of the ship from the earth crash. And other little story fixes along the way in how it develops. Keeping some of the campy, but also expanding on it in ways that make sense. So continuing off of G1 after an HD remastered with doing that wouldn't work as it'd create character confusion.

As for combiner wars, it wad minimum a 24 FPS setup, though may have been 30. Those 6 fps are negligible at best as most standard cartoons are encoded at 24.9 without any notice of degradation, at least until HD monitors came around. 30 FPS is better, 60fps is preferred. The CG animation could have been done at 60fps though, and fans would have still complained. The frame count doesn't dictate fluidity of motion, or choppiness for that matter. Thats on the player side or the scene itself. So much of those complaints may have been more towards bandwidth issues as opposed to actual animation issues. There are a lot of little tricks used in animation to hide repeat frames and other cost cutting measures, but with CG animation that's usually easier to work around(you set the render frame rate and it'll fill in the gaps on its own depending on the program used). On my bandwidth, I didn't notice any choppiness whatsoever, and the frame count seemed to maintain at a consistent 24-30 with no noticeable motion jumps. So I'd assume it was bandwidth issues overall that caused those complaints.

Like I said, give them to 2021 at the minimum. They gotta work out how to do this first, and have other plans to work through. The toys and marketing plans we're seeing now, are a bit old, we're talking about stuff that's been in the works for 4+ years now, with more still to come. It's not as easy as saying "I want this!" and seeing it happen next week. Development takes time.

 

What's funny is that they're launching the show where the dedicated toyline is at end of it's ropes.
Shouldn't be better if they launched it ahead of time to better promote the dedicated toyline?
