    Yeah, the designs are definetly updated versions of the G1 characters, but it's different enough, imo, to count it separate, and as it's own entity. That's what I mean by Classics=/=G1.

    Not entirely. While it does seem to please what seems like the majority of the fan base, it's also had a lot of success with the main audience of Transformers, and that's the kids (not saying you're wrong, just that it's main goal isn't to please just the fans).

    A fan is anyone who likes Transformers no matter what line/continuity they are from. There is no "true fan".

    Personally, I think the Powerglide mold is sucktacular whatever colour its in, but I have to agree that I much prefer the white over the red. Its not like you can't tell its not Powerglide because its white.

    QFT!!!

    Agreed. He may not look exactly like he did in G1, but he's close enough to pass as Powerglide, imho.

    My favourite Megatron is G2 Megatron, who happens to be green.

    And theres a huge difference between changing Prime's colours and Powerglides. Prime is iconic, Powerglide isnt. And besides, movie Prime's primarily blue and it works pretty well for him.

    ... big ass robots that turn into other things?

    *goes and checks*

    Nope, I'd say we're still pretty much hitting the nail on the head with that one.

    Dude, I would KILL for Megatron with an afro.

    The thing is, there's a reasoning behind Powerglide being white instead of red. It's more realistic for the alt-mode. Choosing random colors for random characters isn't what Hasbro is doing. They're picking colors that fit the alt-mode, the character, and the over-all look of the figure.

    That's a good point too, and probably a bit better than mine, lol.

    Dude... who are you talking to? Seriously, use the quote button. And please, please use punctuation or SOMETHING - it really helps us read it more easily and respond accordingly.

    Just curious, and no offense meant when I say this, but could you at least attempt to type so that we can understand you? Also I personally really liked the TF movie, and can't wait for the sequel. It's still Transformers. You don't have to like it, or ever watch it again, but it's still Transformers. Honestly, I personally don't like G1, but at the same time, I respect it.

    Yes I admit it...I am Michael Bay.

    And your argument has nothing to do with the colours of Transformers. I thought we were discussing that, not the movie's storyline and characterisation :confused:

    What you've got to remember is that the Prime in the live-action isn't the G1 Prime. So he doesn't have to be a flat-nose truck, he can have flames, hell if the deco worked he could have been yellow or whatever you said. It's a different character. Just remember that ;) 

    And having seen the "First Strike Optimus Prime" toy... ie, the movie Prime in G1 colours... doesn't it look boring like that?

    but classics uses real alt modes(when was the last time a red bomber/warthog was around)I would have liked more red in bot mode but it cant be done without having red in alt mode imo.Unless it has red camo to blend it together.
