Favorite Transformers Aesthetic

AngryChad · 06-26-2012, 10:22 AM

G1, WfC and Prime. BW and movies tie for the bottom.

I grew up with G1, so I have to go with that. There are a few different aesthetics I like, but G1 will always be my favorite.

Haven't voted yet, but...

1.) TFP and Bayformers are tied for first (love the complexity of Bayformers, but also love that TFP is essentially a more solid, sleek version of Bayformers).
2.) IDW Comics (G1 with a modern feel)
3.) WFC/FOC (love the Tron-esque lights)

If I had to choose my least favourite - even though I still like the overall aesthetic - it'd be Beast Machines and G1. Nothing wrong with them, they're simply the aesthetic that I like...not as much as the others.

Granted, you could say the same about RiD, but RiD has less original designs than Cybertron

Good point about Cybertron, and I agree that RID is similar, but not quite as successful (especially since they just re-released a lot of older toys).

WORD.

I didn't realize we could vote for multiple options, and now I'm locked out after only voting for one. Damn.

Animated first. Then RID and then G1. Funny that I don't have any RID toy...

jazzgirl84 · 06-26-2012, 11:18 PM

Went with movies! Although I will always love G1, there's just something about the movies.

I may have gone with Prime, but for me there's just not enough.........oh how do I explain this....Some I like and some I really don't.

G1, RID, Armada, Cybertron, Movies, Prime.

Crumplezone · 06-27-2012, 12:08 AM

Currently Prime, actually. It brings in a very detailed pseudo-realistic feel to the design yet is gives it a cartoon look. No noses, curved features. It bring the best of both worlds and I love it.

Bountyan · 06-27-2012, 12:31 AM

I guess Prime. Movies and Animated also.

Xformermike · 06-27-2012, 02:02 AM

I'm fairly surprised by how many have picked Movies. I picked G1.... I only need to look at the Datsuns to make up my mind. Classic.

Prime would be next in line. BeastWars (if it were cleaned up CGI to todays standards.) I would say comes after that.
