The New Designs?

Bountyan · 06-16-2012, 02:18 PM

I want less robots who don't have Earth modes (like Shockwave, TFTM/ROTF Megs, and some of cannon fodder troops). That is all.

Don't get inspiration from FoC, please. Most of those designs are horrible.

That won't happen. VW won't allow it, plus in live action it would look kind of stupid.

I think it would be interesting if they have more Cybertronian-ish alt modes. Everyone knows about the Autobots and Decepticons so it's not "robots in disguise" anymore.

The FOC robot modes are OK imo, it's just that the cybertronian altmodes are kind of junk.

The wish to have all botmodes resemble strict humanoid proportions is junk too. The variety / warped proportions of the movie verse design IS the definitive aspect which makes it unique, not the busy surface detail ; that's just a small cosmetic aspect.

I am in no way calling either of you guys out of this (because I happen to enjoy and agree with most of what both of you post

), but it's situations like these that I always like to bring up. Two posts, one right after the other, mere minutes apart. See how Bountyan wants less Cybertronian modes? And MV95 would like to see more? What makes Bountyan's wants any more or less relevant than MV95's? One wants X, the other wants Y. That's what makes this franchise great. We all have different tastes. But this also opens countless arguments about people saying "I want X, therefore that is right!" and "I want Y, therefore that's what "the fans" want too!". We get less Cybertronian alt modes, and people will be unhappy. We get more Cybertronian alt modes and people will be unhappy. If these "redesigns" for TF4 are along the lines of minor aesthetic changes like RotF-to-DotM, some will like it, some won't. If the redesigns are completely different, some will complain, and others will love it. If there weren't any redesigns, some people would be fine with that and others wouldn't. You cannot. Please. Everyone. The sooner people realize that one party will always lose out on certain aspects and how that doesn't (necessarily) make whatever Transformers medium awful, the better.

This guy gets it.

I don't expect much from the Autobots, but I'm hoping for a more menacing look on the CONS.

Great post! If I wasn't putting my eBay stuff in my sig, I'd put this in there!

I honestly want them to stay the same. Imo, the designs in the movies are by far the best designs Transformers ever had to offer.
