The official Transformers Youtube channel stays busy and delivers another Designer Desk video for us to enjoy! Hasbro’s John Warden again talks about the very popular entry in the Combiner Wars toy line, this time being the Aerialbot team and its combined form Superion! Enjoy the video below:

Glad to see the level of debate of TFW2005 is that mature.

Love Superion but they really need a better way to get the head out… the torso section where the combine mode head is a part of is stressed and cracked on mine… I'm scared to transform him back to Silverbolt or his alt mode… does anyone else have this problem?
bellpeppers
I don't recall saying that.
We're not in disagreement, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
It's Friday: go have a beer.

Man this is just depressing.
You are so totally right. People litterally bitch about everything new nowadays, even if it's like actually decent.
Galaxy Convoy
It's always gotta be one-sided with you doesn't it? The side you're on/agree with are ALWAYS nothing but saints and angels that can do no wrong.
Yeah, there's some people that get out of line and give others crap for not liking a Hasbro product. I don't like it either and there ain't much that can be done about it unless they start slinging personal attacks.
But there's also people that see a newly revealed Hasbro product and freak out in anger cuz they don't like it, and they start calling everyone else that likes it "brainwashed sheep", "kool-aid drinkers", or whatever derogatory insult.
G1 fans, non-G1 fans, Hasbro fans, Takara fans, 3rd party fans…NO one group is entirely innocent saints and angels.

I dug these videos. Got me hyped.
General Magnus
Ok, show us some quotes.

Salami.
No, people just get attacked for NOT liking something HASBRO made.

The word "figures" was definitely edited in. Lol no biggie. I don't see why people are picking this apart. It's a neat little video to show people what's up, especially if they're new to TFs and what not. "Bitching about bitching" aside, boy there's a lot of persnicketiness in here.

Yep. 100%
Some of the best moments in the Corporate World is when the "I make the product" guys collide with the "I sell the product" guys.
The movie Jobs (Steve Jobs) had some good illustration on this.
Infosaur
So what if he's not a fan,,, I'm kinda jealous of his office.
I spy a G1 Menasaur, an Ultra Magnus, Metroplex, a few others.
Oh was he talking about something? I wasn't listening.
General Magnus
If I had to choose, I´d choose skilled over fan any day of the week.
So, IDW choose to have quality writing, even if it meat rewriting shitty/mediocre characters for a change and this is somehow bad?
Matty
Getting slightly heated in here, so a general reminder to continue the discussion but please keep it cool. Let's not contribute to the negativity by spewing more … negativity against negativity.
Galaxy Convoy
Baloney.
Many people consider the Unicron Trilogy as a VERY low, if not the lowest, point in TF history. Mainly Energon and Armada. A LOT of the figs Hasbro produced back then were sub-par compared to stuff today, a lot even lacking basic articulation. And some were outright irredeemable turds(Armada Scavenger and Sideswipe come to mind).
But NO ONE bitched and complained with anywhere near the amount of negativity and vitriol that people commonly do today. And there sure as hell wasn't people screaming "Hasblow!" over every little thing, or attacking other people for liking something they don't.
BigRed
Terrible, just terrible, it just shows how people truly are and it's not a pretty sight.
The thread that is, the video is bland but does it's job.

Great designer.
Mediocre promotional video's.
giga-galvatron
i don't get the negative vibe from the video. It seems like the guy knows his stuff, he just flub on a few things. But he help make Superion pretty close to the original while updating them and making them easier transform unlike the 3rd party which LOOK cooler but aren't really fun TOYS.
Goaliebot
Agreed all around.
