    Tried this. Works much better. Might not need two of her, after all. I find the spinal piece (and tail) aren't entirely necessary. Though, the tail can tab into the "gun" (there's a slot for the tab on it, as weapon storage).

    Shell programs change a TFs personality. Changing faction symbols and insignias doesn't.

    Shell program = like being brainwashed

    Insignia and command codes = like changing your uniform.


    I highly advise that you rewatch the series to freshen up on what happened in it.

    No they don't. They terminate a reprogrammed Predacon if they try to change their programming back to Maximal.

    I never claimed they did, I said that in my last post. Why are you arguing against a claim that doesn't exist?

    Technically... in the same way that that the Suicide Squad have bombs in their necks.

    Your original post made the claim that characters could switch factions without being reprogrammed but reprogramming is required to change factions. This has NOTHING to do with the change in personality.

    There are two different types of reprogramming. Forced, and Willingly. Forced usually comes with a personality change but not always (Silverbolt) because forcing someone to change factions without also reprogramming their personality would never work. You specifically called out FACTION programming not personality. That means Insignia and command codes.

    I highly advise you to stop cherry picking only the examples that support your own narrative while ignoring everything that contradicts it.

    There's no point. SaberPrime's argument is so far removed from the reality presented in the show that it's not even worth indulging anymore.

    I think this conversation just needs to come to an end. It's pointless, now, and neither side will agree with the other. Please, let's just move on. Gosh, I wish a mod would come in here and smash the hammer down. I'm so sick and tired of getting notifications and having it be this garbage to weed through just to see a handful of picture posts and one or two legit Q/A/discussion ones.

    FFS, give it a rest, please!

    Really sad we don’t have a new Rampage to go with her.

    That said, she’ll be replacing Paleo on the shelf Bc she’s essentially the same thing but an existing character. Plus, the teal pops more on display in bot mode.

    Right?!

    Like, I was the guy who (clearly) misspoke and started it all. I called out that it was an accident and they kept going anyway.

    I think if the line goes that deep, an actual modular Transmutate wouldn't be too far-fetched.

    That works really well!
    I also gave "her" (since I'm thinking Transmutate, and not Paleotrex) a tail, but it's not terrible...

    Which is kinda why I hate that this exists as a weaponizer specifically. Now I'm flashing back to 1998 and 12 year old me literally shedding tears, seeing a body in pieces. That "I...am...hurt" with her head cradled in Rampage's hands, a sociopath who was even himself touched by this poor misshapen life, only for some giant adult collector hand to appear and snatch it from him, turning it into a mace for Optimus. Lots of dignity there... Just my 2 cents though, that means more copies for you all.

    EDIT: To be clear I agree with your original sentiment, some of your word choices were just the perfect segue to my thoughts on the figure.

    It's no big deal that you don't know this, but I am in fact a woman :) 

    Paleotrex is a her too, you can't change my mind ;)
