    It's nice that the Autobots seem to be wearing the Autobot insignia. It's as if they're proud to be an Autobot.

    Transformers is definitely on the tail end of those "wait but why?" rebooting (in some aspects). But it's nothing compared to some of those adaptations of media into live action reboots, or even animated reboots. Still trying to wrap my head around Big Hero 6.

    I'm pretty sure that paintjob is an official one but that's smart branding because it emulates the racing paintjob from g1 while putting the car brand in huge letters.

    On a side note, if they ever do a movie set in modern times the new porsche 911 looks kinda ugly and they should make him a 718 because it looks cooler.

    I've never liked the scan on the fly. If they could do that, why would they ever be in one "car" for more than like a day? Like, wouldn't you want a new car every day if it were you? Or at least like 10 favorites you rotated through?

    If the movie presented the bots as doing that it would be one thing, but it doesn't.

    Requiring severe trauma to get a new body is just more interesting in terms of story telling.

    Bawwwing over the name aside, that is one of my favorite Energon molds. Missed Cliffjumper, but got pissed-off Beachcomber.

    You do make a good point about the ability to scan on the fly. Why wouldn’t they scan different vehicles? However, requiring severe trauma to get a new body/vehicle just doesn’t make sense, at least to me. We’re talking about robots that not only have the ability to transform into different land and air vehicles, but are even able to transform their hands into different weapons, both melee and ranged. It doesn’t make any sense that they wouldn’t have the ability to scan on the fly, and would, instead, have to go through sever bodily trauma just to get a new vehicle mode.

    Maybe it just requires a lot of energon to reformat.

    I could see Smokescreen as a Dodge Viper. I think they were around then in the 90's. Not sure though.
