Well, at least we’re paying almost double for the pleasure!

but, hey, they come in a nice box….

 

But they're not actually being positive. They think they are, but it's militant policing of other people's thoughts masquerading as positivity. It is itself negative, and all the more insufferable because the hostility is directed at fellow posters rather than at objects (ie toys). I guess you disagree, but I think the former is much worse.

 

I am a member on a site that has gone full "you're either with us or against us" and on one that's gone all in on the salt. Neither is good. Did you real my whole post or just the first line?

 

It's not just you. There's a shouting down of not even dissident voices, but different ones. When enough of that happens, then they become dissident voices and they're met with even more animosity.

It doesn't help that posts and threads are edited and usually only one side gets their posts left up and it's not the one of the critic.

There are too many cliques here, too many "heroes" with fanbases that give the staff pause about stepping on their precious toes (because clicks equal cash) and the opposing side a target on their back and the other group willing to dogpile on it.

That said, the negativity does get out of hand. People hate Rodimus and Galvatron. Okay, say your piece and go. Don't stick around going over the same issues again and again, driving people nuts. We get it, Galvatron is a stumpy mess in your eyes, people of negativity... We got it with your first post, we don't need 20 more.

But, negativity, in general... Should be allowed to be voiced within reason (same for positivity). Shouting down others gains you nothing but self-importance and none of us are more important than the other. The moment we start thinking that we are, we've just become that person who's helping to foster the world's situations we're in right now.

Loyalty is okay, to a point, but remember what you're being loyal to. A toy company and a social media connection/service... When you could be true to your fellow man.

 

dotm bee, ok finally we're moving down the films with him. hopefully that means soon we get AOE be recolored from ss stinger

 

thats the studio series revenge of the fallen bumblebee repacked from the buzzworthy line

 

i know but i mean working through having a ss bee from each film

 

Agreed!

 

I'd now like Decepticon Armada as a future Studio Series toy, remolded from Kingdom Cyclonus.

 

that’s why I’m unsure about how many sweeps to buy. They started as two, but then became three. But would they add Armada who was replaced with another sweep in the very next scene?

 

In the scene where Cyclonus and "Armada" transform there is Scourge and 4 Sweeps.

 

Forgot about that, but I was thinking of the scene after that where they board their new ship and head to Cybertron. There is Cyclonus followed by four sweeps. No sign of Armada.

...they were really inconsistent about this weren't they?

 

I still wish they'd make an Armada figure that's either a variant of Cyclonus's colors (toy colors and the "eye shadow" he had sometimes) or a new trolling scheme that's a combo of Skywarp and Bombshell.

 

Or, just for fun...

 

Dirgeclonus! I don't remember that one, which episode? One of the Five faces maybe? I love Dirge (my favourite conehead, maybe favourite seeker even and my first official transformer toy) and Cyclonus is a favourite too... Yeah I'd buy that miscolored repaint!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but Cyclonus sister was a copy of him with a different coloring... I don't even think they the a close up of her face either...

 

My fanon is that Skywarp became Armada but Galvatron went back in time and killed Skywarp during Target: 2006 which caused Armada to cease to exist when Galvatron returned to his own time, and also caused a parallel timeline to be created.

 

My fanon is that Cyclonus used to be Life Spark, a rogue Decepticon shapeshifter who murdered Bombshell in 2001 and took his place, and was then killed in the battle of Autobot City. As Cyclonus, he murdered Armada offscreen and had Unicron reformat his remains into another Sweep.
