Unacceptable. When corporate brand management thoughtcrime monitors identify a conflict between head canon and official canon, those individuals will be targeted for mandatory reeducation. In this case, you will be subjected to repeated viewings of Transformers: The Movie until you can quote the entire film from memory, which coincidentally is the baseline fandom level for all Geewunners on the forum.

 

Almost certainly Hasbro will reuse this somewhere down the line as Daniel.

 

TILL ALL ARE ONE
(huge chorus)


But can we not over generalize G1 fans as being closed minded, I'm sure plenty of us are, but there's definitely a range even amongst us.

 

Still looks about as safe as a Ford Pinto.

 

I think we can all agree that growing up in a high-risk industry and with war robots from space as his best friends, Spike might not have the healthiest risk tolerances and likely put his kid in more danger than he should have. The specific operating risks of the exosuits are probably on the low end of practical safety considerations for that family.

 

Right after he was in a coma, they put him in a suit for Arcee's headmaster and was right back in battle.  

 

I'm not saying that Spike and the Autobots are war criminals, but the ICC classifies using soldiers under the age of 15 as a war crime.

So yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, they're war criminals.

 

Cybertronians are sent to battle as soon as they're born.....I don't think they care about minors in a war zone.  

 

THERE WAS NO SEASON FOUR

 

This is too close to "is Tailgate a minor" discourse, I gotta bail. Thanks a lot, Spike and Daniel, for once again ruining the franchise. (I guess that should be blue text? Eh)

 

Looks like there's at least one SS86 figure I'll be buying!

 

I always wondered what other things these exo suits can do besides what was shown to us the the 86 Movie. There were a lot of buttons to push when Daniel saved his dad by dropping the acid cover. I assume it disposes of liquid and solid waste, can fly, drill, hack computers, win arm wrestling contests, etc.

 

I hope this new one can do the blaster arm mode, unlike the "Masterpiece", where the forearms spin around to shoot blasters. Though I doubt it. Maybe we can finally get one to do that in the future, and utilize all those blasts effects they made for that purpose.
R U LISTENING HASBRO!!!

 

He can definitely do the blaster arms thing, they spin around for transformation

 

I mean, maybe? That could just be used to position his elbow thrusters. With so little shown in not a high enough resolution, it's hard to tell either way.

I do want to point out, that his elbow thrusters stays put, it is only his mid-forearms and hands that spins to reveal blasters.

 

Eh, close enough

 

Yeah. These two heads are obviously different (hairline, head shape) so we should be getting and Daniel version in the following year ,maybe. I’m surprised there isn’t more discussion on it. Unless I just missed it.

 

Daniels relationship with arcee in sunbow was a tad disturbing. Even when I was 13 or so I found it cringey.

 

Daniel's relationship with Snapdragon in Sunbow was much easier for me to understand and empathize with!
