    Yeah, me too. I was ok with G1ified characters from other continuities, but I don’t want mashups. Could you imagine an Ironhide mashup?? G1, RID, Energon, Movie, and Animated into one monstrosity.

    It just clicked in my brain at the prospect of an amalgam Metroplex.

    This sounds like another Siege Ultra Magnus. Not thrilling news, especially since I have Generations Metroplex already.

    Is it possible that a new Metroplex could actually do both G1 and Galaxy Force quite successfully? Might be.

    I hope you mean slightly different proportions from G1 but retaining all the important details, alt mode, and accessories of the original

    Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed by this revelation, but I don't think I can say I'm terribly surprised

    Guess like a lot of kids stuff during moves, "faithful recreations" were lost in the WFC house when Hasbro moved into the Legacy house if that Metroplex bit is true.

    Not really no.
    Here's hoping he's just pranking us and we can get one uncompromised character not from G1/BW. But hey, I've been calling this bad end since the beginning, and everyone has just called me stupid, needlessly pessimistic, and ungrateful, now I'm gonna need a whole lot of copium.

    Wait hang on, what does this mean for override? I was hoping her retooling from hot rod would be so extreme that she'd be passable but now I don't even think that's in the cards

    And holy shit don't tell me they think guop is actually an acceptable update to the character

    Oh, man. I just got a vision of a black pickup truck with a bulls head on the hood. It transforms into G1 Ironhide's body with gatling guns on the arms, a yellow head with Animated IH's head crest, and a removable camper backpack with a crap load of weapons.

    That actually...sounds pretty cool... Dang it! I want this now!

    Pick a worse mashup next time, Thundershot!

    They probably do and god fucking damn it.

    Legacy sounded so much better when it was just names.

    I did my part, I didn't buy GUOP to avoid them learning the wrong lesson. You all doomed us

    Ah yes here it is, the fear and the overreaction. One thing is said and you guys spiral harder than a football.

    Already got the gif ready for if these "G1ifed" characters aren't retooled to shit and are just the G1 versions with different heads.

    We want faithful recreations and you say "It's G1 Metroplex + Cybertron Metroplex", something nobody wants and which paints a picture of this guy.

    So no shit nobody's happy.

    I'm expecting differing levels of retooling depending on the character, with some being complete reshells, but most being new faux chests and heads.

    It's more Cybertron than G1, if anything G1 takes a backseat on this.
