    Always believe in yourself! Remember what Chairman Taiga taught robot fans at every opportunity in anime kino King of Braves GaoGaiGar.



    Now is as good as any time to mention GaoGaiGar is receiving a bluray release later this year. I hope we also get GaoGaiGar Final on Bluray. Every robot fan should see GaoGaiGar before casting off this mortal coil.

    I'm holding out hope we get some RiD figures down the road.

    Tom Kenny is literally the perfect choice to play Wheelie, but RotF Wheelie is just kinda, um, no.

    I truly think the perfect candidate for being a mute character would be Wheelie, to play into the whole "raised in the wilderness / hardcore survivalist' aspect of his character.

    Had this thought a while back. We all have an idea about how vehicular Transformers see in alt mode whether it be through their headlights, windshield, mirrors, or all of the above.

    But what about animalistic Transformers. They obviously have designated beast heads. Does that mean they can only see out of their beast mode eyes? If so it really feels like it would be a disadvantage to be a beast former.

    G1 Optimus Prime should be an elephant because elephants are "Strong enough to be gentle" just like Optimus.

    As a Wheelie fan, my cope is Wheelie is a really, really ill thought out take on Newt in Aliens.

    Poor kid is traumatized and stranded on a hostile planet. That's prone to lead to poor interpersonal skills.

    Maybe one of these days I'll get around to doing a fan comic for love of the character.

    That really takes a base level approach to it. Look at modern technologies and layer that onto Transformers. They're mechanical beings; not bound by human physics or limitations. They can have rudimentary sonar, radar, and other mechanisms in addition to optical inputs to aid their engagement with a physical space.

    Alternately they could simply re-route optical inputs as needed in various modes.

    We could also defer to Boston Dynamics for actual scientific methods of solving "vision" for robots.

    It's certainly less baffling than Ship from X-Factor, or the Iron Savior.

    Capybaras are chonky and friendly just like Bumblebee so Bumblebee could be a yellow capybara.
    Prowl obviously turns into a pig. That or a cougar
    Soundwave should be a kangaroo.
    Cosmos should be a mythical animal since he has a mythical alt mode so maybe a phoenix?
    The seekers all turn into eagles.

    You know if you think about it combining is really gay. I mean why would you as a man let other men attach to you by pegging themselfs into you. Also forced combination exists and... you see this is why my therapist tells me to stop escaping from my mental hospital and take meds.

    Forgive me if I got this wrong but I’m not really sure if this was just a really bad joke or you’re making some anti-gay comments that your Trying to cover up as a joke

    It didn’t require much digging at all based on the way you worded it

    But hey that’s why I was asking you instead of just making an accusation…….If it was just a joke then fine

    If the new live-action movie trilogy has three years between each release and each movie has a decade-long timeskip between each other, the third movie released in 2029 will probably still be behind about a full decade from being set in the "present."

    Not that it matters if a movie's set in the present but that's usually what non-period-piece movies try to go for. And I get the feeling after ROTB in the '90s they don't care about being "a love letter to(X decade)" and just want to catch up So maybe they should consider two 15-year timeskips or one 20-year one.

    It's 2023 and people are still fat-shaming Unicron. ;_;

    I can't.

    Random thought (that's what the thread is for, right?) they should have an autobot who's Alt-mode is Winston Churchill. Call him "Minister Prime"
