    Iirc Polar Claw was planned, but replaced by Tigatron because he was planned to be a repaint of Cheetor, but remade into a voyager with shared engineering with Cheetor, thus kicking out one Voyager slot (Polar Claw).

    So I do have some genuine expectations for this movie. My expectations is that the intended audience, kids, will love it and there will be enough “jokes only adults get” to keep me entertained while also enjoying the nostalgia. When this movie comes out, I do plan on taking my kids to see it cuz seeing their faces get ecstatic seeing bumblebee, prime, primal, and cheetor is what this franchise is about. I’m not expecting and Oscar award winning movie. Hell the mcu can barely bring that in. I’m not looking for deep meaning plots and emotional drama. I’m looking to enjoy a fun exciting movie with my kids with a franchise that’s meant for kids at the end of the day.

    That's always been true, though.

    You missed the point. The overall point that started when you mentioned skids and Mudflap was that a toyline was being enjoyed by people for many years and calling out the fact that a specific character hasn’t gotten released (yet) isn’t as good a point as you think it is.

    Yeah, when that happens I'll admit that I was wrong, such as what happened when Galvatron and Fallen happened. Though in the case of the former, I think it would have done the sighted world a favor by never having happened.

    However, there's that little bit about why Skids and Mudflap were removed from DOTM that needs to be considered.

    Still unsure how that pertains to fans enjoying toys that did come out and movies that have released and one that has yet to release. Really odd hill you’re choosing here.

    I think we're trying to speak on two completely different wavelengths so probably best we just drop it.

    Anyone remember after TLK came out and bombed, when Paramount/Hasbro/whoever came out with the statement saying that the then in-progress Bumblebee movie would be the last in the series and they would reboot? It was front paged and everything. Man that got a reaction out of everybody. The idea that we would finally get a reboot after the decade long barrage of bad movies was something I’d been hoping for for a while. And here we are now, and I’m still hoping.

    Is it just me or does Anthony’s character look like he’s walking way too slowly to have just stepped out of a moving car? Like, Mirage looked to be going pretty fast when he transformed, so you’d think he’d have to kinda leap forwards out of the car and catch his balance so he doesn’t fall over.

    Arcee definitely has the best design in this.

    It's probably been discussed already, but the missile change's direction, here don't it? Almost looks like it's about to go inside the TV van''s side door.
