Sentinel Prime and Overcharge were the only good reveals. Kek at them having to rerelease those hard-to-find Speedia figures; thankfully I already have my Galaxy Shuttle. Also, any word on what's going to replace Legacy?
I don't remember Gridman being terrible. Not something super insanely groundbreaking, but not terrible either. The tie-in stuff after the fact involving the non gridman characters has been pretty meh though/bad in a sense given the whole plot of the series doesn't really line up with the shit they've done pasting those characters into things lmao. Also from what I saw of the english version it was god awful standard modern dub job fo rsome characters. (unnervingly calm character having a super high pitched cutesy voice in dub type shit) In terms of positives though, there's also the whole "transformers character design reference/parallel themes" thing going on in gridman which is really neat. Everyone talked about how characters look like decos of transformers guys visually, but they always somehow miss the screaming in your face g1 megatron nod that's the upper torso and head of the sperg making the monsters. Also the plot ends up being what if a chris chan-esque shut in actually made cwcville real via trapping everyone in a nightmare timeloop with the help of a corrupted space fed? which is the wild shit I'm always up for lmao.
You unintentionally reminded me how back when there still were 2d mecha anime that Transformers energon and cybertron switched from 2d animation to a mix of 2d and 3d to save time and cut costs. It resulted in a kind of cool/unique aesthetic if not for the fact they REALLY rushed some of the 3d animation to the point characters were pretty much T posing at points and the walking didn't line up with the speed of the walking.
Said it with the deluxe one but he's a lot more starscream-esque than jhiaxus-y. Still nice they're doing a voyager (that hopefully is voyager sized) because it makes more sense for him to be that size. Also noticed his chin's a lot more prominent like the animated sentinel in this figure. Sucks shapeways killed itself after spiking the prices constantly because if they weren't gone we'd have a few good easily obtainable custom seeker heads to pick from that wouldn't be just rough pla or brittle 3d print resin. Guess all you can do now is get some kind of custom resin pour setup but apparently post rona the good quality materials for that are also less readily available for a decent price anymore.
This is probably gonna be my default G1 Sentinel. Closest we’re gonna get to Sunbow
I just remembered there was a third party one years ago that was based on sunbow and a retool of a third party alicon of all things. I can't find it anymore by looking up third party sentinel prime in image search, but I found there was a cancelled third party sentinel closer to his g1 sunbow look.
Studio was already a good figure, but this is just a step above. Still a bit small though but that's alright. The Elita-1 is also looking nice from that line. I still don't get why they're better than Studio Series figures though. You'd think Studio would get the better figures.
Damn, this made me nostalgic for the Japanese series and I haven’t even seen them.
I don't just want the shuttle rerelease, that's theone they keep hyping the re-release of. I want fucking g1 comic/toy colors hot rod. I'm pretty sure actually saw it ONCE in a store despite the claim it never got released and I haven't seen it since anywhere aside from the scalper listings that were a thing for a while that used the stock photos. There's probably some warehouse out there just full of the fucking things.
Oh shit, they're finally releasing g1 Arcee as a missing link release? That's one of the more infamous weird looking and cancelled figures, seen a bunch of attempts at figuring out how it would transform and third party 3d print attempts at making it real. They'd probably never do a Unicron with the pricing for these things but it'd be neat if they did. better be orange like the g1 figure was gonna be lmao.
SS86 prime is grossly out of scale with everything else the last 8 years, and going by what's been said about it I feel ss86 megatron is going to do that thing where it's just a heavily modded siege megatron but less shit than the earthrise figure's revisions. So basically still out of scale/shorter than prime but probably worse than this. Unless they extend his legs or some shit.
Amazing. If we could get Studio TRIGGER to animate the next series then that would be great. Don't know who would do writing duties though.
Thank god the film's gonna be good. It seems like every piece of info thats coming out is proving the film will turn out well.
