The news I've been seeing says it's just Prowl, which really sucks because Cyberverse Prowl is a great mould that deserves to be given a second chance rather than the Hot Rod mould. Hopefully it will get released in the mainline for TF1 or the next show.
The amount of kek I'm feeling seeing this is indescribable
Wouldn't be bad to repaint it as a few drones or something. Alpha Trion looks terrible, Optimus looks better as a Studio series figure so I think most of the money for designs went to Bumblebee and him.
Tidal Wave and Cyclonus had my favourite boss fight themes in the game. Tidal Wave was practically average Cybertronian size in the actual TV show, and in Energon (I think), which was a bit underwhelming. Stupid kid me thought they were two separate people, 'cos of the size difference, and the fact that he spoke in the Armada animated series.
If you look at clips of armada it's actually funny because he starts out as the size he was in the game but then just inexplicably gets smaller as the series goes on.
Never thought I'd see the day where Sentinel prime is a Starscream repaint, but here we are. I like how the colors are kinda based off his "Animated" appearance though.One Sentinel Prime looks very cool!
Oh, yeah, now you mention it, I'm recalling the height inconsistencies, 'cos he was supposed to be the equivalent of Astrotrain from the original series.
It's funny because astrotrain was never large, it was his altmode that was inexplicably large enough to carry a ton of decepticons despite being nearly consistently shown to be around the size of a moderately large human passenger vehicle on the outside, which was also kind of inconsistently sized due tot he nature of being both an old timey steam train and a grey and purple NASA shuttle.
I only remember bits and bats of Armada, and I only saw Astrotrain in the 1986 movie, but only because I have it on DVD (it was my stepdad's copy that he gave me). I remember Energon more: Megatron becoming Galvatron (which may have happened in Armada, too), Optimus Powerlinking with Wing Saber; who I still get mixed up with Jetfire, Ironhide being a younger, surfer-esque/Valley Boy sounding dude, and Inferno becoming a Decepticon, and then dying because he sacrificed himself, or something related.
It's funny because usually with people it's the opposite in termsof remembering stuff.
I wonder why Nimoy was only the voice of Galvatron in the movie, but not throughout the rest of the animated series. Because I caught a few later episodes where Galvatron had brain damage, and was going berserk, and it was Frank Welker doing the voice again, you know, like with Megatron.
The in-universe explanation for Galvatron's weird wacky voice in season 3 of g1 is because he got a power boost from this alien plasma stuff but the energy shit went into his head wounds and made him occasionally irrational and almost always more angry. Transformers Energon had a kind of similar substance with the "super energon" that turned megatron/galvatron Purple but minus the liquid into head injury aspect so he's not insane and just more powerful. Energon does make him "kind of crazy" by having him be possessed by Unicron's ghost though for a bit from what I remember.
