I think it’s time to go Universe 2.0 or Classics with new alt-modes again, enough Sunbow chasing in the non-SS86 line.

It’s time to innovate and create again, gimme a Megatron that turns into an artillery truck and has his own trailer that becomes his old turret his pistol toy had, G1 Optimus as a fire truck, G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen as a shuttle hauler aircraft, Kup as a cybertruck, Elita having a truck mode and being same height as Optimus and something nuts like nuclear sub Soundwave with his cassettes redesigned as missiles.

Stagnation is death, call it G3.

Rumble, Frenzy and Skywarp would have accounts here.

Optimus, well-known rock and roll hater would have a boomer Instagram, Yellowstone, countryside photography and social media slap fights with unknowing humans.

I just remember the Sean Long shit from back in the day. And something about the comics making everything lame and gay.

I just remember the Sean Long shit from back in the day. And something about the comics making everything lame and gay.

They trashed and shit on Optimus at his own funeral, his last words to Arcee were, “This is all I have,” in reference to Unicron, a metaphor for their race’s love of cosmic shenanigans.

You ever seen “Heat”? IDW Optimus was pretty much summed up by the quote from that movie, “All I am is what I’m going after.”

He just wanted to be the man he wanted to be, free from his mantle but sacrificed that, constantly for two ungrateful races and carried a name he never wanted or identified with.

They called him a colonizer at his funeral, no wonder even Hasbro pulled the plug on IDW.

Megatron's Boomer IG would be run by Soundwave while Starscream would steal it every now and then for smear campaigns. The seeker himself would blow a fuse at all the gay fan art he'd get spammed with on X for a reaction.

Honestly, the decepticons would probably just figure out its all coming from the feds and just aerial bomb Langley.

“Lord Megatron, I attempted to make the flesh-things turn on their leaders through the worldwide web. I was told to ‘glow harder’ and ordered to self-terminate.”

 

[Travoltron]

A few years back I would have probably said David Willis, but nowadays I'm not so sure.

Is that guy still around? Is he still making his lame comic strips? How does he make a living doing that?
It's kind of funny that Willis acted like he was the King of TF fans, but he never could weasel his way into the Dreamwave or IDW comics.

The other obnoxious guy was M.Sipher. His real name was Greg. Last I heard he had an unpopular puppet show YouTube channel and was kissing up to the breadtubers.

Never forget that Sipher sucked cock for a G1 Overlord, so breadtube is up his alley

man and i thought i got lucky to get one for under 50 euros, now even more so how far people are willing to go for it.

Urban legend that he soft-confirmed by saying people’s personal lives are “not important” or something like that.

Allegedly, in the old days of Botcon, there was a gay dude sitting on a cache of Japanese G1 shit and was using it to get sex. Which is really funny.

Old Botcon sounds like a fucking riot, Optibotimus getting constantly fucked with, convention toys being misassembled, the panels being a lot more informal and the hilarious fact that I think Pete was staffing it with people from his church one year?

There’s an old Peter Cullen panel from 2004 or so, before the movie and not only is he hilarious but he started telling Chris Latta stories, unthinkable nowadays obviously that would’ve been fun to be there for.

I’m so glad my appetites for “Holy Grail” TFs are comic-based rather than the overseas ones. I remember distinctly when Overlord, an already expensive piece, hit the “Bludgeon Effect” with Last Stand and went even higher.

Oh my God I'd kill to hear those Chris Latta stories. Dude sounded like a riot to be around, yet so professional in his performance. In some bloopers, he was very cordial with his coworkers.

I like it when old cast members shoot the breeze at panels. Won't happen again for the foreseeable future but it really showed how human established figures can be.

Well, cast members having to collect him from whatever he did the night before, all that manic energy G1 Starscream had being from cocaine (Scarface but Transformers starring Starscream as Tony would be fucking amazing), him being able to do that voice for hours (cocaine-fueled undoubtedly) genuinely astounding the cast members and despite this, everyone of the cast I’ve heard talking about him said he was a nice guy who had serious issues. Paid back all the bail money too.

His standup is hilarious too, there’s some of it on YouTube, he uses “the voice” during his set.

The G1 outtakes are gold too, hearing Peter swear is never not entertaining.

This showed up on my feed recently. I was wondering when someone was going to make a video about this topic. The answer is yes, btw. Faggots on TFW2005 cope and say, "It's not as bad as [insert years here]," but no other era of Transformers has had multiple big projects that cost millions shit the bed within an eight-year timeframe. The movies have flopped, nobody cares about or likes any of the shows post-Prime, their biggest game was doomed from the start, and they're releasing too many toys that appeal to no one.

This franchise is in decline, and if Hasbro wants to keep it alive, they're going to have to make something that grabs normies attention.

I'm going to say something very disturbing but is absolutely true: Transformers is a doomed property in a post-skibidi toilet world. This might sound like a joke, but it's a hundred percent real.

The appeal of skibidi seems kind of mystifying one the outside, but looking a few episodes in you realize it's the same kind of "giant robots fight each other" type of media that transformers occupies, but more adapted to the modern day. Skibidi has no dialogue, so you are just mainlining the epic fights without the downtime. There's no corporate backing mandating that the plot has to stop for annoying additions like woke shit or unneeded plot threads that come from the execs. A lot of transformers lore relies on media like the comics or long running cartoon shows, that frankly a lot of people don't know or care about because they are in comics, a dying industry. They don't know who shockwave or blastoff or blitzturn is and get turned off as a result. Plus, skibidi is just more embedded as an algo bait property than transformers, meaning more children, especially Ipad babies are going to recognize them than transformers. Creating a situation where the population of transformers fans is only going to wither as it becomes an old people property, like looney tunes or scooby doo. This only gets worse when the skibidi toilet movie comes out, and if skibidi becomes it's own brand, I can see a lot of investors flocking away from a "dying" property to the hot new thing. That's how they work, they see no value in fixing up something they broke with bad decisions instead of just going elsewhere.

 

[Humble Architect]

The brand isn’t doomed, it’s just going to change. The days of obscure guys like Quake getting figures is ending, I’ll admit that, get em if you want em.

Optimus has reached pop culture apotheosis, he’s in the same category as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Goku now, so he’ll always be around.

The core six characters will always be there, Optimus, Bumblebee, Starscream, Megatron, Soundwave and to a lesser extent, Arcee (coomers) are all hammered into the pop culture hive mind.

The rest will fade, be reinvented or be an old man thing, like the non-main Looney Tunes, the Golden Age comic characters or the 80s cartoons who didn’t adapt to survive.

Granted, Hasbro has shot themselves in the foot (as usual) by not realizing what that have with Optimus and giving him a solo movie, if Optimus got the wholesome 80s-throwback spinoff rather then the lovebug, he’d be the one meme culture associated with the David Bowie “Starman” track.

When Peter goes, they’re either gonna AI him, get poor imitators like the Netflix guy or the faggot who pushed for Thor to be a comedy or be forced to get a new voice like WB did for Batman.

i dreamed of a stand alone optimus prime movie once where he is stranded on earth with only a old trucker as his friend who is played by peter cullen.
he has no contact with his buddies and is hunted by humans and decepticons alike and needs to get to a location to extract himself.
the trucker by the end dies because of an injury but tells prime that he did not have long anyway, and that his final journey was a hell of a way to go.
his final words to prime? "optimus, if you are going to be a real hero, be a real hero. don't be one of those fake heroes, pretending to be tough. just be tough and real. tell the truth. be strong enough to be gentle."

yeah i know, it would be robot logan, but still.

 

[Travoltron]

That's cool! I had this weird dream where it was a post-apocalyptic earth a million years in the future and all the humans are dead. Most of the Transformers were gone, but the planet was ruled by Grimlock and the Dinobots. They had silly skirmishes with other Primitive tribes like the Razorclaw's Predacons. I wish I could draw because it would make a fun one-shot comic.

I wish I could draw because it would make a fun one-shot comic.

I too thought up a “robo Logan” good thing I saved it.

Spoiler: The result of an eight-hour flight I had to be sober on.

My idea was the future, Cybertron is neo-noir cyberpunk cityscape that covers the entire globe and Pax Cybertronia has been in place for years. The new generation is sleek, advanced and have no idea what war is. They even replicate organic features blurring the line between the two (think BW eating food) this Cybertron isn’t anti-organic but they have a chip on their shoulder.

Then you meet Optimus, going by his old name for anonymity, old, out of place, lonely and very low, he works in the data archives, doesn’t rest often and is mocked for his out of place alt-mode, the Earth truck. He gets his morning coffee equivalent, gets supplies, living a mundane life, very few of the G1 cast are shown. Notably his only “friend” is a xeno botanist who recognized him and is a bit of a hero-worshipper, it’s Botanica and she too is a mocked outcast, for her interest in the organic.

It’s his “Dark Knight Returns” because he steps in when he sees someone being harassed by Predacon thugs, gets the shit knocked out of him, but it reignites the fire. He has no matrix anymore, isn’t the top of the food chain and he’s kinda like Kup in that aging correlates to mental state/hardware updates.

He makes a public return during a highway chase with Predacons who launched a heist at a Maximal R&D facility, doing the iconic moves and sparks an inferno in Cybertronian media, their equivalent of Abe Lincoln got in a crazy car chase, was launching himself in the air and being his usual action hero self. He reclaims the name, Optimus Prime is back.

It pivots to a Bladerunner-esque detective story where Optimus and his new friend Botanica (Carrie Kelly equivalent) look into who’s sewing division and remaking the factions in new forms (Maximals/Predacons) all while getting to know this older Optimus.

He shut out the world due to the sense of purposeless after the war, the world doesn’t make sense anymore and the “war” is shown to be the cheerful Sunbow-like days. It’s meta-tackling the innocent early days and the cynical Bayverse future.

Eventually it’s revealed the Tripredacus Council are splinter Decepticons trying to keep suspicion off themselves while they reverse-engineer Galvatron’s time travel tech. They’re stand-ins for the G1 cultists.

Optimus sends Botanica to get reinforcements, to get her out of the way and launches a one-man assault on the facility, fighting Predacus and doing his “Logan” last stand.

Damaged, he sees the time drive and tempts him with a world that is familiar, with friends, where he’s “the man” and it makes sense. He rejects it and destroys it, the blast burns him and he’s down bad, dragging himself out of the facility he’s found by Botanica, who throughout the story becomes a sort of protege and almost daughter, she’s written like TF: One Orion Pax.

He sits down on an overlook, leaking Energon, broken beyond repair, Botanica begs him to get up and Optimus just removes the iconic mouthplate with his one remaining arm and smiles. This Optimus who is implied to be G1 Sunbow Optimus smiles, visibly for the first time since War Dawn and tells her it’s okay. Optimus spends his last moments comforting someone else and dies quietly overlooking his flawed homeworld, no grand speech, no orchestra or free fall into the planet, an old man dies and the Great War’s last combatants die out in one night.

Botanica cries, a feature the new generation possesses then, the planet snows, for the first time ever and her eyes turn blue momentarily and it focuses on the blood splatters Optimus left, the faintest bit of plant life is growing out of them, Optimus saved the future and that last bit of Matrix-enfused Energon in his body is starting the next evolution of the Transformers.

The stage is set for Beast Wars and adds some context to Beast Machines.

A new Tripredacus Council takes the place of the old one and plays ball with the Maximals, the transwarp tech has to be recreated, the fear of time travel isn’t stopped but it is delayed and exposed to the greater populace. Optimus is put to rest in a massive ceremony, a Maximal cadet is in attendance and inspired by his hero, renames himself. A pissed off Predacon sees the vaccum and begins scheming.

Throughout the story, Optimus rediscovers his hope and reverts from stoic and cynical Prime/Bayverse Prime to the one-liner dropping and more…. cowboy-like 80s version. Accepting death with a smile and an act of compassion, saving a future he didn’t particularly like because it was the right thing to do.
