Transformers Thread

@Darth Prime
 
I don’t suppose you also have a God Ginrai to compare them?

@WM-R  
Just Power Master Optimus Prime (greatest hero of all time!).

@Darth Prime
 
Is the size difference between them so great? I hear that Overlord will be shorter than a combined God Ginrai.

@WM-R  
I don’t know about the Takara version all combined with God Bomber but the Hasbro versions side by side are pretty much the same size.

@Darth Prime
 
Ah. I have Godbomber, and based on how large the boots are I can see how God Ginrai’d be taller. How about in of thickness? As in even if Overlord is the same height, does he look buff enough to be trading blows with Powermaster Optimus?

@WM-R  
Prime’s a bit thicker than Overload.
 
Slight disappointment is Overlord doesn’t have his guns in his torso.

@Darth Prime
 
He doesn’t? Looks like I’m getting the Takara Tomy one, then.

@WM-R  
I actually was just looking at the differences between Titans Return and Legends Overlord it sounds like they took the scaling issue into .

i can’t unsee break giving longrack a blowjob  

@trashboat  

 
Like it’d probably be a weirder one to include

@OptimusPrimevil
 
You bastard, now I can’t unsee it either!
 
@trashboat
 
I dunno, it might be easier to include compared to the original Beast Wars. I mean, at least the BWII cast is hinted at being the size of regular Transformers as opposed to roughly human-sized like the Beast Wars cast were.

@WM-R  
I never really saw anything to indicate that
 
I’d saw bw is harder to include cause of its western cgi nature than their side
 
SRW has had Tekkamen and the Garland before

Also the Iczers

@trashboat  
and yamato
 
really pushing the boundaries with that one (SRW X-Omega doesn’t count).

@OptimusPrimevil  
I was referring more to size class

@trashboat  
that and some argue those shouldn’t count as ‘mecha’.

there is no way this opinion is accurate right (in response to a question why galaxy force is connected to superlink and micron legends in america)?
 
Because American writers are obsessed with creating a “rich, deep omni-continuity”, while Japanese literally does not have a word for canon. At least in the sense of “stuff that really happened”, because it’s a concept derived from Bible studies and most Japanese religions don’t have that kind of formal dogma. They still use the English word canon in the sense of “literary corpus”, and this leads to a ton of misunderstandings and mistranslations.
 
feels too much japan-praising.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Pfftttttt…

Oh that reminds me since I forgot to ask.
 
How was Transformers Prime received ? I stopped caring when Energon was around and occasionally tuned in to Prime in the past. Really loved the intro :o

@OptimusPrimevil
 
The hell? No concept of canon? When there’s a very comprehensive Japanese G1 timeline? The correct answer is “the US side always planned for Galaxy Force to follow Superlink and Micron Legend as the Unicron Trilogy, but the Japan side thought Micron Legend and Superlink ended on a reasonable note and thought Galaxy Force ought to be a stand-alone (though they changed their mind well after the show was over)”.
 
And that doesn’t look like Japan-praising to me.

This is Transformers. A bunch of people loved it and others hated it. I’m part of the first faction. Other than some missteps like the ‘find the relics’ arc that felt like it went on for too long and a lack of interest in the writers to actually follow the Binder of Revelation (because I really feel they could’ve drawn a lot from there), I couldn’t wait for the next episodes.

@WM-R  
it’s the “american writers are obsessed” line. makes it sound like american writers HAS to make the shows connected while Japan by comparison is more free to do what they want (the whole “no word for ‘canon’”)
 
 

@Marx  
I liked it I call the movies done right but like WM-R says this fandom is extremely diverse
 

 

 
has been since the beginning.

The Big Bang creates the universe as we know it. The protons, neutrons, and electrons that will eventually compose Transformers are formed, ruining it forever. A Thursday.

@OptimusPrimevil
 
Ah, I see now. Though you can counter that with the clumsy attempt to connect Transformers Animated with the Michael Bay movies in Japan. As in stupidly clumsy.
 
@Darth Prime
 
The movies done right is pretty accurate, I think. Jack is a lot more likeable than that stuttering moron Sam. Miko may have been an idiot throughout most of the run but she had way more personality than Mikaela (and had some character growth to boot). Agent Fowler was more uptight than Agent Simmons, sure, but he was also a lot more professional.
 
Unfortunately, like the movies as time went on it got pretty boring seeing the Autobots easily thrash the Vehicons, the same way every Bay climax involves the Autobots easily massacring masses of generic Decepticons. But even so, the key Decepticons had far more personality than anything in the Bay movies.

I can see either Micron Densetsu theme being rendered well in SRW type midi
