Transformers Thread

@WM-R  
I don’t mind humans fighting and beating Cybtronians I just don’t like it when it’s obnoxious.  
If it’s with human villains like Meltdown or MECH or even good old Lord Chumley then fine they’re the bad guys you at least want to try and make them a credible threat we’re not suppose to agree with them.  
But with good guy humans they should be able to fight too but in a we’re in this together comrades-in-arms and we have a much to learn from each other kinda way not a “we don’t need those giant mechanical assholes” way because what Transfan wants that.
 

 
I want more stuff like this.
 

 

 

@Darth Prime  
I don’t like the idea of Savage cursing, he was supposed to be a Captain America expy,

@Thanotos Omega  
His also an expy of Sgt. Rock.
 
 
Also in this continuity he spend some time in the 90s before being jumped ahead again to 21st century.
 

 
Hence he has a “that’s so 90s” way of talking.
 

@Darth Prime
 
That second set of s really sells the ‘Cap expy’ angle. Unlike that asshole Ultimates version (good riddance), Cap’s generally been a ‘I fight for everyone’ kind of guy.
 
But yeah, having Kup, Action Man, Arcee and the others joking around and giving each other a hard time was nice. It was way more enjoyable to read than Scarlett’s ‘I’m in charge. I’m the badass who has to make the hard choices, and anyone who doesn’t see that is just a weak-willed moron,’ attitude or Quick-Kick’s ‘I’m the most badass fighter on the planet. Who’s this Snake-Eyes guy?’ and the like.
 
Was that why IDW G.I.Joe didn’t seem to take off as well as IDW Transformers? The cast were mostly assholes or casually killed off left and right?

@WM-R  
Personally I liked the old IDW Joe stuff.
 
As for the current stuff the Quick-Kick thing is the thing I dislike the most cause he went from half Korean half Japanese to Chinese kung-fu guy makes him kind of generic and giving him the chip on his shoulder that becomes the arrogant kung-fu guy is kind of stupid instead of being the guy how makes movie quotes like a saner Wreck-Gar.  
As for he’s win on Snake-Eyes Snake-Eyes gave up which I interpret as Snake-Eyes could have won but it might have had to kill Quick Kick and if you’re familiar old Joe stories

Got Swoop and Slag Slug today!
 
Also the first two episodes of Titans Return is on YouTube so anyone can watch ’em now.

 
wonder if lineart would’ve been a better option

If i was told to re design the Abominus components, i would try to make sure their Robot modes were also somewhat monstrous, like instead of Hun-gerrr’s dragon heads becoming primary limbs i would have that become a 3rd set, or have cutthroat’s wings become his legs with a sort of bat-centaur thing going on,

 
sad that there aren’t any stands that could their weight. even with the lack of torso twist, still would like to see a more dynamic posing option.

@Thanotos Omega
 
Wasn’t that more the Monster Pretenders’ bag?
 
@OptimusPrimevil
 
What about Figma stands? I think there are also stands sold under the Saint Seiya series which are pretty solid.

@Thanotos Omega  
The Animated version of Blot his robots is his old monster form with hints that he has a tank-mode.

@WM-R  
@Darth Prime  
I would be going for a “These things are barely bots anymore” vibe, make them creepy and intimidating like they are mutated with their beasts parts seeming more like deformities than sleekly integrated components, kinda play up the whole horror of semi organic status for Transformers,

@Thanotos Omega  
So the Monster GoBots then.

@Darth Prime  
no clue, i don’t gobot,

@Thanotos Omega  
here

@OptimusPrimevil  
I was thinking of these uns.
 

@Darth Prime  
ah! my bad.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Well there was the thing in Uprising.
 

@OptimusPrimevil  
@Darth Prime  
No, i mean i want them to look like just moving hurts, i want them to be twisted mockeries of cybertronians, i want to have a scene where Grimlock impales Hun-gurrr only for his insides to start trying to eat the sword, i want them to have half their head blasted off and seem not to notice, i want them to make the zombie style Terrorcons look like the fucking teletubbies!

@Thanotos Omega  
 
like this?

@OptimusPrimevil  
Much closer,

@Thanotos Omega  
There was a fan concepts of Animated Terrorcons that were reanimated which I think predates Primes zombie thing.
 

 

 

 

 

 

who works best for sixshot’s alternate inner head?  

 
makes it look like he’s a heavy armor for the character inside  
@Thanotos Omega  
@Darth Prime  
I got reminded of this earlier but what classic D&D monsters would work for the monstercons and the terrorcons?
