Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Great analogy, R2 D2 got on my nerves too (well in the original trilogy, I actually liked him in the prequels). / -b. What??? that's blasphemous... ok, but at least you're consistent... please don't tell me you hate darth vader and g1 megatron. the best part of beast wars was when ravage is conformed till he sees G1 megatron's image. he is moved by the sight of his leader... i stood up and cheered. i felt the same way as ravage and was ready to get up and follow him.

Gakken85 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I don't argue that G1 isn't crap, though the movie is the best piece of Transformers media ever made. I do argue that watching robots turn into rats is stupid. Not just the concept, but the original beast toys were shellformers If you contend that G1 was only there to sell toys than you must contend that beast wars only existed to sell more toys as the G1 toys stopped selling and they had to do something else... and that something else was silly. Maybe it has a good story, but so does War and peace and I'm not gonna read that either. Though.. I think I read part of that... I'm here for Flash cars/planes and blocky robots. Or bust Edited July 26, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - I do strive for consistency. Vader: OT is awesome, PT is not. Megatron: has been pretty much the same in every incarnation that I've seen him in (G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines and in the live action films) - evil, bumbling, funny, and incredibly capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. And yeah, I like him for what he is. I do love G1 Masterpiece toys above all else, not at all a fan of Beast Wars toys - go figure. -b.

Black Valkyrie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Bah. If they really wanted him to be a rival for Megadrive Megatron, they'd have made him Super Famicom Prime. I thought of it, once the MD Megatron was first announce. Super Famiconvoy, maybe Nintendo doesn't want to give the license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD Blade Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I think it's the perspective. He seems to be holding Magnus a bit behind him. Notice how small his hand is as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Review of Generations Leader Jetfire. Interesting and cool looking transformation. I would totally buy it if Takara releases a Dark Skyfire version. Does someone know if TakaraTomy will release this in Japan with more paint apps?

VF-Zer0S Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I really liked beast wars but I liked armada better. Really hoping a MP Armada Optimus Prime is made but the MP-10 reissue next year will suffice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like a crazy transformation. However I got the impression form watching the review that the designer forgot half way down what to to and just stopped. I think the designer overused the flexible plastic on this toy. Other than that he seems like a good Transformer toy. Sadly I haven't seen any of the AoE Dinobots on the shelfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) It's part of the G1 continuity, and franchise, and is most definitely not a G2 toy, so it's G1. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_%28franchise%29 Edited July 30, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Not really. It's not part of G1. It is part of the japanese continuity, however.

Gakken85 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Not really. It's not part G1. It is part of the japanese continuity, however. Wrong and wrong. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_%28franchise%29 In Japan, rather than simply be identified as The Transformers throughout its lifespan, the franchise was rebranded with a new title and a shift in storytelling every year. This led to a collection of mini-franchises within the larger Generation 1 franchise, each featuring their own individual components. They are: 1985 - Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 1986 - Transformers 2010 1987 - The Headmasters 1988 - Super-God Masterforce 1989 - Victory 1990 - Zone 1991 - Return of Convoy 1992 - Operation Combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
