Phone booth from Bill and Ted needs to be a transformer. :lolol

It is sad and unfortunate that the writer of Beast Wars passed away...

I didn't even realize that he died until today. Rest In Peace, Mr. DiTillio, and thank you so much for bringing the very show that first got me into the Transformers franchise in the first place to life. :(

I end up watching Bumblebee and I thought it was okay. It was better than the Michael Bay Transformers movie, but that is not a hard feat to do. I did like the main character for the most part and the movie had the same vibe that 80s movies like Batteries Not Included did.

However, I feel like the story and characters are nothing that special to be honest. Charlie's next-door neighbor is your typical cliche love interest and John Cena's character is the typical generic military bad guy that I've seen so many times. The whole movie very predictable and doesn't bring anything new (Iron Giant, Terminator 2, etc. did a similar plot done better in my opinion).

The movie also has some cringy moments (Like the scenes with the bullies) and some really dumb characters (Like the scientist). I give the movie credit for feeling more faithful to the series than the Michael Bay movies did. I give the movie a 6/10.

OMG! Someone else remembers this movie!!!

I think for me the only reason I give this movie somewhere in between a 8 or 9 out of 10 is because of the opening scene. I could care less if the plot was a mishmash of Gremlins and Beethoven after that, because that opening scene was totally worth it. :rock:

I had a lot of fun with Bumblebee. It took a lot of the elements from the Bayformers movies and somehow made it work. Now if only they can decide if Bumblebee is a reboot or a prequel or not that would be great if the movies going forward can follow the same tone.

I will be up for more movies not from Bay if they can give us a better script. I do agree the opening for Bumblebee was epic. I was like "I can recognize the Transformers for once".

I always have a soft spot for that movie since I grew up with it. Not a bad movie.

You know what would be funny? If they suddenly fast-forward to the 90s for the next movie within that world and they give us the transformers in G2 colors. :lolol

I think Bumblebee is a reboot given how the movie would cause major holes in the live action Bay universe if it did.

The name of the game is plot holes when it comes to Bay's shitty movies.

Is there an official Diaclone site anywhere?

I know Diaclone isn't technically Transformers, but given their inter-connectivity, I felt just confidant enough in asking here.

Found this at a Gamestop near me.

The next Masterpiece is another Beast Wars figure - but this time from the Japanese continuity, it's Lio Convoy!

I'm not a fan of them going with a more anime looking lion face, but that is accurate, so I won't complain. I'm pretty surprised to see this, but I'm down for it.

Same. More Japanese continuity figures make me very happy though. It's something different and fun.

...

Could be possible a alliance between Autobots and Decepticons in some movie or tv show ?

The beast mode is... a little unfortunate, to be honest. But unlike Blackarachnia I'm willing to forgive it because oh my GOD that robot mode is ridiculously good!

Like it's just... it's just so crisp. It's one of the most phenomenal robot modes (in terms of toys; not designs) I've ever seen.

It is, it's been confirmed by both hasbro and paramount.

True, it looks a bit wonky. Posing the legs might help, but the lion face is just "animated" looking, there's no way around that :lol

I think we might just have to accept that Masterpiece Beast Modes just won't look that good :(

Depends on the Transformer really, Megatron's beast mode is insanely good looking IMO. Really clean and spot-on to the animation model.

But that's because his transformation is so easy, all they really had to come up with is how to fold the kibble on his robot back. And they did a great job with that IMO. Aside from Megatron though, yeah they don’t look that good. Still very screen-accurate but you have to hide the robot bits somewhere, and it’s still mighty impressive what they’ve achieved so far.

It’ll get better once we reach the Transmetals though – at that point I’m certain they can make figures which are 99% accurate in both modes.

Where's my Powerhug?

Probably with my Mantis, Bigmos, Tonbot, Drill Nuts, and Scizzor Boy.

I started watching legend of the micron aka Japanese armada. so the name I learn for each character is weird.

so japanese name so far for autobots are

Optimus prim - convoy

Red Alert- Ratchet

Hot Shot - Hot Rod

and for Decepticons

Megatron - Megatron

Star Scream is Still Star Scream

Demolishor - Iron hide

Cyclonus - Sandstorm

now this might the oly season of transformers where iron hide is a decepticon

I'd like to see a seahorse maximal.

And I want Snapdragon to get a new figure.
Apparently such things are pipedreams.

With this amazing looking Apeface being a thing now I doubt that we won't be getting the second Horrorcon in the future :)

http://www.tokunation.com/attachment...1&d=1561615690

We damn well better. There are only 2 freaking Horrorcons, so it's not exactly like I'm asking for a huge team or anything ><

And I'm also totally not salty that they picked Apeface first...

I am totally digging the way Apeface looks. I'm not exactly a huge fan of the ape mode, but I'm in love with the jet mode.

Would you look at that you got your cutie mark in saltiness.

I'm sure it will happen. They came through with Apeface, Snapdragon must be in the planning stage at least by now.

Personally, I prefer Apeface, but I definitely want them both :)

I'd like to see a new kind of tf show where transformers are hybrid between Autobots with Maximals and Decepticons with Predacons.

They kinda already did with he original Robots in Disguise series with Megatron having both Decpticons and Predacons working for him.

I mean, something in the lines of Transtech.

Train boners as far as the eyes can see!

Holy shit is that a big boy, I wished they compared it to the Armada mold so I know how much bigger it is.

The Armada Unicron mold is 16'', meaning this one is more than 10'' taller! Here's a comparison of Armada Unicron with Generations Metroplex; who is the same mold - and hence basically the same height - as Titans Return Fortress Maximus, who is compared to WfC Unicron on the page.

I am looking at the two Unicrons on my shelves and damn the new Unicron is a big boy, Doubt the toy would fit on my normal shelves even if I could afford it.
