    Understandable, given the protoculture's hand in seeding all those planets. We haven't seen a civilization that isn't built on the protoculture as a foundation, really. The vajra and space whales aren't descended from the Po, and they're too alien to have a human-recognizable civilization.

    Clearly the most important accessory. MP quality right there.

    I think you're right. Micromaster shuttle base or something. But hey, Omega turns into a rocket base, so it isn't a completely random packin.

    I like how Mixmaster looks as a leg, the cab-as-foot is a nice design feature. But yeah, Scrapper's always looked like they just... forgot to put a foot on down there. And getting Scavenger off the arm is a great change, his bucket arm won't just dangle awkwardly off the shoulder now... it'll dangle awkwardly off the shin instead! (Nah, it'll probably secure flat.)

    I actually find it interesting that they're shaking up which bot forms which limb, and admit to being very curious what led to that decision. I've made my affection for new takes on old characters known in the past, this is just a surprising change to legally-not-Devastator's basic layout.

    Man, I expected more of a redesign for Dinoking, not just "dinobots in the wrong colors". I no longer hope for a Monstructor version.

    Man, every time someone puts out a new "Nintendo 64 controller, but better-designed" I am just reminded that what Nintendo 64 fans want is actually just the Saturn 3D Controller. This 8bitdo one is the most obvious yet. Just accept it, guys. Embrace perfection, and quit pretending you actually want what Nintendidn't.

    It's only been in development for twenty years. That's basically an eyeblink.
  9. JB0
    Yeah...

    Which still leaves you without the media. Buy disks, watch forever.

    I'd say it validates the purpose of a streaming service. You don't own it, they can change or remove it at any time, and you have no recourse.

    Look on the bright side. If you get a fifth to make Metalhead, it will be cheaper!

    Macross went out to get cigarettes when I was little and never came home. Probably because there's no smoking on the bridge.

    I wish they'd quit remaking the remake. There were some huge narrative changes in Silver Star Story that make it significantly less interesting than The Silver Star was. I miss my badass triple-crossing Nash.

    I hope they use a Primal head instead of a Prime head, because this screams Beast Wars.

    You know, I often use the term "legally distinct converting robots" instead of (the dishonest and misleading IMO) "third-party Transformers", but damn. Fugu does NOT give even a single crap about being "legally distinct".

    He's got some Guyver vibes to me. ... And that whole series is ALSO "things the Protoculture might have cooked up and then irresponsibly discarded somewhere". It's kinda sad, though. I think Quintesson has a more credible jet than... pretty much any Transformer that is supposed to turn into a jet in the last decade.

    While smoking an officially-licensed Captain Global pipe.

    Yeah... it's sad, but in honesty, Anandtech's been dead for years. This is just the period at the end of the sentence. Their owners also own Tom's Hardware, and didn't see a point in paying to staff two tech news sites.
  20. JB0
    Yeah, I think the Logan's an adorable little piece of fictional machinery too.

    I'd arrange a Decepticon/Waruder alliance. With both sides intending to betray their allies and seize Earth's freezon and energon for themselves once the Autobot and Diaclone forces are defeated, naturally.
  22. JB0
    The modern Diaclone line has several transforming robots in it.
  23. JB0
    If it is a new mold, I want it to be a Fire Valkyrie/Blaster mashup.
  24. JB0
    This just feels weird like "Diaclone Universe Twin Twist", which made no sense and I don't think ever got anything written to try and justify it.
  25. JB0
    I don't understand this crossover. "It's Zoids Liger mixed with Battle Convoy mixed with Battle Convoy again... hold on..." Like... is this a piloted Optimus Prime? Is the Zoids pilot there as a sort of Powermaster support? Zoids are already intelligent machine life, so doesn't this make Prime a combiner? And how do you even DO Diaclone x Transformers in a meaningful sense, particularly with a character that originated as an unaltered Diaclone toy in the first place and has never strayed very far from that origin?!
