I like Prime Wars. I love the novelty of Headmaster versions of traditionally non-Headmaster characters, and the driver/base play pattern feels like Diaclone. Earlier this year I got a near-complete POTP Volcanicus in a trade with a friend, and got all the missing bits on eBay. I'm totally fine with these being my definitive Dinobots and honestly don't feel any need for the Studio Series ones. And I didn't hate the cartoon. It's not groundbreaking, but I genuinely enjoyed the POTP section, and their take on Megatron was great.
Also, hot take.. Megatron is better as not a gun. He has been not a gun longer and more often than he has been a gun... Loved the GI Joe comics where Cobra remakes him into G2 Megatron.
It's funny. There is NO middle ground on TF Prime. You either love it, or you hate it! As a 47 year old G-1 fanboy, who is older than Transformers itself and grew up running home after school so I didn't miss this weeks episode! 😂 TF Prime and armada are great! And here's a hot take......"Beast Wars is absolutely terrible!! Hot garbage and I could not even finish it.😂 (I will eventually.) Obviously thats jut MY opinion. As far as the franchise goes, if you enjoyed ANYTHING Transformers, then we all win! There is more than enough TF media out there, like the IDW comic's! So good, amazingly brutal, and very well drawn! But I will die on the TF Prime is amazing, hill!! The redesigns are not only cool, but useful to the bots individual role. Like Soundwave, his alt mode is a spy drone!! Thats amazing! Megatron is actually intimidating, Starscream is actually pretty intelligent, but still treacherous, and Knockout is the cherry on the Decepticon pie!!😂😂 I could go on for hours about how the few human characters are actually likeable, and their relationship with the bots they partner with grow over the course of the show. Wheel jack is the GOAT!!!! And the ending is one of the most satisfying send offs you will ever see!! Give it a shot, and judge for yourself. Thats what Transformers is all about! Picking your favorite stories and characters. You like what you like, you cannot lose this game. 😂😂 Be safe out their folks, and try New things.
I like transformers prime for a couple of reasons. I love Miko and Bulkhead. I love knockout. I think the storyline is solid and a bit more interesting than the stuff from G1. And I love the voice cast. They're all really good for their respective characters.
I didn't mind the Cybertron Scourge inspired interpretation of Predaking. It's interesting to redesign a combiner that way. Soundwave is an interesting modernisation of the character.
Yep I enjoy Age of Extinction. It's not amazing or anything but I have a good time whenever I watch it. I also like that kinda the main human villain in that movie actually swaps sides and becomes a good guy. You don't see that happen often. He gets told that what he's doing is gonna cause trouble and he goes, "Yeah maybe this isn't a good idea." I had a huge crush on Blackarachnia as a kid and do kinda want attractive girl transformers. This is a children's toy franchise however and so this maybe is not the right franchise for such things. If you think Nicee is bad you should see FansToys Rouge. Now that is a ridiculous figure. I honestly don't really care what kinda truck Optimus is as long as he's some sort of truck. That said I do think that the truck he becomes in Age of Extinction is worse than the truck he was in the first 3 movies. I'll give maybe another hot take here. I want them to bring back super modes for Optimus. I've been watching Energon/Superlink lately and while I don't think the show is all that great seeing Optimus go into his super mode is always a treat.
Rogue is the one where the toy presents as G1 but the chest molding is busty? I totally agree on super modes. I'm actually surprised we don't see PM Prime more than we do, given it's the genesis of it. Even Energon Prime is a fun toy in its own right.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder Yeah Rouge looks g1 but comes with a breasts addon. Like, human breasts, not metal. Wild stuff. I actually really like Energon Optimus' super mode. Would love an updated figure.
My hot take is... Replace "Age of Extinction" with "Transformers 2007" and you have mine. The first film wasn't trying to be anything particularly thought-provoking, it was intended as a fun action flick that doubled as a way to sell toys, and by god it succeeds. I honestly think the characters in that movie, from our protagonists the brave, yet awkward and panic-stricken Sam Witwicky and deceptively gifted and intelligent Mikaela Banes to the members of Sector Seven are actually mostly enjoyable to watch and don't outstay their welcome, whilst the Transformers themselves are treated as awe-inspiring and mighty. Plus, the sound design, action, and music are actually pretty exciting. It really isn't worthy of the hate, and there are much worse blockbusters from the 2000s out there than this movie out to strike awe and excitement in you whilst selling toys. Trust me, I've seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I know what I'm talking about. Transformers is PEANUTS in comparison to X-Men Origins.
I've seen Origins Wolverine a couple of times, I'm not sure I could compare them. X-Men is bad bad, Transformers is more a teen orientated movie of the time and growing up kinda hurts those. I will say though, the scene where S7 brings down Bumblebee? Still gets me. The emotion in the scene really works.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder Honestly, any attempted blockbuster from Rothman's Reign of Terror at 20th Century Fox/Studios mops the floor with Bayformers in terms of badness. A duology of Alien vs. Predator movies set on modern day Earth, Eragon, Elektra, both X-Men movies made during that time period (The Last Stand and Origins), etc.
Honestly i always had the head canon that rumble and frenzy actively switch colors to mess with people.

For the Megatron killed Prime. Apparently there was a comic where Hotrod never jumped in and Optimus still survives the fight as he kills Megatron.
Here’s a hot take from me: Starscream and Alexis in Armada had the absolute best Transformer and Human dynamic in the entire franchise.
I'd agree with that.

I just need/want Abominus and Computron out of the combiners and Sixshot is the only non combiner I really need/want.

Energon as a whole is overhated. I loved the toys at the time and I liked the play patterns.

I don't follow media companies that close, but yeah. That's a lot of garbo movies lol.
I said tfp is bad and I’d like to say I do like one thing about it the designs
Well, I'd say you like more about Prime than I do lol.
