Amph The Transformers. More than meets the eye!

I don’t know, I haven’t been impressed with any of these transformers films, I saw the first one and attempted to watch one or two of the others

this looks like more of the same

there is a new animated show out though, I think it’s on that paramount plus, which I don’t have but the first couple episodes are on YouTube and they were pretty fun, I think for me this whole franchise just works better as a animation show

 

This trailer looks great, they're bringing Maximals and Predacons into the game.

 

Wasn’t Bumblebee supposed to be a reboot of the franchise?

 

I think this is technically a sequel to Bumblebee not The Last Knight. It just jumps timeline from the 80s Bumblebee to modern times. One could fit the Bay movies in between if ignoring the designs which look like Bumblebee movie but hey they're transforming robots

 

The synopsis says it takes place in 1994 not modern day.

 

What on the Earth is the point of modern civilization Beast Wars? Isn’t this series about robots in disguise? Is there for real anybody out there that would not be suspicious about a giant, living Tyrannosaurus Rex stomping around? Or even a cheetah and a gorilla trotting through downtown Los Angeles together, for that matter? What is happening.

 

In G1 lore, there were bots who looked like alike.









Primus, the Transformer god is depicted as looking like Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime.



As did Guardian Prime.







Optimus Primal, Lio Convoy, Big Convoy and the Council of Convoys all take after Optimus Prime. In "Prime Wars: Power Of The Primes", Optimus Primal existed during Optimus Prime's existence.

The Predacons aren't in this. The Terrorcons (Scourge, Nightbird and Battletrap) are the main threat. Also the trailer

Spoiler

indicates that the Maximals are from the future and appeared to have time traveled to help the Autobots. Leaked footage shows Optimus Prime running from Scourge finding them in a cave in stasis lock. My guess is they have been around a long time.

 

Wow, a Transformers trailer where I can tell who each character is because they look distinctive.

What an age we live in

 

One of these days I need to watch The Last Knight. Everything I've read about it sounds like it was written by somebody who was high on LSD.

From Wikipedia: In 484 AD, Merlin finds the Knights of Iacon, a group of Transformers hiding on Earth, seeking their help to aid King Arthur and his knights. They hand him a staff and help Arthur defeat the Saxons, but warn Merlin to hide the staff.

This is nuts! Terrible but...maybe so bad it's good?

 

In "Beast Machines", Megatron did try to scan a new body and couldn't. That could be the case here.

 

Upcoming "Legacy: Evolution" figures.

Core Class Slug, who may be retooled into Kakuryu. He will form Volcanus.



Core Class Sludge, who could become Rairyu.



Stunticon Breakdown.



Armada Hot Shot.


Needlenose with Sunbeam and Zigzag.

Studio Series 86 Ironhide.

 

Wow! @darth-sinister

Transformer figures have come a long way. The articulation in robot mode really makes these action figures.

That’s a hell of a lost for Santa. I hope you get them all and more.

 

Maybe even more so that Star Wars toys collecting them all with Transformers seems nearly impossible.

Has transformer toys been continuously in production since they first arrived on store shelves in the mid 80s?

 

I never understood why they didn't make the Ironhide toy look like this back in the day. His OG robot form was just bizarre.

 

So that’s why Optimius came with the dune buggy and what the interior of the trailer was scaled for. That was a base.

 

That also explains why a mini-tape player is bigger than an airplane.

It all different lines od toys at different scales

 

I'm just showing them for those who are curious and might want to invest. I couldn't afford that without lottery money.

Two different lines; https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Diaclone and https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Micro_Change

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Diakron was Takara's attempt to sell the toys in the U.S. market in 1983.

Scale was not important for mixing the lines together. During "Beast Wars", size class for a fixed price point was introduced.

 

I didn't realize that they were making toys of Tarn

 

Yep. For quite a while, Hasbro and Takara have been slowly diving into the comics.

It started with Drift from IDW.



And Straxus from Marvel, in 2010.



Then Rung from IDW, in 2019.



Impactor from Marvel in 2013, as a repaint and retool of FOC Onslaught. Then again using Rook in 2016. Finally obtaining an original mold in 2019.



Scrounge from Marvel in 2016.
