Look, TM Terrorsaur and TFP Soundwave have their similarities, but I'm pretty confident it was MEANT to be PRID soundwave.Why cookie Rocket posted:Last thing I forgot to mention is that it's would just be so odd for Milne to base a design off a TFP toy. That's one of the things that makes me think he was homaging an older figure. ... why would it be odd?

I suspect I have said this a lot before because I repeat myself like a motherfucker I suspect I have said this a lot before because I repeat myself like a motherfucker but I really love TFP Soundwave. I wish he had gotten a bigger toy, with just a bit more articulated legs. Maybe in the far future of 2030 when Generations gets around to homage TFP they'll make a TFP Soundwave homage? I mean if the toyline isn't ruined forever by then.

Holy loving poo poo angry birds transformers is a piece of poo poo. I generally avoid cell phone games BC I'm not a drooling tard, but you guys recommended it and tricked me. Like when I first started it I was like "yeah okay, this is okay." Kinda a rail shooter, the collapsing tower to kill enemies in Chain reactions, that's cool. The scene bump references to the cartoon were a good joke ...but then you play it for another level and realize what's going on. The game actively prevents you from playing it by making you wait IRL time to play levels. What the gently caress is that? Isn't the entire point of cell phone games that they're "convenient? " I had to play a PSP game during the 15 minute wait between 30 second levels (also you can't replay them? ) Almost first thing there's a big old "jenga mode" option... Which costs 9.99  I also tried upgrading a character and realized that ALSO takes irl time. Cooldowns make sense in real time games where, you know, time matters. All this is there for is to make you pay money. But when I got a loving commercial I was finished. Also it runs like absolute dogshit.As a Transformers game its totally half assed. Tropical island backgrounds? Nice, suits the material very well. Autobots and deceptions working together happens all the time, but generally there's at least some kind of vauge reasoning. Everything about this game screams "here is a thing you remember, get it?" Transforming has literally no function other than one repeated setpiece. And not only is it a stupid cargo cult transformers reference sack, its also spliced with angry loving birds. In conclusion, I hope all of rovio contracts AIDS and dies in the street.

Is Angry Birds TF your first cell phone game? They're pretty much all like that, especially the free ones.SpikeMcclane posted:I dunno... you might be the type of jerk that likes to taunt. Entirely possible, and even likely, but not about toy scalping.

I don't get timer mechanics either, but that and iap are what people like all these days. gently caress that. People justify them with saying they don't play them in lots of small bursts, but really timer mechanics are to force that to spread out a weak game into an addiction and I refuse to play them.

If we do the Secret Santa thing this year and if I get Forever Smug, I think I'm just gonna send him a lump or coal. Or a dollar store knockoff that I've broken beforehand. Or a jar filled with farts. You know you would all do the same.

I had a rock lord as a kid, if nothing else they had way better articulation than transformers. Guess that's easier when you turn into a formless mass though

messing with some of the legends guys more: Man Reflector is just kind of a PoS. His camera mode looks great from the side with the handle on it, but then since you have to have the other robots hold it upside dow, it just looks like they're holding reflector instead of a camera, or just a really gappy gun. Why didn't they just make reflector's head his handle?

A Rock Lord defense force now? C'mon, they turn into rocks. There is no scenario in which that is useful or cool. It's the Tom Hanks "Who wants to play with a building?" scene taken to a level even more boring than buildings. At least the TFs who turn into buildings can do a few things. Rock Lord alt modes can literally do nothing but lay there. It is by far the dumbest permutation of transforming toys ever made. The most amazing thing about them is that Masters of the Universe actually did the same drat thing. I'd love to see transcripts of the original pitch meetings.

I dunno man, if I opened up a surprise box and saw those in there, I'd be like "haha, cool!" Someone should send Forever Smug some Angry Birds Transformers because we know he really, REALLY hates them and wishes everyone at Rovio would get AIDs.

^^ Someone. Someone in this very thread bought it off me after that. (and I'm too lazy to go through my records to look it up) But yeah, noone would buy Airachnid for a dollar.
