TheLastRoboKy posted:What we don't really talk about in the episode is that man, those Proudstar logs are a little dire aren't they? If I were to say I'm sure I remember a story where Optimus Prime dies, I'm going to guess that (since it went mostly unnoticed) I could be mentioning any number of stories and that kind of thing happens a lot. Would it help if I said I think Unicron was involved somehow? Or would that still be any number of stories, or is that two separate stories my brain has packed together into a single unused blob of vague memories. I mean, there's no way I read many Transformers stories at all, and there's also no way I made up the name Unicron when it's such a dumb name I had to first make sure it was a real one, but those still might be separate stories.

No your'e not making it up. The darkest hour part clearly points to the Transformers movie where indeed, Optimus dies. And someone else beat me to the punch on that.

I read a Transformers story where it's stated early that Optimus is going to die, but the twist is that he doesn't really die, he just gives up his position as Prime and goes to explore the universe or something like that because the Autobots won and he realized he just wasn't fit to rule in peace-time.

That's "The Death of Optimus Prime." It's sort of the starting point for all of the current IDW TF stuff.

I got digital copies of some of the classic Transformers comics from the 80's I got in a bundle, and it's really hard to start reading. They just introduce the characters in such a bad way. Everyone's just woke up 40 million years after the spaceship crashed on Earth, and they do a rollcall to see who's alive. But they introduce themselves in a very unnatural way, like 'It's me, Ironhide, my hide of iron can take anything those Decepticons have up their sleeves!' etc' etc' for all them.

Zanzibar Ham posted:'It's me, Ironhide, my hide of iron can take anything those Decepticons have up their sleeves!' "...£12.99 in all good toystores." That's basically toy marketing in story form. The Transformers fan wiki is surprisingly sane and self-aware on this point, and does some good documentation of it (with sample images) here.

I never had a toy of Ironhide (or all that many Transformers toys back then, really). But I did always think his van turret was a cool idea because it let other transformers with lame guns use a big gun  I mean sure, Megatron turns into a handgun. But then he gets extra tiny so where's the fun in that for the Decepticons?

I think the only G1 toy I ever owned was Inferno (or whatever the fire truck Autobot was called). I've since lost the toy, but I do remember the small squirt cannon he came with that could be filled up with water. That said, I look forward to Grimlock's drill punch misadventures in New York City.

It's black and white instead of black and purple like kid me had, but it's still cool because it's Astrotrain.

I had a few G1 toys, Hound, Grimlock, even saved up my money to get the Devastator set. My friend had the original Megatron, the one that turned into a gun. I vaguely remember having that Go-Bots combiner, though I cannot remember it's name. My parents gave me a Sideswipe for my birthday, but it fell apart my first time transforming it

I had Powermaster Optimus Prime.  He's still standing on top of my fridge, next to Triggerhappy, whose Targetmaster gun I realized I've been mistransforming only three weeks ago.

We had a lot of G1 toys. Grandma and Granddad used to get us one every time we visited, though we were disappointed that they were always Autobots so they couldn't fight anything. Sitcom-style jump to a timid British grandmother in ToysRus asking what in the world a Decepticon is.

Cross-posting from JadeStar's XCOM 2 thread, but wouldn't it be awesome if the Spokesman were actually OPTIMUS PRIME? Like, the ADVENT Speaker looks up, sees a semi truck racing towards the podium, frowns, mutters, "Prime..." into the microphone, then gets POWER AXE'D BY OPTIMUS PRIME YEAH BOYYYY

Platinum could throw darts at the entire Steam library, and I'd buy whatever game they made out of it. But I think that the councilman Secretly being Optimus Prime is weak. Obviously, his incredibly wounded body would be MEC'd and then turned into XCOM PRIME. Also, I've been watching your guys' DOW2 stuff, and I have to say, Coolguys' cackling glee over the violent, explosive death of Eldar is like the sweetest lullaby.

The gun you didn't recognise was actually one used by the Decepticon cassettes: Rumble, Frenzy, and Enemy (One of the most obscure cons) Which would explain why it looks so tiny, because it's meant to be used by bots smaller than Bumblebee.
