They should just make Soundwave a Switch, let the joycons become his minions

This is unironically a great idea

Bee looks more like a mini Bulkhead, that body shape doesn't read as Bumblebee in any way, shape or form

Bumblebee's been a Camaro, I think that ship has sailed

doing the soundwave chest window as a car bonnet ends up looking silly in vehicle mode

I agree, but it does suggests the cassettes are engines, which is sort of neat

I like Devastator as HULK SMASH because I like the idea that he was the prototype for the combining process, and it is a nice contrast to the (mostly) intelligent Constructions. Also the create/destroy duality.

it's not that BM is in continuity with G1, it's that it's supposed to be in continuity with BW, and then takes a massive poo poo on it.

And Blackarachnia's self serving nature was her defining trait in season 1. That wasn't a sign of the Maximal within. It was a sign of her being a smarter Starscream.

Starscream wanted to rule. Blackarachnia just wants to do her own thing.

You can get pretty tiny Bluetooth speakers now, they should make a Blaster + Soundwave with one built in.

oh, he turns into a metal slug! isn't that cute.

an actual Transformers X Metal Slug would be amazing, especially if the robot modes had the same exaggerated almost-chibi proportions as Metal Slug characters.

MMC "Spartan" Impactor basically turned into a Metal Slug tank. Frankly, the WFC Impactor does too.

I probably won't buy it, but that's awesome. I do wish the robot mode was more like the Metal Slug characters though. Give that bot a robot headband and a revolver!

Okay, here's my review of Cybertron Wheeljack with pictures, although I couldn't figure out how to crop everything.

Seeing your review, I couldn't stop thinking how much I would have enjoyed that figure as a kid, just because you could put matchbox cars in the back. He wouldn't have been a favourite (I was way too into jets) but you bet he would have seen a lot of playtime.

I'd be super okay if we never got concepts like functionism and empurata again.

Why? They're interesting sci-fi ideas about a robot society

If you want an alien insect arachnid matriarchy that slowly undergoes its own fight for equality, read Children of Time.

In fact, just read Children of Time anyway.

I liked it, a lighter tone from the self serious mythologising that I feel like a lot of Transformers stuff falls into. Aimed younger, sure, but that's what Transformers should be, and it never felt stupid in a way that the Bay films did.

What if they do and that life is nothing but disconnected moments of terror and violence?

I prefer this idea because combiners being a true gestalt consciousness independent of the individual members is super interesting. Combined forms should have a personality that is weirdly revealing about the team as a whole.

the terrible secret of the Constructicons is that Devastator is just Bonecrusher in a big body, and they can't work out how to fix it.
