DIE AUTOBOTS

>>213353239 (OP)
why the decepticons always lose

>>213353256
because they are the bad guys anon

>>213353239 (OP)
And with these words, Megatron allowed the Autobots to die.

Your digit posturing is highly dubious

Was it an upgrade though?

>blocky brutalist gigachad design
>sleek gay rounded design with random danish flag
It's not a hard choice

>>213353963
it looks fine with the right colours

>>213353977
All I can think about is the artillery piece he transforms into, it somehow looks more gay than becoming a pistol (needing to be handled by a man)

>>213353929
if it was all the subsequent reboots and offshoots and whatever else would use galvatron instead of megatron

>>213353288
But they're the chosen bots! How can they??

>>213353640
Brownbots. inferior. Soundwave. superior

>>213353963
>Danish flag
Wtf I never noticed this.

>>213353929
Well did Megatron ever disintegrate Starscream with one shot?

If Hot Rod had been part of the cast from the start, him becoming Prime wouldn't have been so poorly recieved.
As awful as Beast Machines was, Cheetor being Primal's successor was the only thing nobody complained about.

>>213353963
The Danish fell from heaven, given to man by God during the crusades against the evil Laplanders. It became the flag of crusaders globally and the basis for most European flags. It represents a change from family flags to national flags.

>>213355433
Damage is already done at this point. They've never really bothered trying to put Hot Rod at the forefront of any cartoon since.
Maybe in 20 years, some nostalgic zoomers will be making the next show and try and push him again into the main cast based on comics they grew up with

>>213356244
IDW comics made Hot Rod prominent. He even took the name Rodimus, just to sound important.

>>213355433
It was poorly received because everyone wanted Ultra Magnus.

the fuck are you talking about? they escaped earth and conquered cybertron leading up to the first movie.

>>213353929
It was in the movie then they made him schizophrenic in the show to nerf him
(not a joke this actually happens)

>>213355433
So you think if Bumblebee had been in the same situation that lead to Optimus' death, kids would have been fine with him as the new Prime?
Hot Rod was fucked from the beginning and it's baffling that the writers couldn't foresee how kids would reject Rodimus Prime.

>>213358975
You have to understand anon, something like this had never really happened before the 80s. To the execs the shows were disposable advertising and they just saw the characters as toys on a shelf. Nobody before then had ever really treated these toy shows as being real characters and to them killing them off wasn't a very big deal.
More to your point, but had an established Autobot become the new Prime rather than a literal who new guy like Hot Rod then I think response to it wouldn't be as strong, even if circumstances were the same. Because then it's someone the audience already has a relationship with and a defined personality with history on the team. Part of the Rodimus hate is his arc is largely about how he DOESN'T want to be Prime and is struggling to live up to the role against his nature, and with a character we already knew beforehand that'd be more relatable.

I tried rewatching some gen 1 Transformers recently and god its hard. Just nonstop fighting and talking and running around, every episode is pure action.
I get why this stuff was crack for kids but man you never get even a minute with the Autobots just chilling. No cool lingering shots of a sunset or the home base. This plus that insane Spiderman cartoon were basically ADHD Gen Z media before Gen Z even existed.
Anyway Soundwave's still my nigga

>>213353929
schizotron obliterates planets so yeah

>Do not grieve… Soon I will be one with the matrix…..
>also buy the new toys…

>>213353256
they literally won at the start of the movie and Optimus fucking died for real

>>213353239 (OP)
The first 30 minutes or so are such kino I still remember as a kid Optimus dying but as an adult I loved him going all Gundam 1979 on their ass

>>213355358
Starscream had it coming for a long time

>>213360443
I had Kupp only because he was quality. Diecast metal and bigger than most of the others. galvatron looked like a little turd, so did scourge and I couldn't find cyclonus. I also had "Junkion" but it wasn't Wreck-Gar. Oh well.

>>213357412
But can he deal with that now?

>>213353239 (OP)
>DIE AUTOBOTS
80's kids got this masterpiece
Zoomers get cartoons explaining pronouns and grooming

80's kids won, hands down.

Pathetic fools! There's no escape!

>>213357412
I liked Hot Rod.

The toys were kinda gay, GI Joe was better, Transformers looked like ass.
The TF cartoon was fucking lame UNTIL the movie, then the following season was good.
The movie did a good job setting up Hot Rod
Everyone crying about it were just faggots.

I hate how many people say this stupid shit whenever TF is being discussed. You guys never say it about Star Wars for example, a franchise where designers were sent back to the drawing board all because the execs thought the designs wouldn't sell well as toys.

>>213361033
Anti Gen X bullshit, oh your generation watched toy commercials. Just because clueless boomer execs don’t know kids worship Optimus Prime doesn’t make it FACT that to US it was just a toy commercial, to us these characters were our friends and Prime was a father figure. They were not written like toy commercial quality.

>I'm a sentient being but I need someone to pilot me

And naturally every opinion you posted after this was dog shit.
>>213361053
Watch the SW episode of The Toys that Made Us and really any SW biography ever.

TF is not the only franchise built around toys but ever since millenials wrote a bunch of blog posts about it some years back it's been stuck in the internet consciousness that they need to regurgitate this information.

>>213361169
Don't worry about it. Also don't think about the dudes that transformed into their guns.

Even as a 6 year old I thought the intro was cool as hell but the actual show was just a bunch of nonsense.
Cities of Gold mog Transformers.

Cite proof that EXECS changed designs on Star Wars, you colossal retard. It was ALL George you dumb fuck. Way to show you don't know jack shit.

>>213361247
Of course you'er a lucas dickriding faggot.
Everyone has the dad knows that the reason the OG trilogy was a success is because Georgieboy had people around him to reign him in. But of course you're going to ignore that to fanboy like the massive manchild faggot that you are.

>>213361153
Where was Slag?

>>213361283
Insulting me because you're a fucking retard isn't an answer. George had final say over the designs in Star Wars. Show me proof of where EXECS made him change designs. You can't, because you're fucking wrong, you autistic piece of shit.

Rodimus is interesting because we get to see his growth from cocky showoff (with a heart of gold) to a real leader, including all his highs and lows. Meanwhile, Optimus (usually) starts and ends his runs at the same place in terms of character progression, which is really fucking boring.

>>213361033
>You guys never say it about Star Wars for example, a franchise where designers were sent back to the drawing board all because the execs thought the designs wouldn't sell well as toys.

Dear COLOSSAL retard. George Lucas FAMOUSLY retained merchandising rights since the very first Star Wars. Why the FUCK would you pull it out of your faggot ass that EXECS made him change designs when they were NEVER going to get a piece of the merchandising profits?

Holy. Fucking. Balls. You literally don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you stupid fucking shit.

>>213360717
Yeah, we know. This, GI Joe, He-Man and The Masters of The Universe, and Thundercats were at the top of the mountain. Beyond that there were loads of other awesome kids shows.

>>213361238
>Hmm this kinda looks like anime. Is this Japanese?

Anyway never seen an episode of this show but I HAVE jerked it to the native girl at least once, so thats something

OG mega transforms into a gat. You can let your best friend use you to blow the shit outta whatever. Noobatron is just some random fischer-price cannon you forget about in your garage.

Galvatron still turned into a handgun, that mode just wasn't used in the cartoon.
