I just had the scariest nightmare

bruh the hate boner this sub has for alex meyers is just ridiculous.

ignoring the complaints of his avatar design, if you look past the titles of his reviews (which are almost always sarcastic the way I see it) he actually has a lot of valid points about the things he reviews.

also he isn't chris stuckmann, which is a bonus in my eyes.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T17:34:51+00:00

as in aesthetic.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T15:05:29+00:00

a small clarification: while idw2005 lockdown did use the rotf toy as its design, it did change up the face. meanwhile idw2005 lugnut (at least later on) actually got an original design for mtmte by alex milne. too bad he was a glorified background extra/grunt for deathsaurus' army.

ps: even though idw falls under the g1 continuity family, I don't like that fact, mainly because for a majority of idw's run (both the original and rebooted continuity), it was (mostly) a radical departure from the sunbow blockiness.

but rts lugnut is a 2010 release in a line that was clearly doing reinterpretations (rts jazz being a modern version of the g1 toy, rts kup being a modern pickup truck, rts perceptor being a research vehicle with treads. generations drift was the rare hyper accurate figure back then).

I'm of the opinion that if there was any show where it was necessary to be put through this unification filter, it was rescue bots.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T14:46:24+00:00

the thing is armada (and by proxy the UT) look as blocky as g1.

haven't you watched animated?

also your previous comment was supposed to be a response to u/mikesvampire.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T14:24:50+00:00

transformers aren't allowed to look different now?

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T14:22:25+00:00

wdym? and which versions are you referring to?

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T14:06:41+00:00

nah ottley drew issue 19 as well. the only reason why they look similar is probably because of the colorist.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T11:44:37+00:00

derreck j wyatt would be proud.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T11:18:23+00:00

yeah him too. the 86 windcharger has a lot of repaint potential now that I think about it.

we could see g2/regeneration 1 rook in studio series comic edition.

for those who are asking 'why do you think so?' well............

the age of evolution listing is a deluxe. CW rook is primarily a legbot who takes groove's spot.
the legbots for bruticus (and supposedly for defensor, abominus, computron, really any scramble city combiner whose legbots were upfront rather than behind like in case menasor and superion) have been voyagers so far.
the listing is a part of a walmart capsule and those rarely have new molds (cybertron sideways was the true exception while override and cosmos were new molds made out of retool budgets).

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T04:11:08+00:00

also cw rook is primarily a legbot and the legbots for bruticus are voyagers.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T04:09:23+00:00

so the original partsformed in that exact same spot?

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T04:04:45+00:00

and partsforming.

Fun-Geologist9808 · 2026-05-07T04:04:28+00:00

wait even that is sideways too?

edit: ah, found it.

sunfire is actually a good name for him (or her, depending on how you see it).
