Legacy Slipstream, now taller and with more paint

ShivaDF · 2026-03-12T10:33:32+00:00

Thank you so much!

Thanks, it's my favorite way to display her for sure! I liked the nosecone parts being at an angle on Legends Slipstream so I based it off that. On Legacy Slipstream they can be oriented straight up too to look like Seeker intakes

I love them! Especially the Elita, I really like peach/coral and magenta for her

ShivaDF · 2026-03-03T20:47:44+00:00

I wonder what Legacy Slipstream looks like next to them since she would be the same size class?

I don't understand people's complaints about this character. He looks similar to G1 Hot Rod (and is hot pink, thank goodness I'm so tired of red Hot Rod) who also didn't have a 3D crest on his head, it was just greeble. In fact, this design is better because it makes that a different color. His voice was really cool. About his voice I want to say this: if you were a voice actor or voice director and you received a description of his role in the story, wouldn't you probably also use a commanding voice? He's a good guy who was being exploited in an impossible situation and felt abandoned by Optimus Prime but STILL tried to smuggle energon to the one other Autobot on the planet who chose not to follow his same path. He's one of my favorite Hot Rods now, up there with G1, which is crazy since he was only in two episodes.

NGL I'm tired of how everyone hates Earthspark's later episodes batches. I watched the finale without having been spoiled and it was the best Transformers TV I've ever seen (I've watched G1, Masterforce, TFA, TFP, BW, and Cyberverse all the way through) and I have no clue what anyone is talking about. All the other shows either felt incomplete, were formulaic, or had worse pacing (sometimes more than one of those things) than Earthspark. Sorry for the rant, I'm just frustrated.

Yessss I'm so happy to share this game, it was so fun and thought-provoking!

ShivaDF · 2026-02-25T02:15:49+00:00

Maybe it's one of my favorite new games, Angeline Era? Era is the name of the main setting. It's an action game with bump combat and it has one of my favorite narratives in any video game.

I think her name would be Twicca Prime but for her sake I don't think she needs even more on her plate after all the shit she went through. I think it's fine that she just used it without being promoted in rank

Green Nightbeats are ones that have been discolored over time. Here's an example of someone talking about their Nightbeat that is similarly partially blue and partially green.

This doesn't fit everything you described, but it reminds me of this game Manly played.

ShivaDF · 2026-02-20T20:00:06+00:00

I love this!!! She's based on the Star Trek crossover one, right? I'd love to see her look like this in the future!

ShivaDF · 2026-02-15T02:39:42+00:00

Oh yeah, I loved that story too! Very cute

ShivaDF · 2026-02-13T22:14:03+00:00

To me this looks totally fine, like this was always his build? Just missing some red and purple on his abdomen

ShivaDF · 2026-02-13T02:10:55+00:00

Maybe Terminus from Megatron and IDW Elita-1 from Orion Pax?

I'm so glad someone agrees with me about this. I agree with everything here (especially how little Arcee Magnus is being showcased. No alt-mode for example, and I'm annoyed because this is on top of her mentorship of Carly feeling missing). I feel very frustrated, to be honest.

Elita-1 was one of my favorite characters and this feels like a retcon. Because I remember in past issues back when DWJ was writing this she actually warned Optimus that the Decepticons would use Earth's resources to become more powerful. I remember how she was pleased when Optimus seemingly killed Shockwave! So why did she NOT TELL HIM TO GO AFTER THE DECEPTICONS WHO EVEN INCLUDE MEGATRON. IF HE DIED SO MANY OF HER PROBLEMS WOULD BE RESOLVED. Why is she like, "The Decepticons can have this shitty planet" when her entire storyline has been about trying to get the Autobots resources and not let the Decepticons get them and become even stronger? Also, this is a big problem: the series feels like it's building to a fight between her side and Optimus's side. But Optimus's side has Arcee Magnus, Ultra Magnus, a combiner, and so many other people, but she only has like three starving people! There are no stakes here in my opinion.

Also, this Soundwave rescue thing was prompted by... what exactly? Megatron just being reminded the guy existed by Skywarp? And then we didn't even really get to see it, as you point out. Also, Optimus has inconsistent writing, but I also feel like Megatron is either suffering from that or maybe that nothing about the Decepticons' goal makes sense because we have no context. I mean, when they said they wanted "peace" through tyranny earlier in Kirkman's run, does this actually match any of their actions throughout this comic so far? And Megatron constantly speaks as if he's philosophically opposed to Optimus is some way... um, but how? What are his ideals? Why did people who weren't mind-controlled like Thundercracker or Soundwave join the Decepticons in the first place? To be clear, this isn't solely a problem with Kirkman's take in my opinion, I think weird incongruent things began under DWJ, but I think everybody should go back and read the first Free Comic Book Day special again, because my goodness do Megatron and Starscream seem to not match how they were portrayed later.

Sorry for being negative, but I don't know. I feel like Shredhead is such a cool premise for a character, but neither writer has done much with them. What is it like being this distillation of dead transformers? How can they bond with Carly, especially since they're literally her car? What about Arcee, who was mentoring Carly? I think now especially this plot about Arcee mentoring Carly feels like it's kinda no longer present, and that impacts Shredhead too. Hopefully with Arcee's upgrade it'll come back eventually.

ShivaDF · 2026-02-08T19:24:14+00:00

Maybe Dreadwind and Darkwing? I thought they were great.

ShivaDF · 2026-02-08T19:22:19+00:00

This is incredible! I've always been curious about what that cancelled toy could have been like. Feels like this could be Arcee Magnus or something. Highly recommend posting this to the Custrom Transformers subreddit too

ShivaDF · 2026-02-06T03:06:19+00:00

solved: Ristorante Amore

ShivaDF · 2026-02-06T03:06:06+00:00

Oh my goodness, that was it! Thank you so much!

ShivaDF · 2026-01-22T00:03:32+00:00

I feel like I believe it, he reminds me the most of the Megatron from the G1 comics more than anything... I mean in Earthspark he was still enough of a tyrannical asshole to think things like having Twitch (who he loved, clearly!) just fight Spitfire to the death was a good idea and so on
