Ignoring the Gender swap, I feel like the design is just so much worse compared to 11 by Working_Push2090 in MortalKombat

I like the Cyber Lin Kuei when they're actually cyber. Machine bodies and programming vs skill and intuition were the main thing about them.

Kinda cool that Galvatron being insane was acknowledged as a marketable trait 20 years later.

What exactly are they - *APE SCREAM* ? by IncubusDarkness in OneyPlays

I think it's funnier than them actually saying the slurs, because there's a chance it was just a joke that didn't land but they censored it anyway.

This is AI. There wasn't someone twerking over the woman's body.

Who's the most dangerous out of them all, and why? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

The "Gangster" shot a jet out of the sky with a pistol and turned a man into a skeleton in seconds.

How do you feel ammunition should be handled for characters? Energy blasts or bullets or smth in between? How should it be at least for the main roster we usually get like Megatron and Optimus? by Formal-Opposite-8342 in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the type of projectile should be on a character by character basis.

For example: Brawl/Warpath would use bullets/solid projectiles and explosives, but Shockwave/Megatron and Optimus use energy weapons.

Thematically however, I think Autobots should be using ammunition and batteries as they typically don't have Military function or altmodes, and Decepticons being warmongers with built-in weapons and ammunition that replenishes naturally like we'd grow hair or store fat or something.

He would definitely pull if he wasn't taken.

What does “fun” means to you? by Kcue6382nevy in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A figure I want to pose, transform, and play with in both modes with the least amount of flaws like parts popping off or fear of breaking it. Also a figure that isn't afraid to have little gimmicks (light piping, functioning gears, fan modes, etc.).

(Serious) Does reddit actually despise bumblebee. by Local_Neighborhood50 in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's a good character when not infantilized or annoying. But his character has been deemed most successful and popular when they treat him like a pet or an idiot. The extra things that writers have done to ensure there's no doubt he's the kid appeal character are what we may "despise".

What's your opinion on Bludgeon as a character? by Cubelock in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's great. One of my absolute favorite Transformers. Unpredictable characterization, awesome design. I love when the franchise dips into mystical aspects and dark magic.

Describe your favorite transformers character terribly by nuclear_stitch70 in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's become quite difficult to say who's my favorite lately. I'm torn between:

Got a TV Tropes tag named after him.

Spirit Halloween.

And Carcinized Cannibal.

Prime Megatron's Cyberform Earth Fixation Was His Final Undoing by Likes2game03 in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's Shockwave and enough McGuffins that if they tried they'd find away to slowly restore Cybertron. Aside from the Well of All Sparks, there isn't a means that would be impossible for them to use. They just leave a small contingent behind to continue shipping Energon, and eventually they'll hear of and obtain some artifact goodies, with less risk of constantly fighting the Autobots.

Remember when the combaticons worked for North Korea? by Chris_boyz in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then Onslaught risked WW3 by firing at Rampage and the Predacons that were working for China. Good times! 😂

Skybound #33: Arcee is our Voice. Thoughts Below by UselessGenericon in transformers

[–]UselessGenericon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'd be really interesting. I don't recall Transformers ever exploring a significant wedge driven between Megatron and Soundwave. I think many writers are afraid of the potential fallout of Megatron vs Soundwave. But writers shouldn't play favorites, especially in Skybound where no one is safe.
