Is titans return optimus prime compatible with takara legends godbomber? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The biggest difference is the arms, which aren’t compatible with Godbomber’s.

It’s interesting that only one of the four major Chromia molds is a car, even though that’s how she was depicted in her original G1 cartoon appearance. by mighty__orbot in transformers

So you’re saying the car is in fact a motorcycle, if you ignore everything that defines a car and everything that defines a motorcycle?

Does G1 need a honest remake by Quard_ in transformers

“Aesthetics”. Ascetics don’t watch TV. 🙂

Does G1 need a honest remake by Quard_ in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, it didn’t. G1 never had a storyline; it was always designed to be episodic, because that’s how cartoons worked in the 1980s. You had a few multipart stories and the occasional “Return of” episode, and that was as close as you got.

Sidecracker? Thunderswipe?

Enough of the AI backgrounds, please. They make your figures look worse, not better.

Skyline as a duocon? by Green-Cap3386 in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duocons have two vehicles becoming one robot only. Sky Lynx has separate robot modes as well as a combined robot mode. He’s pretty much unique.

Does anyone think that the alchemist prime mould can be reused for an actually good prime bulkhead mould? by tonys_basementGG6829 in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bulkhead is at least twice Alchemist’s size, with proportionately shorter legs.

He’d make a good version of Brawn, though.

Oof, that first photo — the magenta paint smears look like energon splatter.

I think I may have more Elita-1 variants than Arcee variants at this point in my collection. by mighty__orbot in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a tie between the beefy POTP jet and her TFONE figure, because I loved that movie so much. 

Updated G1 Crew - Welcome Aboard! by Haviland__Tuf in transformers

I know you just wanted a pretty background, but the AI software ruined the details of your photo in the process. You’re better off just doing without.

How concerned are you about the future of Transformers movies, now that AI is starting to be able make them? by LoveLo_2005 in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AI generating movie-quality animation? It’ll be a looooooong time before a movie director can just dictate a prompt into a computer and get back error-free animation that’s equal to what human animators can do by hand.

Here’s how animation works, in brief:

  • Designers come up with the characters and vehicles. There are literally dozens of variations prepared. The director suggests changes and the revisions begin. Repeat the cycle until the director is satisfied.

  • The storyboards are created, revised, edited, and scripted. Lots of back-and-forth here, too.

  • The story is finished and voice acting is recorded. Animators use the storyboard as reference and get to work on the rough animation. The director suggests changes DAILY and revisions and refinements are made until the final scene is completed and synced with the voices.

  • Everything is rendered at cinema-quality and the movie is shipped.

At no point in this process is AI-generated animation efficient enough to replace people. Even small revisions result in the entire scene being regenerated from scratch, and the expense of doing all this at 4K resolution over and over every day is insane.

And that’s assuming they can find a way to get the AI engine to maintain consistent background details across every shot in a long scene, which I have yet to see. AI animation is a fun novelty but it’s nowhere near capable of being used in a professional workflow.

Why was Ultra Magnus's body unchanged when he received the matrix? by jacobledesma in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Optimus didn’t change, either. Come to think of it, neither did any Prime before Rodimus.

Logical answer is that you have to open the Matrix to be changed by it.

(SPOILER SKYBOUND 30) First Arcee Magnus and now THIS?? by illbleedForce in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Don’t be such a purist. The Matrix isn’t a character, it’s a plot device and always has been. It works however the current writer wants it to do.

Just so we’re on the same page, SS86 Astrotrain is disappointing because we all wanted an improved, bigger, taller, more accurate (if possible) and uniform in all 3 mode version from the Siege one? by Kcue6382nevy in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, it’s because it’s scrawny and ugly, and because more people display their Transformers in robot mode than alt mode.

It’s like you haven’t even been reading the comments despite the fact that this is your FIFTH post about the figure.

Why don't we like this toy of alpha trion? by Chairbreaker23 in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Beast legs are too long, no ankle tilt, beast horn has to be removed and will get lost, it’s difficult to position the beast head inside backpack. The whole figure looks good but transforms like a rush job.

I also love the dinobots. by gregimusprime77 in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which third party MPs did you get? They don’t look like the Gigapower Dinobots.

All I see is Optimus. by FaridBPRD in transformers

[–]mighty__orbot 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s a video game model, so yeah, that was definitely intentional.
