Hey guys
the point I wanted to drive home to you was the fact that the alt modes should be as far removed from any Earth Form or influence in there design whatsoever… the more I keep thinking about it the “battle shopping cart” (that comes from Headmaster Don by the way) it’s based more/from the comic book if anything else… for prime what I did realize is The Siege line is basing everything off more than meets the eye episode 1 for those first few minutes I’m not sure where sound waves Dropship mode comes from for we only saw him with the one mode but I guess he’s a triple changer now?
illregardless The Point again I’m trying to make is this (even setting aside the fact they’re bipedal or biped whichever the term is more correct) they should be as alien as possible from anything from Earth modes they would posses
later so I don’t see where these “seige” modes have anything that falls under those lines…Minus a few here and there that they chose stuck with.. I guess the true Clincher will be if and when they do a bumblebee a wheelJack and a jazz if they do I personally feel those latter 3 will be the toughest for them to make.
C-beast, you told me to go ahead and pick one the one I’m going to pick is the one that sets the template up for everything else to follow:
When they come from Cybertron originally with no “outside influences” in their alt modes from anything that you could compare it to.
That template sets the precedents that all else follows going forward for me..thats what Hasbro failed for me in this line…please dont tell me that some of these forms are not “earth influenced/are just coincidence”..no sir,dont beli e,dont belive it at all,Hasbro just won’t take that risk.
Alien robots that transform/alter there form into something else should have little to nothing in common with earth influenced forms,look at the war/fall of cybertron games,in some they may had wheels and that i can give mostly a pass on but the rest is pretty far removed for me for the most part.
Now that cockpit thing when your self controlling your own alt mode…
That’s something else for another time..
