in Iron Man 2 Don Cheadle will be playing Rhodes (War Machine). His face is different, his physique is different. He is still the same character. it is still the same continuity. everyone gets bent out of shape about the artist interpretation in this book but really, its the same characters if you read the dialogue and for the most part its the same color schemes and alt modes (with the exception of a few, thank you i knew that). The faces are those of machines, they do all look alike, i imagine these guys were created on a factory line possibly by quintessons. the faces should all look the same. a few characters retain the mouthplates they had in g1 (seaspray,wheeljack) while others retain battle helmets (swindle, ultra magnus).evryone is recognizeable. and who cares about the humans? who reads transformers for the humans?
You're comparing a live movie sequel to a continuous comic story arc. Something gets lost in translation there. I know they are the same characters, but the radical difference between the two art styles in a story arc that is supposed to be running concurrently is more than annoying. Its like having all the Movieverse comic tie ins being drawn with the G1 representations of their respective characters. It just doesn't work.
