I mean, I guess I could point out Computron's torso looking decidedly unlike the toy (is there a 3rd Party add-on it's evoking?)... but Optimus is front and center with his entire hip section lifted open with a very prominent piston right below. That's one of those things you try avoiding in a children's property.

I think he's a bit harder than just "kinda".

We hear it at the end of the video.
Emerje
You're right, good job me.
In my defense I only watched it once, and he doesn't actually say anything, just some grunts and yells.

Okay, I surrender. I only rewatched the last bit of the trailer to see Megatron's lines when I posted that. Clearly I just need to rewatch it all before I stick my foot any further in my mouth. If that's possible.

It looks like they started modeling Computron off of the UW version but then halfway through some Hasbro exec came running through the door yelling "No! No, no, you're supposed to make it look like our toy, not that better looking one overseas!" And then they decided the best way to make him look like the Hasbro one without scraping all of their work was to give him a faceplate.

Its probably the same artist who drew the Little Mermaid movie poster.

So true.
Back on topic. Now, I kinda wonder if Galvatronus will have a roll in this series... I can imagine Victorion making an appearance, but Galvatronus would be even more amazing. It'd make for some awesome combining scenes with the force-combine thing.

I'd personally love for all the CW guys that couldn't be in IDW to make it into this series, which is already happening as is shown with Computron here. Even just the Combiners that are in IDW but didn't show up until after the Combiner Wars series like Bruticus and Sky Reign. Imagine if the G2 guys appeared...

Oh man that'd be awesome. I'd love it if Superion changed colors, and Menasor could change just because it kinda fits his crazy personality. Bruticus however...

They could always blow past it it as Super Modes they gain from the 7 Chaos Furmanites after wishing on the DraG2 Balls.

I'd be blown away by an appearance by Predaking, Abominus, or Piranacon since they have yet to show up in any current fiction.
Posted by Kurona on June 30th, 2016 @ 3:22pm CDT
Though, Predaking did appear in Botcon's Dawn of the Predacus; while Piranhacon/King Neptune appeared in Beast Wars Shattered Glass. Not to mention Abominus being the primary Decepticon combiner in Shattered Glass.

But anyway...I'm sure it will be cool no matter what/who we get. Also, Does anyone want to lay odds that it will end with a Titans Return Cliffhanger?

o.supreme wrote:Yeah I was referring to mostly mainstream fiction. those combiners all also appeared in IDW/DDP TF/GI Joe Volume 3 crossover, but I don't count that either.

Yeah, it's inspired by IDW, but in its own new continuity.Tyrannacon wrote:I watched the trailer for it today and I'm actually looking forward to it, but it seems like the continuity is different from the IDW G1 Comics around the time? I mean Optimus is fighting Megatron, but that's definitely different in the comics. Still interesting though.

It's basically a new continuity inspired by the idea of combiners fighting. Previous plot summaries have told us it's set "after the war", with many details that just don't align with IDW's version of events.

What do you mean "back"? It's never stopped. New continuities spring up practically every time something completely new comes about.padfoo wrote:So we are back to adding more multiple continuities again

They always do. Look at combiner wars, the bio is set in a different continuity than the G1 show or G1 comic or IDW comic. Everythign is always based on the known characters with different things changed to fit the plot, medium or whims of the marketting or production teams. This is a toy brand, all continuity is superfluous at its core (though rather enjoyable of course, helping the brand stay current).

Check again.
Edit: Lol I wish so much that I could delete my captions. That last one was probably unneeded. Sorry Will.
