No, he’s using TLK as an example of what might happen

Credit where credit's due, at least there are two characters in that Class that aren't Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime and Grimlock. The rest of the Classes repeat the same characters over and over.

I would have bought them again if they did.

I'm nearly 42 and French Canadian. In my childhood right until my early adult years, ALL the names of ANY anime characters were changed into French ones for any anime dub in French. No, really.

Just about all anime shown on US TV also had character names changed for the English dubs through the '90s and parts of the 2000s.

Of course some shows aimed at kids still do that because apparently TV execs still think kids don't understand what Japan is. Meanwhile they want kids to think donuts come on a stick...

Honestly, if I was a kid watching Pokemon and they were eating rice balls in the English dub, I'd probably want rice balls, I wouldn't care how it sounded. If they're eating them they have to be good!

For those unaware, the entire line is based on gimmicks with simplified transformations. This is very different the previous cartoon line, Robots in Disguise, which at least had the legion and warrior class devoid of gimmicks or action feautures and had the same complexity as their counterpart classes in previous toylines.

While we have yet to get video reviews, we do have new stock images showing us the final product, for both the scout and warrior class. Please be aware that the scout class does not full transform, they go from robot mode to a mid transformation where an action feature is activated.

The images were sent our way thanks to Scotty P who found them on a toy website called Uncle Pete's Toys.

20 Euros? in the UK? Where exactly is that store located? I'm confused. :O


And please let's just burn those poor half-transformer scout things and put them out of their misery. The Scout class used to mean decent fully transformable figures back in the last decade whether it was Energon, Cybertron or Revenge of the Fallen.

Okay, well in fact they do so clearly I'm just a grumpy old man but the what I've noticed when in stores is that it's parents who tend to push their kids toward the simpler, less step-involving figures. Now to some extent the reasoning make sense; a simpler toy mean, in theory, that little Billy can more easily play with it.

I dont really see how this is any different than the predators and turbomasters that were on the shelves in the late 80s early 90s.

I didn't forget those. I used to get a bit disappointed when I'd get one cos that wasn't what I wanted in a Transformer but I kept them because it was the only version of that character so that's what they were and they still had distinct forms of robot and alt-mode(s). These Scouts have no reason to exist like they do. They are plenty far superior versions of these characters done as toys that fully transform.

I don't understand. Those turned into full vehicle modes and while kinda simplistic compared to today's figures they weren't far off what had been coming out in the mainline Transformers for the past few years back then. It's these Scout things that have me shaking my head in disbelief. Transformers that can't fully transform. That somehow seems worse than Transformers that cannot transform at all (yeah Action Masters) because at least they didn't pretend otherwise.

Skritz was talking about the entire toyline, not just the scouts. Same with my reply.
