I really wish Roberts would stop writing sad gay robots. Neither are going to stop any time soon.

I wish people would stop complaining.

I also wish that people would stop adapting every real life problem or trend into comic books and movies in general, I like the Transformers and Star Wars franchises so I can run away from IRL stuff not to get more of it.

That makes me a hypocrite and I wish I wasn't one.

Starscream's ghost wasn't involved with the theft of Metroplex's cog. It was Metroplex's eyes that Starscream's ghost and Scourge tried to steal.

...Which can still happen with the release of Legends Octone with Headmaster Starscream

Uh...



Yes.



Looks like it's half mall, half itasha which really doesn't surprise me being Rhinox and all. I feel like I've seen the girl on the far left somewhere before, she's wearing a Japanese style hardhat with the cross on the front if that helps anyone ID her.

Isn't it R.I.D.'s/Car Robots' female computer ghost thingy. What was her name?

As Trypticon rises from the ocean in base form, Clouder orders his Tank Drones to fire, only for the Decepticon base to transform into a monstrous mobile form that Waspinator says has no precedent in Transformers fiction. Trypticon devours the troops, then begins eating his way across Yokohama in the direction of Metroplex, left immobile without his transformation cog. When Fortress arrives with the Battleship Maximus to put a stop to Weirdwolf's plan, Full-Tilt transforms Trypticon further into an airborne mode, allowing him to take a bite out of the Maximus. The Autobot Headmasters deploy onto Trypticon's hull, but they too are defeated and the Maximus is left to crash while Trypticon continues to Akihabara which is devastated by his landing.

Trypticon transforms to dinosaur mode and Full-Tilt interfaces with him, uploading his backup data and restoring his mind in anticipation for their attack on Metroplex. Meanwhile, Fortress has hit upon the idea of giving the Maximus's transformation cog to Metroplex and tasks Blurr and Wheelie with the mission. Blaster attempts to halt Trypticon's advance with an ultrasound blast only for his Zone Base to stomped on, and Megatron fares no better, losing his transtector to Trypticon's mouth cannons as he tries to take responsibility for not protecting Metroplex's cog, though his life is saved by the arrival of Shockwave. As the two witness Trypticon eating Headmasters for their energy, God Ginrai joins the fight, blasting the dinosaur with Triplemaster Chōkon Power. On noticing Trypticon is drawing on the power of all the Transformers, humans and beasts trapped in his belly, however, Ginrai realizes to his horror that Trypticon's power goes beyond that of a Triplemaster before the giant grabs him and tears off his Godbomber components.

Fortunately, Trypticon's repeated distractions has allowed Blurr and Wheelie to deliver the transformation cog to Metroplex, who transforms and confronts his old nemesis. Additionally, Alpha Trion has summoned forth Swerve, former victor over Trypticon. Swerve knows Trypticon has a weak spot on the underside of his foot and goads the beast into stepping on him, at which point he triggers explosives that injure the Decepticon and cause him to spit out his captives, allowing Metroplex to finish the job with an antimatter beam. While Swerve survives by being pushed into the ground, Akihabara is in ruins, and Alpha Trion calls on the Disaster Relief Team to help rebuild. Until then, the residents of Akihabara will live in the defeated Trypticon, who ends up decorated with all sorts of moe billboards, much to Full-Tilt's irritation.

Starscream's ghost wasn't involved with the theft of Metroplex's cog. It was Metroplex's eyes that Starscream's ghost and Scourge tried to steal.

I believe that later in the episode they brought Trypticon to Unicron to use his Transformation cog after stealing one of his eyes to make up for breaking one of Metroplex's.

Oho! SJW proof reader! Read the WHOLE context of my post or have I offended your fragile sensibilities again?

What's so wrong to see a girl in the comic? A bikini clad gal in this case! Is the skin exposure too strong for the sensibilities? That's what I was responding to or DID YOU NOT read the post I responded to?

R E A D First!

It would make sense for them to get at least some form of Japan release - especially in Megatron's case, to at least get some mileage out of the extra tooling not used for Blitzwing... and of course it would open the door for their respective rivals (Soundblaster and a non-black Convoy) without a whole lot of fuss required.

Assuming this is the case and that they're not just gonna have their Transtectors rebuilt (which isn't too far out of the realm of possibility; that's basically what happened in the first place right?), I'm really curious to see what an LG take on the Voyager Megatron mold would look like. I'm one of the ones who adores TR Megs so a second take on the deco would be cool to see!

Unnecessary.
Ease up.

That said, is there any evidence of Sakamoto working on Kiss Players? What's the worst stuff he's created if not? Tfwiki hasn't got any info on him being engaged in any controversy.

Such adult themed depictions in childrens' media frustrate me, too (or at least allow for debate on the matter). One could argue whether such content was via "easter eggs" or was balatantly on show and could be understood, to some extent, by the children watching it (arguably then reinforcing possibly negative views, imagery, etc).

I apologize that was very rude of me and undeserved.

Just a bad day and I'm recovering from an injury that is very irritating so seeing a post and a name from a user who has made a few posts that have irritate me in the past almost pushed me over the edge, I'm a very easily triggered person in general and I'm feeling worse then usual so I'm sorry ffor any immature and wrong behavior.

The worse I have heard from Sakamoto is that he draws curvy women/girls who sometimes have little amount of clothes and while it bothers me a little I just go with "Another day, another drawing or picture of a girl whatever" and then move on with my day because it's everywhere and there's nothing that can be done about it all I can do is just move along and ignore it.

At least Sakamoto is a decent drawer otherwise and has good TF lore knowledge nobody is perfect so I'm just going to outweigh the pros to the cons (Keeps me sane with that way of thinking) and I'm sure that Takara will just find someone else to replace him who might draw the same things.

I'll have a worse view of him if he does or draws anything worse but for right now it's just some harmless drawings.

All I want to say is that I tried to show the clone wars show to my family and my step dad (Who is a big fan of the movies) couldn't continue watching it after 6 episodes because of the way Ahsoka is dressed which is a shame because it's a great show but I understand his reasoning and I agree that her dress attire was not exactly appropriate, both outfits but for different reasons.
