Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

"oh yeah prime and WfC are the same universe and characters
...even though in WfC Starscream was the scientist in charge of messing with dark energon and in prime he's all 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT'
and oh yeah the dinky little kid's cartoon is ALSO the same universe, I guess they're Optimus's second family that he visits during 'business trips'."
it's kinda sad to watch but at the same time they're trying
because
it's not animated
NO NINJA PROWL, NO SALE.
Also, we're learning about primates in Anthropology class, and I I kept thinking TRUKK NOT MUNKY.
Then I wondered if there was an alternate continuity where beast wars was the original canon, and people screamed MUNKY NOT TRUKK.
Unicron! I told you before, stop gnawing on the reality wall!
No! NO!
Someone grab the squirt bottle, Unicron just won't listen
You're watching the new Thundercats, right? You know, when they actually bother the show it.
That's the explanation they actually use as far as I can tell.
Stop it SUPERMAN, you're BREAKING THE WORLD!
Well Animated "wasn't Beast Wars" and we still liked it. Beast Wars "wasn't G1" and we still liked it.
Basically shut up and like Prime
Check out my toy Review blog: The Plastic Vault
well that's just not true
I've spoken out against the designs, the voice actors, the plots
pretty much everything you can
the things with animated being compared to beast wars and beast wars being compared to G1 aren't really cogent arguments because animated is a very recent show with strong designers, voice actors and writers of its own whereas folk only ever hated beast wars compared to G1 because of rose-colored glasses
Also, I grew up on G1, but I really like that Bumblebee actually looks like a bumblebee now. That is one Bay/Prime design I think is quite clever.
I don't care about the humans in Prime, but I don't care about the humans in ANY Transformers. Otherwise, I really like it. I've watched enough to make me preorder the season set.
GFWL: Genesius Prime / PSN: Genesius_Prime / Origin: genesiusprime / 3DS: 4871-3718-5715
But how can you hate Steve Blum, Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Jeffrey Combs, Ernie Hudson, Adam Baldwin and Clancy Brown.
The first season plot of any show is always full of growing pain world-building (and fuck a Miko, but I hated Sari too)
And the comparison argument actually has some bearing because there's always a vocal minority that hates everything that's not the last thing they liked (and then end up liking it). A few years from now they'll be hating the next thing because it's not Prime.
But I'm also a strong believer in buying a Transformer based on whether or not it's a good toy, not so much the show/continuity of where it comes from. And a lot of the Prime toys are good toys!

It just seems like "oh hey you like transformers right? We've got tons of stuff you like and we aren't going to experiment with it!"
It's dull. Decepticons fight autobots for resources. There's tiny amounts of autobots like the movie. The biggest changes are silent soundwave and the decepticon prime, which only lasts til the second episode of next season according to the episode blurbs
let's all go look at the concept art of animated powermaster prime
pics or gtfo
Animated got an ok, if rushed finale but there could have been so much more amazing stuff
Prime is ok. Not bad, not great. Mediocre, average, not fantastic.
Hey, anyone want to split a box of those Microns Arms things? $30 for a box of mixed 10, so there might be at least two full sets in there. Gonna preorder it anyway because it's BBTS.
not-cool things about prime: everything else
it lost a lot of goodwill with me over the cliffjumper thing
that's two things
hrm.
hrm.
i liked the original model for Onslaught and I'm sad they had to change it this much since Brawl stayed the same
I really like that guy
I have actually not played war for cybertron yet
but it is on demand
I axe you, how's the single player, because I ain't too big on multi
not offensive, but not great
As we greatly value our TRANSFORMERS fans and consumers, we appreciate the opportunity to clarify and explain the current situation with TRANSFORMERS PRIME First Edition figure availability in the U.S.
We very much apologize for the miscommunication with our great retailers in the U.S. Regrettably, as a result, the TRANSFORMERS PRIME First Edition Wave 2 Deluxe, Wave 1 Voyager and Entertainment Pack figures were posted for pre-sale in error. Final product was not produced for these figures to ship within the U.S. As such, any consumer who placed a pre-sale order with Big Bad Toy Store or Entertainment Earth in the U.S. received a note that their order had been cancelled and these orders will not be fulfilled. While it is common for Hasbro to cancel production and/or shipment of collectible figures prior to being listed for pre-sale, this particular situation was unique. We deeply regret this circumstance and understand your frustration.
We would also like to express that we hear the fan community in the U.S. loud and clear – you want these specific TRANSFORMERS PRIME First Edition figures. While we can’t confirm anything at this time, and the format in which these figures are packaged and distributed may change, the team is looking into ways to make these available at a later date in the U.S. and will keep the fan community and our retailers posted as opportunities develop. We want to make this right, and making these figures available to the U.S. fans is a top priority for the team. We greatly appreciate your understanding and ongoing enthusiasm for the brand and hope in the mean time, you enjoy the TRANSFORMERS PRIME figures that are hitting shelves now and in the coming weeks.
Regards,
The TRANSFORMERS Team
tl;dnr: Hasbro is sorry and will try to get out the remaining Prime First Edition figures out in the US in some fashion.
If only...
If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs, The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies. The wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, And cries to the moon, if only, if only
