Transformers general thread - Toy Robot men based on giant robots based on previously mentioned toys about said robots

[Bum Farto]

I realize with the upcoming bayverse movie with no confirmation date, the only thing we can go off with the movie either being A. a hard reboot. B. a soft reboot. or C. a whole new universe is whether Bumblebee's alt mode gets leaked on sets. If it never get leaked, its most likely a hard reboot. Could be a soft reboot given the alleged return of the Camaro Motor1's post of Camaro's supposed return in 2028. I kindof want to see him being like a sports sedan, sedan or crossover even if I hate crossovers with a sports trim package. I don't mind bee having a different alt mode. It's just more or less I want him to have a proper voice instead of a radio station given the last generation of Camaro had a touchscreen for a radio and cars in general.

Bring the rainbows.
G1/Diaclone based transformers are the only real transformers.
I grew up when the Movie came out. Didn't like it, loved the clever designs of G1 toys. Yes, they didn't articulate well, but in the context of the toy quality we had in the 1980s, they felt like a leap ahead.
Wish I had learned about Bandai POPY stuff back then, too (but that wasn't as common here).
Bayformers, G2 and the movie stuff ("Here, take a great toy and remove all the cool details from it!") can burn in a dumpster fire.

Something I've learned in my very short time enjoying this franchise (I got here late.) is that the real Transformers are the ones you enjoy the most. The franchise is huge. Enjoy what you want.

In other news, the Furai sets got here and I have assembled one (pics some other time?). They aren't anywhere near as intuitive as the Blokees sets in my honest opinion. I feel like I'm breaking them as I assemble them, and that really bums me out.

It's weird to say this because g2 was primarily rereleases of the diaclone g1 stuf in new colors not counting the little extra spinoffs vehicles, and bayformers' earlier years were a return to detailed realistic vehicle modes (not counting alternators a few years prior)
This also unintentionally reminded me how energon had the one guy that was clearly intended as a modernized remake of the g1/diaclone ironhide figure but you could only get it AS ironhide (and ratchet) via a convention exclusive set in like 2005.



Kind of a sign of the hell that was to come about a decade later in terms of characters being locked to exclusives.

I think this is less "troons" specifically and more "Influencers" but yes this one trooned out at some point.

Just let optimus spin spin it's not even a full swastika
