While Hasbro is trying to make do with a couple of mediocre cartoons, in Japan so far there is nothing going on for Takara after Wild King?

Nta, I enjoy GGG, but RID is a much better Transformers show that has a better Super Robot aesthetic and less QUAILTY animation.

Car Robots, Micron Legend, Superlink and Galaxy Force all have cool robot designs.
The appeal of super robot to me is the robot gets new power up combinations through out the series.
I would say TF Go is amazing too, but the model doesn't translate well to the toy.

The toys are cool, but the show itself is not so much, imo. It's pretty cool that we're in an age where we're seeing a bunch of updated toys for Japanese Transformers.

I may be the minority, I didn't really finished any shows. I'm more interested in the toys.
I actually prefer the Legends Star Convoy because I absolutely love combining robot even though the new one have better proportions.

Speaking of Energon Universe, what are /m/s thoughts of Arcee Magnus? Not sure how necessary making her a leader is, but at least she's not replacing Prime. Interested on what her Toy will look like in the near future.

Thundercracker's face in the previous panel is funny
Also Brawn is literally the Autobot Dwarf

He's still awkward being part of the Autobots, so I can't blame him.
And Brawn has always been an Autobot Dwarf, both in height and personality.

What are your feelings about robot cannibalism?

To be extremely honest, I just wish that mold became Super Ginrai instead of a cheap excuse for a Star Convoy made to scale with a proper Super Megatron toy. Well, if Hasbro and Takara Tomy says they want an all-original redo of Super Megatron to match up with Star Convoy... Okay.
But the real thing I want right now are newer versions of the Autobot Headmaster Juniors. Complete with working Titan Master gimmicks.

A hot rod hitches up to a truck, and after some time on the road, pulls into a trucker station. Another truck driver asks him why he's pulling a truck with such a sporty vehicle. The hot rod replies, becauseI HAVE THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP AND I WILL DO WHAT I LIKE.

A lot of people point to Citroen Loadrunners (which were literally cars rebuilt into trucks) or stuff like the GM Bison.

These things are kind of fascinating. The base cars had the right kind of suspension to support the extended chassis so they made great high speed delivery vehicles.

easy explanation for that is that Car robots was a 100% Japanese production where as Armada was co designed with Hasbro din initial designs that Takara refined. But were still beholen to American sensibilities.
The only American influence on Car Robots was the Destrongers using the US codesigned Transmetal 2 aesthetic and likely Black Convoy/ Spychangers since they were originally made for toys intended for the US market.

This remind me, they actually had a bigger Rodimus Prime in prod, but it never came out. I wonder if it would still have the goofy legs sticking out of the cab.

I have a big softspot for Jetpower Optimus. Optimus Prime + flight pack has always yielded a great sillhouette.
