first wave? Hahahahaha. Battle of the Planets, Star Blazers, Robotech and Voltron all say hello.

The current IDW G1 comics retconned a lot of things from 1980s and 1990s TF fiction. They are also regarded as the best Transformers stories that currently exists.

God, I loved that scene. I think what makes this works is that the 3D actually feels like it "fits" together with the 2D, so there's not the disconnect you see in stuff like "Transformers: Energon".

"Transformers: Prime."

WFC and FOC came before the book series. So the novels retconned the story of the games, not the other way around.

Looked like more "goofy happy dancing" than "hey, wanna unbolt that chestplate for me, baby?" But Strongarm seems like the kind who would dropkick a bot if they got too grabby, so I'm not worried about her.

Another point in the proto-humans' favor is they contributed to one of the best Transformers episodes ever.

Well Optimus isn't quite dead...apparently he can reach out from wherever he is and make the odd appearance. I really hope they don't. He's got a figure (I just ordered it from Amazon) and that should be fine. Stay dead, Prime. And keep Megatron out of this.

I'm really loving the combination of 2D and 3D. I know they've been doing it for ages now, but there's something about this iteration that's delightful. There's a scene where Underbite asks a tiny bird the way to the city, and it's just the cutest thing. My wife—not normally a Transformers fan—is in love with him now.

Honestly, despite my initial misgivings when it was first announced, I'm pleased that I appear to wrong. I enjoyed the two part pilot quite a bit, and it's nice to see Bumblebee forced to step up and take a greater role in things. And there's something oddly charming about the new art style, that I'm already…

The big question, then, is why? Shutting down a game critic, even one as loud and brash as Sterling, is going to result in bad PR. There's almost no way for this to look good for the creator.

That gif has no business or relevance on this site!

You should be, its very clever, has great phrasing and is just fun to say.

I was rather proud of it m'self.

Eh. I'm a decent male and I squeeze my friend's butts in a joking way. Not like every day lol but one in a while. She just does it back.

There's also a guy who has squeezed my but and my boobs in a "joking" way...

I personally think the VA change is to differentiate Big Boss from Solid Snake, and to develop him as he transitions into the series' villain.

It's kids stuck in adult bodies who like this kind of shit and think it's "edgy."

Like the use of torture scenes pulled directly from horrifying photos of how we treated Guantanmo prisoners, with added blood and horror. Or rubbing the ashes of corpses all over your face. Or the most disgusting hidden tape in "Ground Zeroes," which dealt with two underage pubescents being forced to have sex for the…
