Definitely in the minority, but killing Optimus Prime and moving the story forward is the best, smartest thing the Transformers writers could have done.

buttheadsmate Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) I'm very slowly beginning to like these ....true! Arriving here, several years ago with even less knowledge of toys than I do now, I realised the love for Transformers & GI Joe by many members . I named a house 'Bumblebee Barn' without having a clue that the most famous TF was called  Bumblebee !!  People (sending me stuff) applauded me on my cool choice of housename  which was often accompanied by ironic comments when guys realised that my actual /real surname is Cornholio . So I am beginning to like the TF Minimates & I'm hoping for my favourite  ,Ratchet ,whose alter ego (?) I believe is a large ambulance . I was researching his backstory & who knew ??  When he was smaller he was known as Mouseshit . Spoiler I am on holiday, it is raining ,I am sober & a tad bored   Edited June 2 by buttheadsmate grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) well, bigbadtoystore already sold out of thier SDCC set! maybe they only planned on ordered a few but that's cool. Â Ratchet is one of my favorites too and should be easy to repaint to ironhide Edited June 2 by nandoninny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I think as an adult I would agree if it wasn’t a children’s property. The movie had a completely different story tone which is great— except that wasn’t communicated to the audience. If I was a parent I’d be taken aback if I was taking my kid to see a cartoon movie of a show that suddenly went very dark without warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
