Even Animated wasn’t immune to that kind of error: There was one episode where, for a split-second, Bumblebee has a red Decepticon symbol. It goes by the screen VERY quickly, so it’s easy to miss.

@Jarkes  
energon and cybertron would make a strange case if they had the wrong faction symbols errors.

@OptimusPrimevil
 
Instead, those shows had tons of OTHER errors.

@Jarkes  
energon more so (cybertron being forced into the story doesn’t really make sense)

@Background Pony #AA07  
For existing bodies Grandus would be a good fit. If they ever made a proper Tidal Wave though…  

 
@OptimusPrimevil  
Sadly, no. Broadside never made it past concept stage. More’s the pity.
 
@Jarkes  
I always headcanon’d that altmodes simply adapted to the robot form, like how Cliffjumper is a tiny Porsche. Also size-changing.
 
@OptimusPrimevil  
Quoth the wiki: “Best use of size changing ever.”.
 
@Jarkes  
That’s AKOM for ya. Admittedly, the whole show had that but AKOM’s a bit easier to notice.

@Solitude  
It took me forever to figure out who that was  
I kept staring at him thinking “your so familiar who are you?” then finally it hit me and I face palmed for taking so long to realize it I’m so ashamed of myself
 
I have to wonder about the canon-ness of the menu for a few reasons:  

@Background Pony #AA07  
I’unno ‘bout canon. You’ll have to ask the people that made it.
 
Or half as big, at least. Some kind of troop carrier/transport, maybe.

 
VS pic or the most WTF kissplayer picture in history?!! you decide

@OptimusPrimevil  
That thing on the left. Steven Universe?

@Solitude  
yup!
 
both are fusion characters so i made the match-up but miscalculated how much space the beast would be taking up (it’s definitely the bigger fusion)

@OptimusPrimevil  
Hmmm. Well my first thought was “Aw look, they’re made for each other.”.

@Solitude  
ha ha!
 
seriously, i’d like to see a fixed fusion toy of ‘the beast’ (for maximum stability/poseability)

would ganbaruger work as a g1 magnaboss?  
 
though one of the units is specified to be a tiger, it looks more like a lion thanks to the “mane”

I genuinely love the g1 toys for ratchet and ironhide
 
When you take into account the fact that these toys were originally designed as piloted mechs they start looking a lot cooler. Or at least to me they do.

@Too_Offensive  
are gi joes too big to ride them?

@OptimusPrimevil  
I’m pretty sure a g.i. Joe would be taller than them. They were made for these guys

@Too_Offensive  
tiny. so -masters are too big for them also?

@OptimusPrimevil  
You might be able to cram one in there but it’s unlikely Especially considering most -masters With bendable legs have big fat butts

Goddamit Hasbro will you just do a TF/Joe toyline already!
 
Look at the Human Alliance line for DOTM those guys coulda easily been Joes and Cobras
 
They did their Comic Con exclusives as crossovers for years
 
Just do it already!!

@Background Pony #AA07  
anticipation intensifies

@OptimusPrimevil  
It’s so simple but their so stupid about it
 
Just do Human Alliance again but use GI Joe instead of a bunch of made people no one cares about
 
Just look at some of the names for human partners: Major Tungsten,  
Sgt. Chaos, Sgt. Noble, Major Altitude  
All generic as hell
 
Now imagine having Transformers that turn into vehicles of Joes and Cobra with partners like: Snake Eyes, Flint, Scarlet, Zartann, Firefly, And Stormshadow
 
Which would you rather play with

@Background Pony #AA07  
i’d imagine they’ll do a full line for that. just need to have more toy engineering to level up to have both gi joes and transformers to be done satisfactorily (not just one half of the package looking great and the other so-so)

@Background Pony #AA07  
to be fair, the human alliance line has better creative freedom than a gi-joe/transformers line (the non-GI joe vehicles enabled the designers to incorporate the humans riding them gimmick much better).
