Define G-1?Sparky Prime wrote:Difference being, the live actions films have an aesthetic style all its own while WFC/FOC is clearly much more based on the designs of G1. I mean, you could call ROTF Devastator a homage to G1 Devastator, but because of the radically different style of the movies, it's pretty much in name only.Tigermegatron wrote:If on-line fans can accept FOC toys as 1980's G-1 homage toys That are clearly in a different G-1 alternate universe. I don't see what the big deal is of accepting some TF4 (that exist in a different G-1 alternate universe) toys ALSO as 1980's G-1 homages.
Saying TF4 Grimlock,TF4 Dinobots toyS & the TF4 Stunticons toys won't count as a G-1 homages yet FOC Grimlocks toy & the FOC Combaticons toys counts as G-1 1980's homages is pure epic Ridiculousness, biased & a Contradictory way of thinking to suit ones opinion.
all these newer TF toy lines from 2001 thru 2013,All exist in alternate universe versions of G-1. Even Classics/Generations toys exist in a alternate G-1 TF toy universe.
2001 Rid,AEC,TFA,Movie-verse,Classics/Generations & TFP ALL EXIST IN DIFFERENT ALTERNATE G-1 UNIVERSES. Each toy line has a completly different designs style aesthetics than the 1980's TF toys had.
The FOC generations toys don't even have the same style designs aesthetics that 1.0,2.0 & 25th had.
FOC is not meant to exist in the original 1980's TF G-1 Uiverse,FOC exist in a alternate G-1 Universe like Rid,AEC,TFA,Movie-verse & TFP does.
At the very least if the TF4 movie/toy line has 5 Stunticons that form Menasor,Their will be 4 sports cars-bots & a truck-bot that merges to form Menasor,These toys will be more/better 1980's G-1 homages than the FOC Combaticons were.
To say the FOC combaticons toys are decent G-1 1980's homage toys,Is basically saying,you never watched any of the 1980's TF Cartoons nor read any of the 1980's TF marvel comics. Because according to the 1980's TF cartoon series,Starscream created that bruticus combined mode,Bruticus never existed in the past on Cybertron millions of years ago. In the 1980's G-1 cartoon series Starscream didn't put those stolen sparks/whatever in alt modes he figured would match the original combaticons cybertronian alt modes abilities like flight,ground,armored,etc.. Starscream didn't care,he saw 5 earth vehicles & just threw the sparks/whatever in whatever vehicles he felt like throwing them into.
As far as the 1980's TF G-1 marvel comics are concerned,the combaticons never existed in the past on cybertron in cybetronian type vehicles/bodies. The Combaticons in the marvel G-1 comics were created on the earth & were given newer personas/sparks/whatever.
Saying TF4 Grimlocks toy & the TF4 Stunticons toys won't count as a G-1 homage yet FOC Grimlocks toy & the FOC Combaticons toys counts as G-1 1980's homages is pure epic Ridiculousness, biased & a Contradictory way of thinking to suit ones opinion.
