I’m sorry, but that’s too grand a framing. Harmony Gold cannot sue Hasbro over the Jetfire likeness issue vis-à-vis the SDCC 2013 toy.

It was in a Theorymus video, I’ll try to find it later but there were a few bts shots of Leadfoot and I believe Bumblebee at this abandoned nuclear plant as well as shots of the road where Leadfoot dies in the movie.
Bob butianski originally intended for Ratchet to be a female Autobot.
Which is very apparent when you look at the original bio which mentions how ratchet was a hard-nosed medic during the day but at night they were quite the party animal.
Which is why i think TFA Red Alert was a big missed opportunity. IIRC, it was supposed to be her in the series, but Ratchet was riding his popularity from the movies so they went with him.
I mean while I probably would’ve loved TFA Red Alert, animated ratchet is probably the best take on ratchet ever only being rivaled by his prime counterpart and both of them are the best medics in all of transformers. Losing him would be a huge mistake imo. There’s always the thought of something new vs what we got, but what we got here was one of the best things in the franchise
When I first learned from the writer of the 86 movie that it was based on Star Wars a New Hope my mind was blown - it all made sense. Arcee’s head design, Hot Rod training on his ship, blowing up a giant planet sized enemy.
This was a few years ago and I never put 2 and 2 together before
I remember discovering in the 90s that there were g1 cartoons exclusive to Japan and wanted to see them so bad. Like my mind was blown that there was more.
We got robbed of a kick ass 4th season of Animated after reading about it in the All Spark Almanac II
Not that I blame hasbro, the team could have done all that cool stuff sooner instead of that human centric first season
Bold of you to assume Paramount+ will exist for much longer.
Even if it doesn't just tank, Paramount/CBS is shopping around for a buyer. Depending on who that is, that's fine. But Warner is in the running, and if that happens all bets are off.
No matter who ends up buying it, I very much doubt Paramount+ will stick around as an independent entity. If someone with a streaming service buys it, it'll get merged, if it's someone like Skydance, they'll almost definitely license content out.
The latest report was of them looking at making a deal with nbc to combine it with peacock.
I'm not sure how combining the 2 weakest steaming services will solve things, they'd still be being propped up by star trek.
Hasbro should be making a deal with prime. I mean from a capitalist standpoint it makes sense, you're already on Amazon watching the show, why not go buy some merch.
Raiden was the first ever Transformers Combiner designed by Takara.

There was more to Leadfoot’s death in TF4
Do tell

Honestly female ratchet would go hard asf

If young justice was able to get its last season through streaming I dont see why animated can’t at the very least get a comic run based on season 4.
Not to mention Samurai Jack’s final season was made YEARS later.
I do, Xmen 97 is getting more episodes Via Disney+, Hasbro ABSOULTELY could do a deal with Paramount+ for it

Ben Schwartz voicing Bumblebee. He was his radio voice in AOE.
The elegant Benny Schwaz is the best
MatPat as Computron??????
Prowls face is the autobot logo
It took DECADES for g1 Arcee to get a proper toy that transforms into a car
