[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] The more I see these, the more I like the design ethic. These are SENTIENT ALIEN MACHINES, after all. The concept that the original G1 guys look like they COULD turn into Earth vehicles even before they got there, is ludicrous (though admittedly this was reconned somewhat in the Dreamwave comics). Beast Wars got it right by showing their generic robot forms pre-Beastialization (or whatever), and Beast Machines also got it right by showing the Vehicons as non-terrestrial tanks and such with visible mouths and such (on Cybertron there's no need for disguise, so why not have a head in cycle mode?). This is a logical extension of those ideas. You can SEE that Optimus is a decidedly non-Earth robot underneath truck parts that are essentially pasted on, which will shift to become a truck "shell" as the alien machinery underneath moves around inside it to accomodate the shape. Also, this Optimus has a mouth, but under a classic Prime faceplate which presumably retract. Best combination, and far better than he various mouths that Optimus Primal got stuck with after his first body. But essentailly, instead of the G1 "cars that change into robots" toy mentality, here we have robots that change into cars, done far better than ever before. I like. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
