![]() Though I would be pleased if it caused further problems with Aligned continuity holding together. I don't want to bog down this thread with the details Beast Machines' levels of wrongness, just trying to provide some sort of counterpoint to all this leftover knee-jerk Animated hate, since nothing would make me happier than this series magically being a 4th season of Animated. ![]() I would gladly take ten Nanosecs or Mastersons over one Raf! Human villains are much better than human protagonists, and human protagonists are only good when they turn out to be transformers! But it would be nice to have a series with no humans in it.Beast Machines already happened.Beast Machines made some horrible mistakes that Hasbro has wisely not allowed subsequent series to repeat, but excising humanity was not one of them I too would like to see that tried again. Great Transformers characterisations but childish situations/ human villains. Windsweeper wrote:Rescue Bots suffered from the same problem, to me at least, as Animated. I just wanted to let you know that that picture is a two-dimensional painting presented on a flat surface. You can like the image all you want, but those legs are badly drawn and show zero perspective or depth. Look at this image with an un-biased eye please-those legs are flat. I'm sorry but seeing a bit of 'shading' and using your imagination to fill the gap between actual art critique and a skewed vision to stay on the good side of an image is appalling. The lower half of the image almost looks like it has been warped. There is zero depth and dimension in those legs/ feet. You can see a shadow/shading on them to show the depth and dimension of them angling diagonally upward towards the ankles. ![]() Looks like someone rolled over his feet with a bulldozer.They don't look flat to me. I think there might have been hints taken from Animated, since Prime's own style was influenced by it, as a sort of frog DNA to fill in the gaps in translating the look back into two dimensions, but that's pure Prime.īalgus82 wrote:Doesn anyone else really hate the way those feet look? They're completely flat and don't gel with the way the rest of the body looks. The eyes could have followed the Animated look, but they don't - they manage to look like glowing spheres with the little ring, not just a lamp behind a translucent plate.Īnything else they have in common, like the sharp edges and bright colors and the general kind of economy of line they both make use of, is all basically common to American animation for TV in general, particularly actiony shows. Everything else about that face, down to the crazy eyebrows and the utter lack of anything resembling lips, just reads as a simplified version of the Prime style. Then there's the face, which is, well, "just Prime." Prime inherited Animated's lack of noses, and this style inherits it back. The only thing that stands out as "superflat" or "2D and loving it" about Bee is his right hand. The proportions are also more Primey (thicker thighs, bulky arms) and there's more a sense of material properties, shading, and dimension. Look at the complicated outline around the ankles, too - the silhouettes in Animated try to tie things up more than that, lots of convex shapes. ![]() In Animated, that whole layered jacket of armor would have been one big polygon with Bee's torso over his whole body, there are lots of little angles and joints in the plates that would have read as flat with a seam in Animated. There are a lot of layered panels and free-hanging bits on the Bumblebee, where the Animated designs looked more "solid," with things like Prime's wheels looking embedded into or almost sculpted into the sides of his ankles.
