Reason I ask is in TF: One, Pax receives the matrix and comes back as Optimus Prime.

But in the bayverse movies, Prime doesn't get the matrix until Sam gives it to him in the desert. But he's referred to as a Prime since the first film, even though he doesn't have it.

Ik this might differ across different TF media, but my understanding is that he doesn't become prime until he has the matrix. So does that apply to all primes or just him?

I recently got flashbacks to playing that game on the Wii as a kid. It was like the best thing that had ever happened to me. I’ll admit, I haven’t seen anything about it in over 10 years, but that game was the best thing that ever happened to 9 year old me.

I was 9, so the lack of movement was a bonus, because I could be legitimately good at the game. I remember the story so vividly. I remember the cutscenes, it’s like the whole reason I liked Starscream as a kid. Literally the best game ever made. I wish I could find the disk, but maybe it’s for the best that I don’t.

Argument I had with my dad watching Rise of the Beasts. What do you think?

Hey all bit of a random post but i remember watching a video a long while back showing all the transformers from the bayverse films. Found this ss on of the fandoms reminding me abt it but i cant seem to find the original video. Any help would be appreciated!

I wanna buy the studio series Optimus and Megatron figures......... Butttttt that brave commander Optimus is hella fine.

Anyone know if there will be a Megatron one? From what I've heard most YouTube reviewers are doubtful.

Mine goes back over a year. I did unbox Legacy Gears which came in during this time period, but that was to make sure that his chest piece (which I didn’t know was taken off for security purposes) was packed in there.

I haven't watched the Headmaster anime yet but, I always prefer the Japanese version of Headmasters, small robots using larger bodies rather than 2 beings forming a link. It got me thinking, if a Headmaster's Transtector were to be shot in the chest that would normally be fatal, would they survive? The Cybertronian is purely the head (granted a shot to the head is a shot to the head).

Context to why I'm asking: I've recently got back into Transformers because of One, and I'm the type of person that likes having an oc/self insert character into franchises. I would like my OC to be a Japanese styled headmaster, but the story I'm coming up with drastically depends whether a headmaster can survive a shot to the chest of their Transtector.

Thanks in advance.
