Also, the Bot Shots have bios, and many of them don't match up especially well with their Aligned portrayals. Prime and WF/FOC designs are probably the least-represented of all the influences the Bot Shots toys have. Principally, that if Bot Shots were going to be incorporated into another universe, it's not obvious which one it would be. I'm assuming this means something similar to the Kre-O characters actually being made of bricks - like the game mechanics actually exist within the fictional world. Why WAS Bot Shots split, again? Kre-O I get - what fiction there is has the characters actually made of blocks and so forth in a way that clearly isn't true for any other universe - but what's the reasoning for not just making BS part of Aligned (whose aesthetic already varies wildly between WfC/FoC and Prime) that doesn't also apply to, say, breaking IDW out of G1? - SanityOrMadness 11:55, (EDT)Īccording to the Bot Shots page, there is "unique fiction related to the game". The only exception is Slipstream, whose bio is explicitly Animated Slipstream's, clone and all (and artwork similar to her WfC appearance). LV 11:00, (EDT)Īs stated above, the bios are a blend of FoC and G1 with a dash of Movie/Prime thrown in for good measure even the Super Rare versions of characters keep the same bio while having updated G1/Aligned art. (Sort of like all those Chinese MMO characters we still don't know anything about, although at least those characters are unique.) Anyway, keep it like it is, IMO.
I think it is clearly intended to be G1 I think a case could be made to split it off as its own universe, but due to the nature of the product all that would get us would be dozens of virtually empty character pages, which unlike Bot Shots wouldn't even have their own dedicated merchandise to keep track of. Some characters have new bodies, there's a Slipstream, Elta is a motorcycle and Arcee borrows from Prime, but still. I haven't played it either, but I've seen pretty much all of the character art posted on Tumblr, and it sure looks pretty blatantly G1 to me. I've not played it a ton, but it does seem like it's intended to be as G1 as it can possibly make itself. Folks who have played the game a ton what do you think?- ZacWilliam 05:59, (EDT) But the execution makes me want to say it could also be a very G1y branch of Alligned. The intention is very clearly to be Modern G1 in the same way the IDW comics are IMO. Art is G1 pretty much across the board with some of CHUGUR toy influence. A few of the Bios are from FoC toys but the vast bulk are just the G1 bios, pretty exactly which would make for a ton of really unnecessary pages. Arcee is really the only merger I've seen most of it is pretty straight G1. Then again it blends in a lot of Modern toyline stuff. To the point where it would feel a bit weird to pretend it wasn't. The game seems VERY intended to be G1 to me. are we looking at a Bot Shots/Kre-O situation here? Would splitting them into (Legends) be a thing to do? - M Sipher 03:12, (EDT)
I've not played this, but it kinda seems like we're looking at more redesigns/amalgams. Why is Slipstream linked to the WFC character when everyone else is G1? Wouldn't this represent the creation of a G1 Slipstream? - KilMichaelMcC 16:58, 26 April 2013 (EDT) Is there a way to modify this so that the characters on each side are arranged in two or more columns? Or could we get separate Autobot and Decepticon tables with columns for each level of rarity? Having a two column table that stretches over three screens is less than ideal. 9 Linking to TF Legends events on individual characters' pages?.
