Yeah, that vinyl sign Jeff mentioned sure is... something. Even putting aside the "Warriorbot" logo, which looks like an eighth grader's idea of a Transformers logo, there's the bad spelling and straight up using the wrong Predacon logo. It's like a hat trick of phoned in research.
There was an 80's Video Power cartoon where, I want to say Solid Snake drove around in Big Foot with a tomato, a sports ball guy, and some barbarian tagging along...
That would be The Power Team, which included such gaming luminaries as Kuros from Wizards and Warriors, Guy from NARC, and Guy from Arch Rivals. I guess Captain N already cornered the market on the good video game stars (and Kid Icarus).
@gundato: The most recent Fire Pro? You can use Team Edit to move default and DLC wrestlers to the "Retired" section. I don't think that will affect story modes, but it should keep them from showing up everywhere else.
As for new players, they recently added a different newbie experience that introduces your class mechanics and abilities more gradually. That runs till Level 10, at which point you're able to level up within any previous expansion until you unlock Shadowlands content at around Level 50. (Though if you haven't played the game in a while, it may default you to leveling through Battle for Azeroth zones instead.)
I will be that person who will admit that they kinda like the tempered glass and RPG LED trend of PC builds today. It's fun looking inside, seeing the fans spin, and have some lights flashing about on all the components. Though, maybe that's the cause of me hanging around too long in a computer store where they have to sell all these things from Corsair and Razer.
I'm right there with you. In my case I think it's because I was introduced to RGB stuff through Techtubers/influencers who exercised some restraint--coming up with a design or theme and using the lighting to accentuate that, rather than just throwing in RGB everything and creating a rainbow bukkake inside their case.
I must be a pretty jaded Transformer collector if the $250 MP Starscream doesn't rate as "really expensive" to me, but in my defense, they did put out a $450 MP Optimus Prime recently.
And since we're ranking Seekers: Skywarp has the best color scheme, but IDW's Thundercracker (a.k.a. Super Robot Lifeform Tommy Wiseau) has the best personality.
The GB crew talking Transformers wasn't something I thought I needed this morning, but I'm happy to have it. Also, the whole Jetfire/Skyfire thing was a licensing issue. The toy was based on the Macross Valkyrie, which was owned by Bandai, which meant that Takara couldn't sell it when they brought the toyline to Japan. Even renaming the character and changing his appearance on the cartoon wasn't enough.
Regarding the (mis)use of the term "anime" these days, my favorite example is Castlevania: Written by a British guy, animated by an American studio, and starring a multinational cast of actors. I'm halfway tempted to start busting out "Japanimation" again like back in the day to talk about anime actually from, you know, Japan.
