I wonder what they mean by harkenning back to G1 - in terms of storylines, robot designs, character depth (or lack thereof on occasion :)).

This is good news though!

Always worries me, when new transformers are becoming more simpler to transform and someone saying "the transformations are much simpler". I hope the lines of toys don't all turn into the leader classes being some over sized legends class. That stems from this sort of thing.

[Gofigure]

Was actually thinking simpler transformation was a good thing. I find the newer stuff waaaaaayyy too complicated these days. Even the figs marketed to children.

Transformation for me when I was I kid was an means to an end and done very quickly to get on with the ensuing play and battles ;)

Can't wait to see more details

I'll just be happy if when they say 'harkening back to G1' they mean:

A: Big armies on both sides - enough of this 'small plucky band of Autobots' vs 'Few Decepticon big guys with a disposable, identical cannon-fodder army' crap.

B: The characters seem to enjoy themselves. Half the time the Autobots in G1 seemed like they were pretty damn happy and were off to have a good brawl alongside their mates - they were saving the world and thought it was pretty cool! And Prime used to laugh now and then - remember that? Enough of Mr. Stoic - give us a leader who would be fun to have a beer/energon cube with after the fight!
