Why is the Ark now a Caramac bar?

Noooo! The Ark has crashed in someone's garden! Which means the robots inside will be rebuilt after their slumber to disguise themselves as common garden plants. And let it be known as 'Garden Wars'! Robot modes would look like robotic garden gnomes of course. |

Must be Botanica's ship, then.

Must be Botanica's ship, then. I don't understand that reference (I couldn't find a gif). Is than an obscure Japanese Cartoon reference? |

She came home from school with a big bag of sweets. |

tfwiki.net/wiki/Botanica_(BM)Botanica mirrors Primal and the Axalon. She had a crew and was sent out on an exploration mission. But where as the Axalon landed on a planet where animals were the dominant fauna, her ship landed on a planet where plants were the dominant fauna. They returned to Cybertron only to fall victim to Megatron and his transformation virus, just as Primal's crew had. She was introduced in the second half of Beast Machines season 2.

Hey! My instincts served me well! I had a feeling it was to do with an obscure Japanese Cartoon!
The Beast Wars cartoon was Japanese, right?

Beast Wars wasn't. Neither is Beast Machines which Botanica is in

Beast Wars Neo and Beast Wars II were Japanese cartoons, Shockprowl. So (sort of) was Beast Wars Returns.

Thanks guys, thanks for trying to make me feel better. But Phil's already humiliated and crushed me.
I'll just go back to..... '84.... '85.....

You are aware that '84 ties directly into Beast Wars?

Errrm, no. I mean, I've seen snippets, but...
What, it's like a sequel or something?

It's a sequel AND a prequel. It also has THE ARK in it.

You know, instead of making Scorponok's head look oversized, that makes the art look like a pinhead

Think they're still a few weeks out on Pulse.. This is fine, everything is fine. Envy. To be fair, I only decided to chuck in a preorder yesterday which generally tends to mean 'oh you expected that this week? no no no, you've pre-ordered from our *second* batch. Yours is due in... February'. I wouldn't usually pre-order bigguns, but Star are still doing Rodimus and the Ark at the original prices with free postage and knowing there's been a hike since then, I can imagine any restocks the online sellers get will go up in price rather than down. That £160 on the Ark at Smyths is a bit frightening. As is £93 for Rodimus. What the hell!? |

ID have pretty much always been great, the price of Rodimus now is crazy, I was going to wait for a second hand one but when all the prices started going up I got one at the old price
