[@genyakozlov1316]

@@KodyCrimson Cyberverse did the status quo better than any other series, giving all Decepticons much character depth, even to those they didn't plan to do anything with. There is nothing it was "plagued" by except the short runtime of both the episodes and the show itself, or the low budget which made the planned multiversal crossovers impossible.

RiD Steeljaw is a great villain and I sincerely hope we'll see more of him in the future. Also, say what you want, but the designs of the animal-decepticons in RiD were amazing.

[@nil981]

I generally dislike the designs of rid 2015 decepticons. They're basically metal furries that are a far cry from the originals.

[@ltb1345]

The designs were hit or miss. Steeljaw and Scorponok were the only ones who the "anthro animal" look really worked for, since the former was like a werewolf and the latter was, well, Scorponok. Kickback adopting a vehicle mode while keeping the advantages of his bug form was interesting, but even then his design paled in comparison to his FOC design.

[@fennekin1750]

I can see Hasbro just remolding siege Ravage into Steeljaw, if they were feeling lazy

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

As a kid the cassettes were always my favorites, which is why Soundwave was my favorite. I liked his ability to deploy smaller bots when ever he liked and was disappointed that his Autobot counterpart didn't seem to have any. I recall making up some for him as a kid, but knowing me they were likely recolor clones of Soundwave's group. I was surprised to see Blaster suddenly have some in the movie. It's too bad this ability has largely fallen by the wayside in recent adaptations, since cassettes have become obsolete. These days Soundwave largely is only able to deploy Laser Beak. I can't remember the last time I saw Blaster. It was likely some bit part in Animated.

[@ltb1345]

They should be brought back as futuristic data disks, like in the Cybertron games.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

One thing that was very weird about the G1 Steeljaw toy (shown at 0:21) was that his cassette sticker was designed backwards. There's clearly what's meant to be a lion's mane on the left side of the sticker, but it should've been on the right side to line up with where the toy's head actually is. On the subject of the animal microcassette Transformers speaking, I do remember Ramhorn speaking, but I don't remember if Steeljaw ever did. And Ravage spoke in only one G1 episode, while in cassette mode, when being played back by Soundwave. (At least I THINK it was supposed to be Ravage speaking. As it is a cassette being played back, you would think it would be a recorded voice, but it is not a recording of any of the other characters in the show.) I think they ALL could speak in the Japanese dub of the US show and the subsequent Japanese exclusive continuations.

[@BWxEclipse]

Steeljaw went from a lion who turns into a cassette, to changing species to a dog, then again into a wolf creature, and finally to a furry. What a fate.

[@HanaHime29]

Love love LOVE Steeljaw in RiD! ❤️ Wished we could have more backstory though...what if the reason for Steeljaw's rebellion was to speak up about the social injustice within the Decepticon community, especially Cons with animalistic features like him. He along with other members of his pack doesn't look like regular Cons like Starscream, etc. and were perhaps targets of discrimination. Which could be why he wanted to create a utopia for Decepticons to live peacefully without the fear of robot racism.

[@elizabethcoen]

I even came with a headcanon for RID Steeljaw: In addition to howling like the wolf he is, Steeljaw also makes whimpering and whining noises whenever he's hurt, feeling sad, or begging for something.

[@chrisneustaedter6788]

If I were to write a new Transformers series, I would make Steeljaw a resident of the Jungle Planet, give him a beast mode, and make him the leader of the Predacons.

Imagine as a plot twist, it's revealed that both the Autobot and the Decepticon versions of Steeljaw are actually the same character but in different bodies, with the Autobot version of Sreeljaw defecting to the Decepticons when he apparently 'died' and becoming the Decepticon Steeljaw...?

[@ltb1345]

Steeljaw was the best new villain in RID, but Autobot Steeljaw is easily my favorite of Blaster's cassette-bots. Golden lions are always cool. I'd say let the Decepticon keep the name, but bring back the cassette-bot with a different name, like maybe "Goldclaw".

I would love to see a few more appear in some other transformers projects. They stand out a lot I was flicking through the idw comic and before I even knew who they were I saw this red transformer that looked like a furry and was like "that is very interesting and cool" they work well as a that's something you don't see every day and I don't know if it's the furry in me but I can't help but find them just a little cute especially when they do the funny faces.

[@gojirafan0577]

It was mainly because it was supposed to be a sequel series to prime a show that is arguably the best transformers show of all time (although I personally prefer animated but that’s just me) and that it just pailed in comparison with the series having more lighthearted and goofy moments (I’d arguably say the comedy is a bit teen titans go like) and that non of the characters had any development I will admit tho there was some parts of the show I did really like for example I loved the idea of what the series was going for with bumblebee teaming up with a rag tag team of autobots after being exiled from cybertron and now they have to go up against a team of rogue decepticons I honestly think it could have been a just a good as prime if it took itself more seriously and didn’t rely on the monster of the week type of plot and I will admit I do think the animation is very good I mean it’s bright,it’s colourful, it’s a nice mix between cgi and cell shading at least it wasn’t like energon’s animation or cybertron’s animation they actually did put in some effort into it

[@LordProteus]

People hate RiD for a mixture of the following reasons. 1. Downgraded Art and animation quality from Prime. 2. Cartoony, childish, goofy aesthetics and characters. 3. Cartoony, childish, goofy storylines and episodes. 4. The Decepticons are stupid looking Animals and Monsters now for some reason. 5. Character assassination of Optimus Prime. 6. Just generally bad and inconsistent writing. Contradicts events from Prime. Optimus Prime does not need training, this is the same Optimus from TF Prime and a Veteran Faction Leader of a millions-years long war. Overall a totally unworthy successor to Transformers Prime. If it was it's own thing copletely indipdenant from Transformers Prime, several of those listed reasons may have been nullified, but that wasn't the case.

While it may be still up in the air, I think it is fair to say RID Steeljaw outshines the G1 Cassettibot. Whereas, that version of Steeljaw was more of a "beast former", RID Steeljaw had a lot more flair and appeal because he had more personality to him. Not to mention he has a brother and a sister , which G1 Bot didn't have, and add to the fact the only time he showed up was to be bait in the WFC Trilogy.....I think it is pretty clear RID Steeljaw will eventually outshine his predecessor. With Animated? It was Bulkhead. With the Live Action Films? It was Barricade. With Prime? It was Knockout. And with RID '15? It's Steeljaw. Not a matter of if, only when.

I’m thinking of my own version of steeljaw who was born as a normal transformer, but got a wolf upgrade later, he leads a crew of Decepticons who he names his pack and his greatest rival is ironhide.
