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.

[@YeldellGW]

G1 Steeljaw for me. I’m a sucker for the cassettes and other Transformers that aren’t the norm when it comes to alt modes. They tend to stand out more.

[@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.

[@mindwipe8788]

I prefer the lion cassette version myself and see him as Ravage’s rival and I would love it if he and Nightstalker were getting Legacy versions.

[@bilal_Hadjlaoui907]

the best steeljaw was he appeared for about hmmm a second in siege and he was already dead and suck in cassette mod,truly the greatest

[@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.

[@jackthedragon612]

Robots in Disguise Steeljaw is my favourite version of the character chiefly because he is a good character and a great villain for the show.

[@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.

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.

[@cyberprime9355]

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.

[@ltb1345]

That's why I hope they bring back the cassett-bot, but with a different name.

[@firewarrior8298]

Say what you will about RID 2015, but it was nice to see a main group of decepticon villains that didn’t include any of the big four (Megatron , Starscream, Soundwave, Shockwave) I feel like dreadwing was another example from prime outshining his predecessor

[@echosclassroom1830]

I like to think that Steeljaw got destroyed at some time, leading to the Decepticons to put him in a new body (AKA his RID body), wiping his memories out. Thus Steeljaw was now a full-fledged Decepticon. At least that's my headcanon.

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.

Topic idea: Pull-back motors. There were a number of toys with this gimmick in the early years (Topspin/Twin Twist, Battlechargers, Throttlebots, Power Masters) often combined with automorphing, but the motors have pretty much disappeared from what I know of more recently.

the gimmick limited very much what a bot could do, with the average transformers toy having at the very least the same baseline articulation of a powermaster, it become impossible to fit them in and having a working transformers; with the age of gimmick, spreading from armada to the second film serie of toy, priority as given to other gimmicks in the mianlines, and the pullback was relegated to smaller, cheaper toys, and later full on phased out to the complexity of setting it up

In my Transformers fanfiction, I'll go with the G1 Steeljaw. He needs a better comeback.

I don't see why these two different depictions couldn't be blend together in some new interpretation of the character. Let's say Steeljaw originally appered up as an intelligent, cunning and charming Lion cassette, serving under command of Blaster in years before and during The Great War. Although he had good position as a spy/hunter, he always hated that everyone was treating him as little more then a trained animal due to his robot mode. Sick of this constant mistreatment, after the end of the War, he turned to the Council of Cybertron, and got them to recreate his body into something reminiscent of his RiD design. Now acting as a Council's agent (Beast Wars Ravage style) at day, all while leading an underground rebellion at night. Fully embracing his animal theme, while also demonstrating that he's capable of so much more. (Ha, now that I think about it, this sounds kinda like Tyler Durden from "Fight Club")

RiD 2015 is a mixed bag for me. (Suddenly all the Decepticons are animals?) But I wouldn't be too surprised if eventually the G1 Steeljaw ends up getting a name change.

And the fact that that show is in the aligned continuity and is after prime names it alot harder to get by and when it first premiered I was excited at first but then I git bored of the show and it's lackluster action

[@RDPendleton]

It's wild that G1 Steeljaw has a whole Masterpiece mold, and they gave it to Nightstalker.

SG Steeljaw has appeared as one of the C.O.M.B.A.T. bots in the "Transformers: Earth Wars" mobile game. Matter of fact, none of the original four cassettes have made it into the game yet.
