1. In the TV show he was the *ONLY* TF to have two animation models make it to production. HE LITERALLY HAS TWO HEADS AND BODIES INHE SAME GARD DANG SERIES!
2. His toy sucks. As the animation shows, you basically are turning a boat upside down and pretending it is a plane. For some reason he beat out the other triplechanger which was a Copter/Plane/Robot.
3. The character... is just some total swill. He is sea-sick and afraid of heights... Great that he is a BOAT and a PLANE. Why not make a GUN TF that is a pacifist or a conservationist TF that transforms into a HUMMER SUV?
4. He even sucks in the comics... Nothing about him is any good.
So here you go!!! LOSER BROADSIDE ANIMATED! He is a cross between Dreamwave (GOOD) character design and animated alt modes. And he even wears a LOSER broadside mask for Halloween!
It really isn't a terrible animation... considering the character design he is based on!
What I don't understand is why they would recycle the 'scared of heights plane guy' thing. Silverbolt was already a plane that was afraid of heights. Not to mention he's either a really huge jet or a tiny aircraft carrier; I mean...you can't transform from a boat into something that said boat can carry a whole army's worth of on top of it. Although Astrotrain managed to change his size every once in a while, I guess maybe Broadside could too.
/rant Great animation though, you'd have no idea he was such a loser just by watching this.
Plus he's big enough to pwn your face off.
