Watching Transformers G1 was amazing, especially to see the subtle differences to mannerisms compared to then and now. The ‘oh wow’ moment for me was when I noticed that everyone were speaking to their wrists when using comms, which is reminiscent of Dick Tracy and early James Bond movies with the wrist watches. But in TFP/RID15 and probably TFA as well, we get the “fingers to the ear” gesture as technology has evolved and miniature radio equipment is now in our ears instead of small gadgets.
Do you think that mean you can identify how old a mech is by watching how he uses his comms? Like, older models like Ironhide or Ratchet talking to their wrists while newly build ones like the Aerialbots speak with the ‘fingers to the the air’ gesture?
