It probably wouldn't be anywhere near as successful. Zoids would probably be the big TOMY IP in the west.If this were to happen they wouldn't be called 'Autobots' anymore. But I think it would be interesting if they had pilots. I don't think it would be as successful.
Depends on the desired Narrative, and the theming of the product line.Would the pilots be the typical teenagers we usually see or actual pilots.
Transforming is kinda a core part of the concept though.Would these mechs still transform into their other respective vehicles? Or would they just be in the main battle form?
I like.How about the Decepticons corrupt their Pilots? Controlling one pushes you toward the Dark Side.
Could be cool.The story would likely follow a young Sam Witwicky as he learns to be a pilot, deals with his parents and impress the beautiful but mysterious girl from his class All while dodging both the government and the evil robots.
IDK. It could be some weird partially mental thing, with limited controls, or he could just be the sort of geek who plays Virtual On and Steel Battalion way too much. Or both.Whose teaching him to pilot if he's running from the gov.
Or, it could be the Mysterious Girl from his class.
