Wow, a 7 Eleven Slurpee hasn't tasted this good since the time they promoted the Super Mario Bros. movie

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

I wish there was a 7/11 here, I want a slurpee :(

According to google map there's one at 204 Barnesville St, Thomaston, GA 30286 and it's approx an hour from you.



Just sayin'. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_smiley-indifferent.gif

I don't want it that bad

I submitted your picture for the front page of TFW2005, let's see if they use it

I got a better one. How about the new Nougabot Bar

snickers sucks

And I say this with all due respect, you suck.

snickers is for gay men that love a mouth full of nuts





























man nuts

I know you are, but what am I?

I AM RUBBER YOU ARE GLUE

WHATEVER YOU SAY BOUNCES OFF ME AND STICKS TO YOU

ktulubro

i meant to tell you my daughter likes to watch he-man

is this awesome?

This is the extent of their marketing genius, eh?

Nougabot.

Nougbot would be better.

I am learning about Kiss players from Zipdisk. lololol

They played the ancient superbowl trailer for ROTF at Terminator Salvation. Weird.

how was terminator?

FFS is not a safe place for opinions :o

lol

Extreme marketing. On premiere day I bet Michael Bay's gonna pop out and blow the fucking thing up

Oh lawd~

It'd be great for some old woman flying in to look out the window, see the mean looking giant robot and freak the hell out

I hope the Baymeister enjoys having her unfortunate death on his soul!

I like that. Almost as solid as Longhaul. Sorta.

Kind of. I feel the proportions are a little wacky, but it's better than Demolishor, Rampage, and Mudflap fo sho

I made a Cyber Raptor from Uni Dinobutt:

Also, new movie leader prime makes old leader prime look like shit.

They have that stuck in front of the Animated stuff like it doesn't matter?

:(

They have that stuck in front of the Animated stuff like it doesn't matter?

:(

if they do that at one of my local stores I will be tempted to vandalize.

Looking at Animated toys is a shopping highlight for me.

It is a visual metaphor for the raping that has occured~

I still haven't picked up Bulkhead. :notgood:

FOR SHAME!

I still haven't picked up Bulkhead. :notgood:

You know we blame it all on you now, right? Your one purchase of Bulkhead could've fixed EVERYTHING

THERE COULD HAVE BEEN 10 SEASONS OF ANIMATED BUT YOU HAD TO BUY 500 OF THOSE STRAW THINGS.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

Also, new movie leader prime makes old leader prime look like shit.


which is funny because any other version of optimus ever makes that one look like shit =(

I like Movie Prime more than any other Prime, tbh :o

The one for ROTF is much more screen accurate. The first movie prime is like its own beast, and I lurve it.

My favorite Prime, not counting the Masterpiece one who has an unfair advantage of bad assery, is either the Classics or Cybertron one.

Looking at the two movie leader Primes up there, they each have certain aspects that match the real vehicle better than the other. One thing - ROTF Prime's blue is too bright. I'm sure the million Premium repaints will fix it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IURl0_Dqy8A#t=3m10s

The random kid squealing in Peaugh's videos make them abstractly fucking hilarious

Oh shi~

I wonder if the spider egg is in this one. Let's find out, kids!

My favorite Prime, not counting the Masterpiece one who has an unfair advantage of bad assery, is either the Classics or Cybertron one.

I'm also very fond of the three main Animated ones. Earth mode delxue is crazy bad ass. If only it didn't have the battle damage...

Also, G1 Powermaster Prime is good times. And G2 Hero...and Laser Prime. And Armada deluxe Prime. Ok, a lot of them are pretty damn good in general.

Might've gotten it lanced. I can't tell, the video is pretty shite quality.

But, kudos for not just sticking Jetfire on Opty's back. That's a pretty involved combination.

I don't know, other than going on his back it doesn't do much else but become shoulder pads and a belt. Optimus' arms, legs, chest, and head remain pretty much the same. It could've been a little more involved. At least make some leg armor.

They connect at the feets. The true hallmark of a involved combination :smrt:

lol. I totally read your comment on the video after I posted that.

I never did finish my custom painted Prime. This is about how far I got.

Shiny :D

Click that for one of the best TF videos evar

FYI just got back from the near future, found a bunch of movie Devastator's at Target:

2.48?

Wait, why does that say Scavenger instead of Demolisher?

2.48?

Tis joke. It is assumed it will shelf warm due to the 100 dollar price tag and go on deep clearance cos suck

I have no idea about the name, that character has flip flopped on Demolishor/Scavenger several times. From the ROTF novel spoilers I read, perhaps they're two different versions of the same thing

Here's an observation that can only be replied to with "god damn it!!!!"

God damn it Neg



Also, I'm looking forward to making another video, much like my first, after RotF comes out.

Does this mean you have watched Beast Wars now? ^_^

Still haven't seen every episode. I've been thinkin bout stealin it off da internets

Have added more stuff to my sale thread. Willing to offer FFS friends bad ass deals as always :)

You bought Crisis Core o_O

If I hadn't spent a bunch of money lately I would have grabbed the PSP. Oh wait, fickle screen. l2read Neg :o :o :o

Crisis Core was a gift actually

Interesting.

why

Was it from that girl from next door?

Nope. A gift from the store I stole it from

Ok that's exaggerated. I'm no thief. Usually. Maybe.

Neg so are you all caught up on Animated episodes or whaaaat

No :(

I didn't mean to be a dick. I was just trying to be funny. Guess the HATE VII thing is played out.

God damn it Neg

oh man

i was looking at usb ravage and i want it

its gotta be like 70 bucks for me to get it here though

I read something about availability for TF stuff in general going up there soon or something

Man selling shit online is a horrifying experience. You can spell out every detail and people still ask the dumbest questions. I've gotten a ton of people wanting this or that and they immediately drop out too. Fuuuuuck. Why tell someone you want something if you're going to just say nevermind two minutes later?

hey ktulubro i will buy everything you have listed

owait nevrmind

I picked up the movie adaptation comic at Target today. Here's a nice pic from it.

Big size ()

also get beast machines

no no do not do this also it is very bad

Looking forward to the new June 2009 release

Neg will know these Youtube reviewer names: Kalel Prime has told me $35 to ship a toy is too much - even though my sale thread spells it out that the prices I have down...are for the toys and their shipping combined. BikertrashWolf had to ask me...what the name of a toy was. Even though, you know, the names of the toys are all right above their pictures.

What the fuck is so hard about simply READING a thread?

Please, one of you look at that thread, read it and tell me what I've done wrong that's making it so god damn hard to understand.

chris, I don't think your thread can get any more clear without using stick figures. I'm gonna chop it up as everyone else being a retard.




Just sayin'.

Who's excited about the new movie?

Dave's so crazy (yes, I'll call him Dave if I want).

I must have a curse on me. This is an exact transcript of a PM conversation I'm having with someone at TFW2005::

How do I purchase the items?
Do you have a PayPal account?
Yes.
Ok. Which toys do you want?
Prowl and Tracks
Ok is this price *insert monay figure* ok with you?
Yes please.
Alright then, thanks! My paypal email is......
Ok. So how do I pay?

This is pretty neat (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generation-1-1/generation-1-perceptor-and-insecticons-to-be-re-issued-as-toys-r-us-exclusives-167724/)

if only you preferred beast machines to sexual abuse




if only

I don't think I can be objective about Beast Machines, because I think Beast Wars is SO GOOD, and I've always compared it to that.

But

I am kind of with TK on this one. :(

There were some good toys, though.

they are different kinds of great

they are different kinds of great

Did you watch them when they aired? I think that might be the difference, they got rid of Beast Wars to make room for Beast Machines, so I always held that against it.

I didn't want to watch Beast Machines because I thought the toys were so ugly :( It was a pretty dumb reason really. I'd watch it now. I think I saw part of one episode after school once

Well the show is as ugly as most of the toys.

I really did give it an honest chance though, I watched most of Season 1 and while I thought it was very very ugly, it was the writing that offended me most. I thought they pretty much ruined every character. None of them were written properly and it just seemed like the new writers took a few aspects of their personality and made totally different characters out of them. I also kind of resented the fact that they used Transformers for some kind of "let's save the environment, kids!" BS and went on this whole THINGS MUST BE NATURAL crusade in the story. It was like uh howabout I just get a really well written sci fi story like Beast Wars. =(

Then there was the lame FIND YOUR SUPER POWERS WITHIN YOURSELF type crap, changing Megatron from a crafty and ingenious mastermind villain to a slapstick angry world domination guy and ugh. I could go on.

Am I the only one who liked some Beast Machine toys? :(



THAT WAS AWESOME OKAY

I don't dislike all of them at all, but the ones that are bad are bad

Hello Silverbolt

Am I the only one who liked some Beast Machine toys? :(



THAT WAS AWESOME OKAY

I don't like Blackarachnia at all, but there were some good ones.

Battle Unicorn was awesome.

My Battle Unicorn has a lot of bits that fall off too easily. Looks cool though

"The Touch" is now officially up for download for Guitar Hero: World Tour for free. (Not the 2009 version).

This is of no use to me but I am sure someone here will want to rock out.

Creepy guitar guy from the new one is clearly going to be voted Man of the Year

I wonder what news we'll get at


I hope it's not shit like "SO THE NEXT CARTOON IS BASED ON THE MOVIE" and what not :( Will know by Saturday

What the hell? (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/revenge-of-the-fallen-ejector-images-167746/)

Picked up Leader Prime and Megs, Voyager Starscream and Deluxe BB and Sideswipe. And unless the constructicons can be combined, I have no interest in the other figures.


just sayin'.

What the hell? (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/revenge-of-the-fallen-ejector-images-167746/)

it's like they're just TRYING to suck now.

Botcon Animated news: Series Officially done.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck, I was really hoping their silence on the matter till now was going to be a positive. Knowing Hasbro gets it's own cartoon channel next year just makes it seem like even more of a blow, they could've easily continued it there if they had cared.

And yeah TK I don't get that toy. Nothing about it says "Transformers." Sure, it changes from one thing to the next, but that is not unique to this line by any means, it's the characters and the style that make it what it is. That thing looks like some Ghostbusters ghost or something.

I went to Target and Wal-Mart today to see if the new toys were out. Target I was looking forward to as I wanted the Superion exclusive, but no luck, they had no ROTF stuff out at all. Wal-Mart was stocking when I got there, waited till they finished so I got to see it all freshly on the shelves. I looked at each one. Didn't feel the urge to buy any of em.

The scouts are nearing 10 dollars now. Fuck.

I think I'm pretty much done with this. I need to cut way down spending money on things I don't need and this definitely falls under that category. Now that the movie seems to be inundating things more and more, and I'm satisfied with what I have of the most recent Universe wave, I think it's a good stopping place.

I kinda like da toaster.

Now that the movie seems to be inundating things more and more, and I'm satisfied with what I have of the most recent Universe wave, I think it's a good stopping place.

I've always liked TFs and I don't think anything will mess it up as a whole for me. If I don't like direction A there's always direction B to look into. I didn't like Beast Machines, but RiD came around and I loved those toys. I didn't like Armada's toys, but Energon's were better, and then the Cybertron ones were way better which lead into the wonderful Classics. I didn't dig the movie so much but then...Animated and more Classics came about which ended up really resonating with me. Who knows what might come somewhere down the road after ROTF.

I'd like to think maybe they have plans for something not related to the movie still. Rehauling it completely and never going back isn't Hasbro's style. Over the last 10-15 years they've still continually revisited G1, they did a 10th anniversary Beast Wars line, Universe had Beast Wars and Armada figures made for it, and while a new take - Animated ended up the biggest fanwank ever in the franchise. I think in some form they'll keep the long standing fans in mind - maybe not just yet, but eventually.

Of course, I'm certainly not going to buy toys I don't like anymore and be blindly loyal for the hell of it, but I'll still follow what's up with it and see if it goes in directions I'm into. Plus, there's so much of the history always untapped, x amount of comics I haven't read yet, x amount of episodes of this or that series I didn't catch, mass amounts of unfound toys to seek out good deals for, etc.

You know how you really love Beast Wars? For a lot of people, it was way too big a change from G1/G2 and they feel about that the way you feel about say Beast Machines, the movie, or Animated, you know? With all the different takes, it's easy to get really attached to one or two and hate the rest, but I don't think it means you have to be done with it as a whole.

It's more just that I don't think I should be spending money on this anymore and now is a good time to quit because there is currently nothing I want.

Which totally makes sense. It's essentially what I'm doing as well. I don't currently see myself buying any ROTF toys, and I doubt I'll be buying much older things online since I'm currently trying to sell a bunch of the stuff that's just been laying around here. There are a few holes here and there I want to fill but it'll be a very casual thing at best. I'm trying to work on bettering my overall situation in life and I know buying less toys will help.

I just wanted to basically say I hope you could still perhaps be into a Beast Wars episode or enjoy the remaining toys you have rather than swear it all off entirely because of other parts of the franchise. No matter how many Michael Bay movies and corresponding spindly monster/alien figures come out, it won't keep me from loving the rest at all.

Oh yeah, I mean, I'm never going to stop loving Transformers. And I may even do something like focus on just building a collection of Hod Rod/Rodimus stuff. Eventually, if I am more financially comfortable at some point.

Ah a lot of people do that. They have an Optimus shelf or a Starscream shelf and that's it. Would certainly be easier on the wallet than trying to get numerous series "completed."

I've had the thought of just sticking with a Classics/Universe collection and getting rid of everything else, but I don't know. Just sticking to selling the sealed stuff for now.

Sell me the micro-master Roddy, Ktulu. I'll thumbwrestle TK for it.

That's one of the few Hot Rod/Rodimus things I don't have. I do have the reissue G1 Rod and Rodimus toys up for grabs though, I guess you guys probably have them in some form though

The coolest thing I have is the Choro-Q one, it's hilarious.

I saw the Metalforce one is on sale somewhere online right now, but even on sale it's fucking 90 dollars :mad:

I thought you did have StarConvoy?

And yes, I have my original Roddys.

I have the Choro-Q one as well! My favorite Roddy thing I have is this though:

<img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b359/alabasterperapets/newnewyay037.jpg>

I actually do not have the G1 guys. They're too ugly for me. =(

G1 is too ugly for you.....

Oh my. :p

You ARE stuck between a rock and a hard place.

MyClones are like the one TF line I have none of. Crazy. Wreck-Gar would be theeee one to get for me, the way you can pull them apart is perfect for him.

A lot of G1 toys do feel weird but I know for the time they were about as good as they could be. I kind of like the retro vibe. Only big thing for me is the stickers make them tacky a lot of the time, but if you don't put em on - they're then too plain. It's also too bad most didn't have a way to store their weapons in alt mode. I guess the trade there is that at least the weapons really looked like weapons rather than random vehicle bits or animal asses with a missile sticking out :o

Tail whipssssssssss

Maybe this will be new to some of you:




That's the original unreleased G1 Unicron. Pretty fugly, hilarious Dr. Robotnik gut, but damn, pretty big :o I've never seen any photo that showed it's actual size before.

hah, wow. That is huge alright. And ugly as all get out. Good thing they waited for Armada. X_X

There was also a second failed attempt. They were gonna make one for Beast Wars Neo that was looking pretty decent, but still not quite as good as the Armada one:



Can't really recall why that one didn't make it.

Look what was found at the grocery store:

Botcon Animated news: Series Officially done.

I read on /co/ they confirmed that it'd be continued in comics, though! It will be so sad the first time I check out the Transformers section and don't see a single Animated toy, but I'm glad the writers will get to finish their story. I haven't read any of the Animated comics yet, there've been a few so far, right?

Not quite Transformers related but I've basically stopped buying toys too. I just look longingly right now. I don't have room for them, and as much as I like the things that I get, they're mostly boxed up in a closet, and that's just sad.

I have one pony and my TFA Bumblebee on my desk right now, and that's it. Don't plan on selling anything yet- I am holding out the hope that when we move again, I'll have room for everything and new stuff too. I don't want to be a person who doesn't get toys anymore.

At the IDW panel this morning they said the Animated continuation is just "in talks" so far. There will be an Animated Almanac published in August though, with a lot of bios and even concept art from the original show pitch back when it was called "Heroes."

Do you have any shelving BEARDED PRINCESS? That's the main thing that's kept me from displaying things properly, no real place to put any shelves in here. My bed used to talk almost all the space in here as well. I recently got rid of it just to make room for things - as I sleep on the couch anyway. I am Neg's hero for that.

You're my hero for many more reasons than that, my friend <3

Ah. The thread I saw it in is gone now, but they said something about it staying alive in comics thanks to the UK? Obviously Botcon's the more reliable source, though.

I don't have shelving. I've wanted to hang shelves up on the walls forever, but it's against the terms of my lease. We have the shelves dvds and games are on, but that's overfull already. We could maybe make room for one of those nice clear standing shelves, but that still leaves a lot of stuff in closets.

We do have huge windowsills stuff could go on, but I'm afraid it'd bleach stuff out.

Yeah I guess if you can find light (not heavy for when you move) standing shelves that'd be the best option. Some places have cheap ones, like 4-5 tiers for 13 dollars that can hold 150 pounds per shelf and things like that.

The window would definitely lead to yellowing or fading on the toys. Though, too much time stored away can too depending on the temperature! It's really hot and humid here. I recently got out my RiD Optimus Prime, and even though it's been in a box for the longest time, the white parts are now a little bit yellow :(

Peaugh is right, googling Nexus Maximus is worth the price of admission.

Rundown of the Hasbro toy panel from today:

Toys R Us Exclusives -

Reissue G1 Insecticons
Reissue G1 Perceptor

Will all have vac metal. Perceptor won't have his missile launcher

RotF Battle Pack, Blue Movie Soundwave, Movie 1 Voyager Megs
Titanium Hot Zone (Hot Spot), Optimus, Thrust

Wal-Mart Exclusives -

Masterpiece Skywarp, closer to the original G1 toy than Takara's

Target Exclusives -

"Burning" movie Fallen

ANIMATED -

Remaining toys will be released, Hasbro will make every effort, timing TBD. Some may end up as store exclusives or filter into the next Universe line

Confirmed releases:
Electrostatic Soundwave with Ratbat
Arcee
Rodimus
Ratchet (Cybertron Mode)
Ironhide will be made from the above mold, with new head
Wasp - Earth mode, Bumblebee repaint, named Fugitive Waspinator
Goldfire Grimlock
Hydrodive Bumblebee
Freeway Jazz
Blackout
Wingblade Prime - deluxe Optimus with wings, gauntlets and Magnus hammer that turn into a trailer. Ends up voyager sized.
Voyager Thundercracker (to complete the typical trio)

Animated toys will continue to have Animated packaging - for the short term anyway

Animated Activators Fireblast Grimlock and Soundwave will be coming out, not saying when

No plans to make Female Starscream, her name is confirmed as Slipstream.
Animated Omega Supreme - wanted to do him and others who don't have toys, Constructicons for example, decided it was not the best time to do them.

Universe Cyclonus means no Animated Cyclonus

Universe/Classics -

Classics/Universe will be back in 2010 - at least in deluxe scale.

Red Powerglide, IDW Hardhead from ultra Onslaught, and G2 Skyjack from Silverbolt will be TRU exclusive repaints in the near future.

Upcoming movie Bludgeon (voyager class) will fit in with Universe

Drift toy - "come back tomorrow"

MP Grimlock - if an opportunity comes up, he'll get brought out in the US. They plan to try to release him in the next 18 months, details are sketchy

No immediate plans for more G1 Robot Heroes

No plans for Citybots

Henkei Red Alert - not coming to the US

Sunstorm is still a possibility but no specific plans

Universe line is well liked by the Hasbro team, because it is an opportunity to keep doing different characters. Does a lot for Hasbro, when Universe stops it is because they've got a lot of other stuff going on, not because it is unpopular.

Won't be doing repaints for the sake of repaints, no more full line of repaints, will be mixed with new toys, and will have a story behind them

ROTF stuffs -

RotF Legends Wheelie, Soundwave
Scout Breakdown, G1 style deco apparently
Skystalker, Scout class, based on a drone plane
Scattorshot, Scout, little minesweeper / tank, twin rifles. Meant to fight Skystalker

Movieverse Lockdown, will be a Deluxe class, looks a lot like Animated Lockdown
Deluxe class Ratchet
Deluxe Dirge (conehead, harrier jump jet)

Voyager Ironhide redeco, new weapons, bumper turns into crossbow
Voyager Bludgeon, tank, samurai robot mode, huge sword, orange body, red helmet, green tank orange robot - apparently made like a Universe toy

Human Alliance Barricade with Frenzy. Frenzy can hold twin guns

Ice Cream twins - they decided it was so weird that they had to do it. Same as toaster bot

Third Arcee bike will get made, will be a redeco but different from the others
RotF bikes - toys will be able to combine, apparently the combining was dropped from the Movie

Devastator - individual robot modes not possible because of the cost involved, to make them all look as good as they cold, to hold together, to be playable, to be a lot of fun. Wanted the individuals to be the best possible toys without the combining feature pulling them down

Will not necessarily be seeing every character in Devastator as an individual character

Legends Devastator will be a store exclusive in Spring 2010

Devastator is made of 6-7 Constructicons. He's formed by however many Constructicons are around. So 6 and 7 members are both accurate!

Springer will probably not get a mainline toy, you have probably seen all the toys of him already. Character is not actually in the film.


Next Cartoon -

stated it will be of Animated's quality

Other toys/General -

Alternity - not coming to US, Takara has a deal with Nissan that Hasbro is not a part of.

No plans to release Mighty Muggs Shockwave and Jazz at this time, but they'll try to find a home for them

Price rises, put up the costs rather than make the toys smaller - if they'd kept the cost the same the toys would have been 75% of the size

Robot mode packaging depends on the character - robot modes are used when it is felt it might sell the product better / present it better on the shelves.

Fan made products (FansProject and stuff) - love them for doing things that they generally would not do, however they're starting to infringe on Hasbro's IP, they've gone too far with some of the stuff coming down the road, officially not approved of at all, Hasbro is looking hard at it. Sounds like the hammer is coming down. When done in fun it's fine. When they start making money off the intellectual property (i.e. fully transforming figures of Springer), it is not okay. Full blown business with tools and retail prices of $100 + is going too far

Hasbro are moving toward putting more detail into the toys.

Looking to use more environmentally safe packaging with less twist ties and the like.

Nexus Maximus name - Hasbro also says "ooops"

There's more to come tomorrow, apparently, and pictures of some of this stuff might pop up.

Animated Rodimus
Animated Arcee
Animated Fugitive Wasp /does happy dance

SOLD

Also, I needs pics of movieverse Lockdown. /runs to google.

From the Collector's Club panel:

Next exclusive will be Punch/Counterpunch from the Universe Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold. Great idea. Will have a new head...or two :o

Exclusive after that is a mystery, said to be featured in the 2010 club comic extensively, a large character. They're waiting on confirmation of mold availability before announcing it. Big toy. (I hope it's Armada Tidal Wave as Broadside, personally)

Those two will hopefully be out before year's end.

The unreleased RiD Prime as Defensor from 2005's Botcon may still see the light of day:



Botcon Exclusives and Club Exclusives are very hard to manage, as Takara has a hard time making small run figures in the middle of regular operations, and Hasbro has to limit access to various molds when they have specific plans for them.

Panel asked for audience feedback on possible exclusives like G1 reissues, new versions of old characters (think Shattered Glass good Decepticons/bad Autobots) and glow in the dark Transformers. None of these confirmed, they just wanted the crowd's reaction.

ROTF did not show at the convention this year (2007's BotCon had the premiere of the first movie) because...it's still not finished

What the fuck? How is it less than a month away from debuting in theaters everywhere and NOT FINISHED? Maybe because they didn't start shooting till last August? I've always said, ROTF seems like a massive rush job. Oi.

That's pretty much the only info you guys might care about from that panel

Honestly kinda excited to see it in spite of myself. I like going to the movies. Sue me~

If I see da toaster when I see Ruhlbaar, I'm buying him. No apologies for that :D

Don't have to justify it Neg. I watch a ton of movies too and of course I will watch Revenge of the Fallen. I still think it's been rushed though. It's coming out in like 3 weeks. It should be DONE. They locked in a release date before they started, and even with a late start after the writer strike, they stuck to the date. I don't think these things need to be fumbled through just to meet a summer deadline in hopes of more ticket sales. With the success of the first movie, I'm sure an October or November release would've been just as good as June/July. I would've expected 2010, really.

A 2010 release also could've allowed time for season four of Animated :mad:

It would have been nice! But, alas, everything happens as it happens.

The news you posted is really great. I like that even though I'm not the hugest movieverse fan, there is still so much for people to be excited about within the franchise. Some franchises seem really one dimensional, but TF has tons of things going on at any given time. Since I got back into them with the first movie, I've been nothing short of enraptured. Even when I'm complaining I'm having a good time :D

�Viva La TF!

Neg's on the happysauce, again :erm:

I helped TFW2005 get an award, yay

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/tfw2005-wins-2-botcon-awards-167778/

Yay Ktulu and Vangelus and all those other awesome people ^_______^

http://www.stylinonline.com/tshirt2.html

Couple decent new shirts hidden in there

Oh man, I want a One-Eyed Willie shirt!

That really sounds naughty, now that I think about it.

You dirty dirty girl

The latest of my TFW signatures:



It's kind of an in thing, super nerdy. That toy is Energon Downshift, who happens to look an awful lot like G1 Wheeljack. Works best if you know the movie, as well.

aaaand Animated designer's take on Mirage:

Great Moooovie.

Who is Derrick Wyatt, Alex. I'll take KissPlayers for $400.

The Hasbro Designer panel was....weird this year. Apparently it was only 30 minutes and after just a few comments based on what was said at the Hasbro Preview panel yesterday, Tyrese Gibson showed up and took over...talking about his comic book and other movie projects. What? Then it ended! I guess the Hasbro guys didn't want to field questions or reveal anything else. Damn.

Some tiny added bits:

Reissue Perceptor does come with the missile launcher, it just won't be able to fire. Safety issues.

Animated Arcee is as tall as movie Bumblebee

Animated Rodimus is as tall as Animated Jazz. Has broad shoulders. Cross bow forms the top of his wings.

Animated Cyb. Ratchet can fit the Lockdown EMP like the regular version.

Wingblade Optimus' extra armor will be compatible with regular voyager Optimus

Movie scout Breakdown is styled much like G1 Stunticon Breakdown (could be exaggerated?)

Movie Lockdown is the same size as Animated Lockdown, they will be very similar overall. He too is compatible with the EMP accessory.

Movie voyager Bludgeon stores guns on hips. Formed from the tank's gun barrel.

Movie leader Starscream confirmed, much more accurate than the voyager (which most people into the toys have already bought now lawl)

Movie Human Alliance Barricade w/Frenzy confirmed

Universe Drift design sketches were shown

and then Tyrese crashed the panel

Read the above post too jews




Not THRILLED with his face but I dig it overall



Freeway Jazz




Hyrodive Bumblebee





Needs lipstick to resemble the show model properly




Going to make a great Ironhide I'm sure




Golfire Grimlock



DJW's Springer. Might see the whole design in the Almanac in August!




Universe G2 Skyfall/Skyjack. Got the colors down very well. Needs a new head to properly resemble the character though :(




Hasbro's Red Powerglide. More Geeewuuuun accurate than Takara's, lulz




Hardhead. Again, new head would be nice. As is, kind of resembles RiD MegaOctane (which was a G1 Onslaught repaint)



Reissue Perceptor



Reissue Insecticons



MP Skywarp. No robot mode shown. Hopefully they'll find room for Thundercracker down the line too



"Burning" Fallen. More movie-accurate colors than the regular toy.



TRU's "g1" movie Soundwave

Nothing else new was shown as far as I know

I agree, the head is wonky, but I'll still be proud to own it.

that soundwave reminds me of IDW's Thunderwing.

Nothing in this entire show interests me. Which right now I am actually glad about.

Animated Arcee is almost ok. Roddy would suck even without the horrible head because his torso is too big.

Yeah if you're not into Animated or movie there's not much for you :o Rodimus has very skinny legs too. I really wouldn't mind it overall if he had a stern expression rather than the...frown or whatever.

I wish they would do a Thunderwing from Stormbringer, that's a pretty great design. With Universe coming back next year, who knows.

I hope to see things like the movie Lockdown, Bludgeon, Drift design, Wingblade Optimus, Animated Blackout, etc at SDCC maybe. They left a lot of the things they mentioned uncovered. I think the people at the panel saw em, but of course, no photos allowed.

Yes, my search for movie Lockdown resulted in bupkiss.

There were a lot of other movie toys shown but it was pretty much stuff we've all seen so didn't bother putting it in here.

MTV Movie Awards ROTF clip in case you didn't see:

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/revenge-of-the-fallen-sneak-peek-clip-on-mtv-movie-awards-167784/

If you see the trailer at the start keep watching, this is an actual scene, or part of one.

People are going all OH MY GOD MY HEART WAS POUNDING and shit like that in response. I...kind of don't get what's soooo awesome about it but whatever, I'm probably just being crotchety ant-movie fan or something :(

I got a Green Day ad, that made it doubly awesome, mang.

Constructicons, ftw. So the toys got shafted, Longhaul and Rampage in action :D

Wait is it Scrapper?

Damn, that ad is awesome. It's like packed with references, FUCKING PACKED :D :D :D :D :D

Sorry for the 56kmurder pic fest up there guys

It's okay. We aren't Agent.

ZING.

Sorry for the 56kmurder pic fest up there guys

There's still such thing as 56k?

I hope not :o

Well, back on topic, I'm really liking animated roddy.

It's not bad for a character with one scene :o

I wish a lot of the others were getting toys. Again, damn cancellation, grumble grumble

I was hoping he had a lot more time, HE'S ONLY IN THE ONE SCENE o_O

;_;;;;;;;

He's in some later crowd shots, lulz

Animated cartoon panel mentioned they wanted more characters in the last few episodes, but you know, they had to keep it simple COS ENDING

IT HAS BEGUN

Was yours glued at the top of the bubble? I saw several that weren't

Torn remnants of paper on it say yes.

Weeeeird.

News for today - ROTF is supposed to finally be done this week

I'm going to be honest, I almost bought Rampage.

You and the whips

Still looking for something the right height for Ru�hlb�hr to put his foot on.

Cuz, you know he's got a little Captain in him~

Neg, get Prime nao!

So have you mastered the transformation back and forth MarvSkraight? I hear it's tough.

Some new GogDog pics of some of the new Animated figures, they look better here imo:



Hello Vangelus

They do look better :D

I'm sorta dedicated to my 1st movie Prime. If I end up going against my RUUHLBAHR AND TOASTER ONLY mandate, it'll be to buy Constructicons.

Had to see what Roddy would look like if he were a bit more show accurate:



Could've gone further with the darker reds and all but I didn't want to go too crazy

Successfully avoided the urge to buy Constructicons, w00t.

Also thinking I'll only get Animated Roddy, to save myself some because I'm going to buy the inevitable boxset of the series.

srsly, the constructicons don't even combine, what's the point of getting them?

I sorta like the individual ones, tbh. Especially Rampage <3

They grew on me *shrug*

I think I'll be passing on most of the figures. Prime, Starscream and Sideswipe are the ones I like now. I'm thinking of returning Megs and keeping BB just to use the new head on my custom painted BB. Constructicons are effing awesome, it's the lack of combining them that is turning me away.

MARVSKRAIGHT DID YOU MASTER THE OP TRANSFORMATION

http://castlegeekskull.blogspot.com/2009/06/fallens-design-from-transformers-rotf.html

I've transformed him not once, not twice but thrice and he is still a bitch to transform. Masterpiece Megs is just a pain in the ass compaired to leader Prime.

I'm being 100% honest. I like the first movie Megs, save the exposed face. The face is even more exposed in the ROTF design. It's just like HI IMMA TANK AND I'M DRIVIN' MAHSELF.

I don't remember the label of Cybertronian being an excuse for exposed faces. Yes, a lot of Animated figures have exposed faces, but at least they are usually underneath the car~

At least they did better on the weird jet/tank version

http://fate8.blogspot.com/2009/04/rotf-megatron.html

Aside from the color, I think I like that version better.

I like that version a lot more than the leader. Only Megs I can ever imagine myself buying is the Classics one. Especially the Henkei <333

There's a book?!?!

Not the novelization, but a prequel? Is it worth reading? LAWL

Veiled Threat or sth.

Watched Predacons Rising, Human Error, and Decepticon Air after rewatching what I already had of season 3.

If I'm not mad at the X franchise for throwing in mutants just to throw in mutants, I can't very well be mad at Animated.

End of Predacons made me smile, explaining Slag/Snarl and giving Ramjet a conehead was :D and You know who showing up in Human Error made me SQUEEEEE

Wreck-Gar

I'm not sure how far Mark has gotten, so I'm being careful. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you avoid triple posting~

Bayformers are fucking scary close up

Ktulu, if you were a transformer you'd be called Ktulutron (I know, genius). You'd be Ktulu walking and talking but would transform into a couch that I'd fall asleep on and just be lazy and such. You'd also have a cup holder.

Also, I'm not really sold on some of the designs. I guess I was never really into Bayformers but I can appreciate the technical aspects of them.

What would I be, you creative devilsaurus, you~

EDIT

Finished it. Probably the best we could have hoped for, given the circumstances. Ending is abrubt (well duh, but you know I mean in relativistic terms), but I guess they didn't want to leave anything open, so they just cauterized it.

I'm pleased as I can be, again, given the circumstances.

Close up? They are scary period. They all look like mechanistic rape machines or some shit.

Mechanistic rape machines. Mmmmm.

Sybian Prime, represent.

Neg I think it's a good season closer but not so much a series closer. Obviously they couldn't help that though, so it can't really be judged harshly in that way. At Botcon they mentioned they wanted more in the final episodes but it just had to be thrown out.

Think if the G1 cartoon had ended with the movie. It's sort of like that. You do have a somewhat complete story but there's still some things left open.

Yeah, there are possibilities, but it was like WE'RE NOT GONNA DISCUSS EM.

Like say who's gonna be the new Magnus...

So, no dialogue in the final scene and the like~

Well the existing one isn't dead, just in recovery, so it could possibly remain him.

Would still like to see those two having it out in some way to resolve it.

I just felt bad for Sentinel at the end of Rise of the Predacons. Sad that he couldn't overcome it. He's kinda ultimately tragic in that regard.

DAMMIT IT SUCKS THAT IT'S OVER ;_;

http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2009/0622/celebrity-09-transformers-michael-bay-making-movies-enemies-money_2.html

Bay gets 8 percent of movie toy profits. I don't quite think that's right. It's not like he's the one that actually designed any of them, sculpted them into toy form, engineered their transformations, etc. He just said "yes, I like that" to the work of others. And what of the numerous extra toys in the movie lines that are purely Hasbro/Takara creations and not even in the movies?

BAY SI FGT

print the bumperstickers, NAOW.

Got my midnight showing movie tickets.




Just sayin'.

Go check your PMs :D

I'm surprised the 24th date is still going. It's coming out like three days earlier in the UK, I figured they'd bump the US date as well

What if:



This had a somewhat more...normal TF face?



Hmm.

good thing we figured out it would still be a garish and ugly design even if the head didn't suck =/

I don't mind the colors too much, I like green. Also TK you like just insulted my idea

nuh uh. I said the head didn't suck, which is the only thing you changed!

...still made me cry.

The arms and legs in general are a bit weird but far more normal than whatever the hell is with the head. I still can't get over it. At least it's not as insane as his brother's though.



AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i like it ktulu.

I think I'm leaning towards Jazz Santi's general idea that Skids is the new Jazz. I'm assuming on this, but if not, I'll be brave enough to think it myself, no worries.

I've been very tolerant of Skids in my head (silent acceptance) for a couple weeks now.

Ray has an interesting take on Megs's face showing all the time. I don't agree with it, but I respect it. Kudos to him for liking what he likes.

He likes the toaster too :D :D :D

Saw part of one of the art books that describes Megatron's head issue as some sort of scanner like the Beast Machine drones have. Cop out, really.




Wonder what color he really will be. I'm guessing the red at Botcon.

Then there's this repaint that barely looks different:

http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/65/35/69/41/0065356941981_500X500.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/HostedByChrist/00cc30e9.jpg

Pretty positive this hasn't been posted. Ktulu, you've probably seen it anyways since you are in the know with Transformers stuff, but hey everyone else, awesome this way.

Interesting to conceptualize Blitzy's crazy face as a kid, but I guess it works.

Id and all~

Definitely a fun picture :D

I was looking up F-22 raptor pics so I can compare with my voyager rotf Starscream and look what I found.





lol

I SEE

I've looked at the ROTF novel and comic adaptation and it feels like there's not really much going on in the story. Am I nuts?

I SEE

Tis true

I was going to buy the novel if it was at Walmart the other day, but it wasn't.

Fuck that Wal-Mart

So, I should look for it?

I just read a summary of the chapters online personally. The comic adaptation seems to be pretty much exactly the same, maybe go for that. Either way, movie is out in two weeks.

...and from there, there's nothing to do but talk about it and wait for whatever comes next after the entire year of movie toys :o

I thought the novel was a prequel, mang.

There is a prequel novel for both movies and novelizations of the movie stories themselves, I've been talking about the novelization of ROTF

Well if I didn't read the one for the original, guess I don't have to read the one for this one ;)

I'm definitely not into the movie universe to buy novels about it

That's pretty much what I said/decided in that post :D

http://www.prosieben.de/kino_dvd/videoplayer/64592/

A clip of Demolishor, some we've seen, and the soldiers. Got page after page of EPIC! and AWESOME!!!!! comments at TFW2005. I didn't....really see what was so amazing?

I feel like some asshole, it seems like I'm the only guy around there not immediately in love with every little movie thing now. I just get lumped in with the RAGE COS NOT GEEWUN people and that's really not the thing of it for me :(

Yeah, that's not particularly exciting.

I find this so incredibly annoying. It's like unless you think everything TF related since the 80s is a stroke of brilliance, you are clearly a "truck not monkey" person. Fuck that shit. I don't like the movies, Animated... or G1. And I think Beast Wars is the best thing that ever happened. I wonder what category I would get lumped into! X_X

TK is a Munky not Truck person :smrt:

and expressing how screwed up it is just pisses off people as well. It sucks, but I guess it can happen with anything, elitism over this and that, if you don't like what you're supposed to like, then fuck you and so on :o

optimus is a faget

Ultramagnus is a dick

Ultramagnus is a dick

He's better that Hot Rod any day, he reeks of teen douchery.

Hot Rod, yes.

We're Rodimus fanboys :smrt:

pshh they're all the same

Magnus couldn't even find the fingerholes. He was flailing around trying to break it open like a hyperactive 5 yr old.

It's a (natural) selection process. THE MATRIX KNOWS.

He was obviously still in hysterics regarding the loss of his friend. And he tried using it when it wasnt their darkest hour, it was doomed to failure.

If you left it up to Magnus it'd always be their darkest hour, cuz, you know, he can't deal with that right now~

If memory serves me correctly some foolhearty kid had to be rescued by a certain dead someone via deus ex machina!

Not to mention UM was leading them just fine!

Yes, great Autobot leaders always get blasted apart in 3 shots from HENCHMEN.

Galvatron hit Roddy like 7 fucking times and he didn't even flinch :p

Becaue he had the matrix! Had it been Hot Rod he would have ran and complained to Puck.

Who's Puck?

Also, by that logic, Ultra Magnus shouldn't have been blown apart. Both were holding the Matrix at the time :smrt:

He was going through emotional fatigue! Also he came back! Only a true owner of the Matrix could do that.

He never turned black, and turning black only came to symbolize that you'd be dead for a WHILE.

Prime was brought back in Season 3 and Animated Optimus even turned black.

So, of course Magnus was capable of being put back together. Hell, Waspinator gets blown up almost every episode.

lol. Sounds like Waspinator is better candidate than Roddy too.

He's got plans, man ;)

lol good to know

What the hell is going on

Not to mention UM was leading them just fine!

I don't know man, I thought the whole getting their ship blown apart, stranded on a hostile alien planet, and then losing the matrix thing was not so great! :P


Hot Rod, yes.

We're Rodimus fanboys :smrt:

Speak for yourself! I am a fanboy of both!

I don't know man, I thought the whole getting their ship blown apart, stranded on a hostile alien planet, and then losing the matrix thing was not so great! :P


Such things were unvoidable, but the voice if Robert Stack was always cool and collected.

(In best Agent Smith voice: ) Mr. Knight, I would gladly throw Hot Rod under the bus to win an argument. You see, I know, because.......I'VE...DONE IT.

Such things were unvoidable, but the voice if Robert Stack was always cool and collected.

they would never have gotten in that situation under Optimus!

You've left yourself open for the obvious rebuttle, TK.

HEADS UP

they would never have gotten in that situation under Optimus!

Very true, too bad certain brash teenage robots who'll remain nameless interfered, the great Autobot Leader was killed. Ultra Magnus just dealt with the horrible hand teenage robots dealt him.

Man, Hot Rod was meant to do that. Optimus HAD to die, so Rodimus could arise.

Shame, Jeff, shame. You know everything happens as it happens and couldn't happen any other way :D

If you left it up to Magnus it'd always be their darkest hour, cuz, you know, he can't deal with that right now~

win


I don't know man, I thought the whole getting their ship blown apart, stranded on a hostile alien planet, and then losing the matrix thing was not so great! :P

WIN!

Very true, too bad certain brash teenage robots who'll remain nameless interfered, the great Autobot Leader was killed. Ultra Magnus just dealt with the horrible hand teenage robots dealt him.

Optimus's excessive compassion killed him, not Hot Rod. True facts.

Man I bet if Optimus gets permanently knocked off in the Bayverse in the third movie, friggin Bumblebee will become the leader

Even more likely, it'd be Shia LaBeouf or...the US President, with a long 30 minute ceremony shot in slow motion and a live performance from Linkin Park

Myspace's login page has a promo for Linkin Park's new ROTF related video and at first glance I seriously thought it was for some horror movie - the singer looks like he's being fucking tortured:

Chester is in need of some Immodium AD.

All hope is lost.

Without Immodium AD, there's no hope, no hope, no hope at all.

What series of Transformers have ya'll been talking about? I want to check it out now. lol. Never was a big transformers fan, but if I caught it on T.V. I'd watch it. Now I kind of want to watch a series and get involved in the story. I didn't realize they actually had a legit storyline in the series. But then again, when I was watching Transformers I was like...6.

G1, Byrd.

Specifically we've been talking about the 86 movie, but the saga of Rodimus continues in Season 3 of the show.

hey neg


























rodimus is a faget

Ur a fgt

In ROTF there are apparently a lot of clone Decepticons that are completely unexplained, leaving fans to justify it themselves.

My thoughts:

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/240105-clearing-up-constructicons-devastator-scenes-confusion.html#post3734422

oic. Well, if nothing else you can say that the ones that aren't part of devastator are the Voyager/Deluxe figures that don't combine (a la the repaint of Shockwave having a legitimate purpose in Animated) ;P

But yeah, the movie is already going to be confusing enough with Baytography :sad:

Hey, I know I said I like 'em, but let's change Cuckoo and budarc's avs to Skids and Mudflap. Maybe even their names...

I imagine they are acting exactly as the twins will act :o

POGOTRON
