I thought you were enamored with Universe Hound...

Oh, I thought you meant the stupid movie one in that picture.

I did, but they did a classics Ravage who came with Universe Hound. Did you mean you want a stand-alone, larger classics Ravage? I thought perhaps you were saying that they aren't making such a figure because they are focusing on Bayformers, which is probably somewhat true, but not out of the question since the line is coming back.

I wouldn't be opposed to that.

You seem to have called movie Rampage "Ravage", Neg. I guess that's where the confusion began?

But...on the new subject: the new Japanese USB Device Label Ravage actually pops up with English instructions, has Hasbro copyrights, and some of the info calls him "Ravage" directly, I think when you plug it in, which is interesting because that's not his name in Japan at all. So, now there's a buzz that it may have an intended Hasbro release.



He looks great with the mp3 Soundwave:



Interesting tie to this if Hasbro does want to release that Ravage, this prototype just showed up:



For now, it could just be one of those fan-made products, but it could just as well be a Hasbro mold. The overall style reminds me a lot of the basics/scouts for Energon and Cybertron.

There was apparently some rumor about a Soundwave for Universe 3 floating around a few days ago as well but I don't know how solid it is.

I did, but they did a classics Ravage who came with Universe Hound.

Yeah, my comment was meant to be a clever way of saying "it sucks, Universe ravage is cool." I guess it failed. =(

lol, I was second guessing myself if it was a Rampage/Ravage issue XD

I didn't look back on the previous page to check, though.

The movie ravage on the previous page does indeed say ravage

It does indeed, but for some reason I took what you said and applied it to Rampage. Probably because I said Ravage when I meant Rampage.

Totally a godammit Neg, moment. Sorries :o :o :o

Hmmm, better than Botcon 09?

Not really sure. Probably just different.

I feel like the colors are too light...but yeah, it's better. Mold actually works better for Kup, and it's a better toy in general anyway. The only cool use of the Cybertron Red Alert mold so far, really, was CANNONBALL, the pirate Decepticon:





After that, it should've been retired.

Yes, Vangelus taught me of this, with turquoise subtitles :swoon:

I'd like to see that rusty and covered in blood, please.

fuck transformers

lol

Vangelus named a transformer, eh?

Not really sure what you're talking about :o

Ah. I don't watch Peaugh videos much.

I wouldn't say he named it. If Hasbro released a purple truck and someone joked that he's "Optimus Jr" and then it later got an official repaint as Optimus, does that mean that person named the toy?

A few days ago everyone was like OMG ITS SPOONZ OYEH when the pictures of that surfaced. They all named it too :D

Well the V-man did it well before "a few days ago." Still, even though I just said that, I'm not trying to be like VANGELUS TOTALLY IS THE CAUSE OF THIS. Just being cheeky, giving him some lovin' for the cool coincidence.

Yeah, I'm just saying it wasn't some left field thing. He called a forklift by the name of an existing forklift character, and it's one Hasbro had the rights to since they own Gobots, and there's been several Gobots references in modern Transformer lines anyway. If the mold had been a Ferrari or something else unrelated that he called Spoons I'd be more impressed by it.

I can see that.

I'd say I'll get him since I actually have OG Spoons, but nah, for reasons stated constantly.

Vangelus is cool, no doubt, so I'm not trying to be all huffy towards him or anything.

So who remembers that?

You know, I've never seen that ep :o

Hah, I like that they got the name right.

Someone in the comments of JTMitchell's review said they had just came there from seeing that episode.

Me too :p

Found this when looking for pics for Jeff. Not of the right spirit to put in a birthday thread, but I figure there's enough of us here who'll appreciate it.

Guys, major alert for those who want the full Transformers score by Steve Jablonsky, it's available at

Thread 40522

This is not the 52 track promo or the 60 track 2 CDs that jumbled the promo with the official score. This has everything, even unused and demo tracks, including an 8m17s long version of "Arrival to Earth" that is just... WOW.
A huge thanks to Fox_M for sharing this.

I'm not sure if any of us do but thanks anyway

I had a joke prepared, but it'd just been needlessly rude. Thanks for the offer, man :)

MP Skywarp is turning up in Wal-Marts now and I can't afford one :(

Lawl, the horrible life of a poor toy nerd

I've never been one to buy seekers. Starscream is always enough.

I don't have any masterpiece figures. It'd take someone like Roddy or Jazz or Springer to change that. Masterpiece triple-changer. Mmmmmmmm.

BUMBLEBEE TIME

All that and no Animated BB?

Imma revolt~

There's been stuff with Animated Bumblebee on it, I've seen baby blankets I know for sure.



This makes me nerd-lawl over short Grimlock. He's supposed to be taller than Prime :o

It's cool to see some G1 stuff out. I bet kids now will just look at them and just go THAT'S NOT THE REAL TRANSFORMERS though. Maybe that new Discovery/Hasbro channel will re-run the old cartoon so kids will know what's up

Oh, I've seen tons of Animated BB stuff in person. Kids have backpacks with him ALL THE TIME.

I want those shoes ; ;

I bet you could find them at ROSS: DRESS FOR LESS

EDIT- Human Alliance Mudflap has been announced. He comes with Agent Simmons.

Here's hoping Simmons has the jockstrap. I'd totally buy it if so.

Yeah, we heard that a while ago. Saw the unpainted mold.

I swear I'm not imagining this.

Also, I'm going to bet that he suffers from the same problem as HA Skids: losing much of his intricacy and molded detail. HA Skids is boring shizzz, to me.

Ah yeah I remember the picture. I probably posted it here with the other SDCC pictures :o The uh, new news was primarily that it's getting a February release. I'm not really keeping score on those things since they're not on my radar.

It looks thinner than he does in the movie, I think, but the crazy head is right

Yup, we have Marshalls. I'll try to check there today or tomorrow. If I find them I'll take a picture for the latest purchases thread.

Is 2012 really going to be that bad? I mean, I haven't even seen a trailer or anything. I'm just assuming that it'll be awesome because Cusack's in it.

That's always held true in the past, except for like Must Love Dogs. That's just boring.

ROTF DVD has a bunch of design sketches and there's a lot of weird shit on it. Soundwave with four legs, Jetfire with a dinosaur skull for a face...just truly bizarre things.



I like how they have pictures of the classic design there as if it has anything to do with the rest of the page. It's probably there so Bay could see how much better their version is or something :o

Lawl:




Were the twins originally the triplets?





And here's some crazy Bumblebee stuff.





Heh. The "kitty face" sort of works in that it's at least less horrifying than what they settled on later. He actually looks like he could be a good guy. What a crazy idea.

Oh my god THAT'S why I have 2 Robotech robots that have transformers stickers on them, they just re-used the mold and put the transformers logo on it. I guess they figured that if the original Jetfire was a knock off of a veritech then movie Jetfire should be a knock off of Eva unit 01.

The kitty battle mode Bumble Bee could be movie Cheetor and the hornet battle mode could be movie Waspinator.

Fierce Cow Monster

I couldn't stand the Sambobots in Revenge of the Fallen. If Bay wants me to come back for TF3, then they'd better dead or die.

Twins, ftw. Only thing good about the movie.

/propaganda

Looks pretty cool.

Actually makes the splintery design look less horrible.

Liking the cartoon style shading.

Twins, ftw. Only thing good about the movie.

/propaganda

Not me though, they offended my black sensibilities and in general caused my disdain for Revenge of the Fallen among other things. The "only thing good" about the movie for me was the Forest Battle and even it had its kinks.

Lol my black sensibilities are insulted that your black sensibilities are insulted. Their skin was metallic, they are from an entirely different planet, and did not look anything like black people. Now since they spoke unintelligibly, and had the facial features of urban slum dwellers I can conjecture that you think that urban slum-dwellers are synonymous with black people.

PS I'm black, don't be one of those politically correct pussies who are too afraid to be convicted of prejudice to call someone on their faggotry. Don't generalize ignorant speech patterns with being Black though.

My main problem with the twins is that they're just more comedy relief characters out of a million. Movie is a teen comedy with a few action scenes wrapped around it. Really strange, tonally.

OH SHIT WE'RE ON A MISSION TO SAVE THE ONLY GUY THAT CAN STOP THE GUY THAT'S GONNA FUCK OUR SOLAR SYSTEM UP (EVEN THOUGH IF WE DON'T LOOK FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO THAT...THE BAD GUY CAN NEVER TURN ON HIS NASTY SUN MICROWAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE?), AND LOL LOOK AT THIS FUCKING MIDGET IN THE DESERT, THAT'S HILARIOUS

I didn't ask for any support. I will be treated equally not by a movement, but by my own capacity. And if I should try y best to be seen as equal and people's prejudice still obstruct me, I'll scoff knowing I triumphed adversity and am better than those who look down on me.

The second equality is obliged it will never be ascertained, so you can pretty your words up, and bleed from the vagina all you want, but your movement causes more problems than it solves.

KEYTAR CONVERTS TO RATBAT

Man, why are you guys even discussing how hard it is to be black?

Its so much harder being white.

New Animated toys have begun their release

Roddy isn't in that wave, is he?

No, I think it's just those two. The first new mold released will probably be Blackout.

I saw him when Peaugh reviewed him. He's not great, but he's a hundred million lightyears better than movie Blackout.

That doesn't take much, I know.

From the SDCC picture I didn't like him, but once I saw the crazy disc shooter is removable, IT ALL CHANGED

I talked to kids today about ROTF. It was a fun conversation, to have them change their opinion after they heard mine.

I SHAPE THE MINDS OF TOMORROW. FEAR ME.

Details

Whenever I talk to kids about anything we have in common, like say TF, Pokemon, Resident Evil (yes, parents let 5-10 year olds play RE. They know the details, they pass the test), etc., they usually adapt their opinion to mine. It's a pretty common phenomenon. The easiest example in actual school vernacular is called "blessing the book." If you read a book to kids, or you tell them that you're reading a particular book, they will want to read it and generally be excited about it.

In this specific case, they are so excited that an adult likes something they do, that they'll bend their opinions accordingly, to be more like you.

I'm guilty of this myself, as demonstrated on this very website ;) *cough*FinalFantasy*cough*sucks*cough*

I was wondering what exactly you/they said

I said it was horrible and they agreed?

Note that they had backpacks and tshirts that said otherwise. I can only hope they are burning them in effigy as we speak.

Usual shit, Fallen dying in 30 seconds, can't see what's going on. One of them actually said Sam bringing back Prime with a sock full of shit was dumb. I love that kid the most.

Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen

*The designs are too busy and it�s hard to tell what�s going on in a lot of the scenes. More moving parts does not equal more range of emotion; see Wall.E, R2, & 3PO.

*The Autobots where more violent and cruel then the Decepticons.

*The decepticon excavator & sportcar wasn�t doing anything evil, just hiding but they were hunted down and killed anyway.

*Dogs humping, twice!

*Shia Laboof�s parents butt slapping and his mother going on a reefer binge.

*Why is it that whenever the Allspark brings something to life it�s always Evil and murderous?

*Why is Bumble Bee�s voice broke again? They reattached his legs but can�t give him a new voice box?

*Why is there so much military stuff in this? It�s a big cock tease. Oh a chopper, you�re gonna transform right? No well the boat and fighter jet must be robots cuz I saw there toys last time I was at target so� not them either? Oh well.

*The army guys take up a lot of screen time but you really can�t care much about them when the 2 from the last movie barely had 20 lines between them.

*Walls filled with sacks of dead robot babies.

*Shia and Bumble Bee are the only ones that showed any feelings about Optimus Prime dying. None if the other Autobots seemed too upset and you�d think Megatron would be at least a little pleased with himself.

*The first Allspark shard the army had and was stolen by Ravage which the Deceptacons used to bring back Megatron. Megan Fox had the 2nd shard that Shia gave to her and that was used to bring Jetfire back to life. Why didn�t they just use that to revive Optimus instead of going all the way to Egypt?

*Herp & Durp. I first saw them in promo pics and toys and liked the design of them., then I found out about them combining into a pink ice cream truck and seeing as how that�s so damn cool bought the toy when it came out. Children were still talking at the beginning and I thought I heard Steve Buscemi�s voice and got all excited, maybe Peter Stormare voices the other twin?
What the hell? They don�t do much reading? Did they just say pussy?
The worst thing about them is the fact that when the movie was over all the children were imitating them.


*What�s with the guy with bad teeth?

*With all the sexual content that was stuffed in why are the fembots these weird snake thingies and not sexy robots?

*I did not need to see John Turturro in a thong.

*Wheelie humping Megan Fox. I felt sullied and unusual, there was a 6 year old girl setting in front of me.

*Devastator. I kinda like the Rancor/Kirby form but it couldn�t stand up and was killed by Herp & Durp JarJar�ing there way around him and getting shot by a boat. Lame.

*The bump truck, cement mixer, and bulldozer who at the time were formed as part of Devastator were also chasing Shia in the village.

*The excavator was killed at the beginning of the movie but was alive again in the devastator scenes.

*The helicopter was killed in the first movie but wasn�t brought back to life with Megatron but he was there with Megaton & Starscreem at the forest and got he face ripped off. He was alive again in the village fight.

*What happened to the policecar from the first movie?

*Why didn�t the old primes just kill the fallen?

*Shia labuoof just died and went to robot heaven.

*Alright Prime vs. Megatron & The Fallen this should be� it�s over.

+2 Rep

A lot of those plot-based points are my exact feelings. Yay.

The "why didn't they use the shard to revive Optimus" debate rages on. I was just posting in another discussion about that today at TFW. There are many apologists for the movie, of course, so no "victory" is ever had, it's just two stubborn camps bitching at each other :D

I'm still hung up on fierce cow monster.

Me too TK

I found mah post




To be fair, at the time they didn't know what was going to happen with the Shard (and certainly weren't aware it could have revived Optimus)

That is if we assume that important information is not shared with relevant parties in the middle of a war. Lame for us to have to accept something like that.

It should have been clear to the Autobots that the original shard was stolen, and that it was used to revive Megatron. You can argue "they might not have known it was the shard..." but damn, the shard being stolen at all is huge, relevant info they should have absolutely been told about. For the second shard - Bumblebee would have clearly known about Sam's shard given that he fought off a whole kitchen brought to life by it, and he should have shared that information with Optimus and the others.

Say they had all appropriately known what the hell was going on, later on...the Autobots that for soooome reason showed up incredibly late to the battle against Megs, Scream, and Grindor (even though they were all initially traveling *with* Optimus) should have been able to step in and get Sam to use the damn shard on Optimus. You can say "but it wouldn't be enough! Optimus was stabbed through the back, oh no!" based on what happened with Megatron's revival, but Megatron's injuries were very substantial as well, he was blown to shit by an air strike, and had his spark fried just as much or worse than Optimus' was. If you think the difference was Megatron "needing parts" from the Constructicon - consider that there just happened to be the dead ass Grindor laying around with plenty of parts the likes of Ratchet probably could have pulled from if Optimus needed anything extra.

It also really irks me that they only sent the damn twins to help Bumblebee protect the kids after this part of the movie rather than able warriors like Sideswipe or Ironhide, but that's another subject.

Now, with things actually working well and efficiently like that, maybe you'd have no movie, and the "Drama" of Optimus dying wouldn't be there, and most movies have moments where the logical step doesn't quite pan out, but man, it's really hard for me to accept the Autobots operating in such a clueless manner. There's really no reason they shouldn't have known all about what was going on at that point. The whole "revive this robot so you can revive another robot that you could've revived to begin with" circular plot element really is ridiculous - especially considering what they dug up to use on Optimus happened to be a very dangerous object that could've finally enabled the Fallen to blow the solar system to shit.

He fights a kitchen?

I sure don't feel bad about having skipped this one.

Let me know if there are any exciting parlor battles in the next movie.

then a giant robot turned into a jet and attacked Earth.


....and there were slow-mo boobs.

TK - For some reason in this universe, if the allspark touches random objects, it turns them into evil Transformers. A little sliver of the allspark from the first movie hit the Witwicky kitchen floor or something, and everything in it turned into little gremlin robots. Toasters, garbage disposals, microwaves, who the fuck knows. It was a goofy little side-scene thrown in just to give Bumblebee a grand entrance, since he has to swoop in and save the family and house from getting totally fucked up by the little kitchen-bots.

Get this though. Sam is screaming for Bumblebee's help when they're attacking. After he comes in and kills the living fuck out of them, Sam starts bitching at him, tells him to go away, and then basically tells him "FUCK YOU I'M NOT TAKING YOU WITH ME TO COLLEGE. I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE EVEN THOUGH YOU JUST HAD TO SAVE MY LIFE TWO SECONDS AGO!!!! I RESENT MY COOL TRANSFORMING CAR!"

It makes so much sense. It really, really does.

Fighting a kitchen can be a traumatic experience. Cut the kid some slack.

I'm guilty of this myself, as demonstrated on this very website ;) *cough*FinalFantasy*cough*sucks*cough*

OMG Final Fantasy Sucks!!! Your all losers and i'm burning my house down because a older person said they did it! *thinks* hmm maybe I should stop posting on forums and get out of the house whilst I still can...naa *thinks*

To me I think it's that when a comment only says something like "You mispronounced ----", highlighting one screw up out of 10 minutes of talking, that can feel pretty bad, as if that person found absolutely nothing of merit and could only laugh at the mistakes or something.

I doubt everyone takes corrections harshly, but there are so many out there that seem to only pop up to tell you what's wrong with a video rather than anything else, and it's not the best feeling.

It gets hilariously painful when your talking about history, philosophy, or mythology about story lines or characters. Take that guy who thinks he's V for Vendetta and talks about Eva, he often points out things that I would never have considered and I pretty much agree with most of what he says but he seems to have quite a bit of content for me :(

Toys R Us exclusives, eh?

Better than Target, at least TRU seems to get plentiful stock with exclusives

"Wings clip-on!"

I wasn't aware that parts forming was a feature worth advertising.

It may be a veiled nod towards being able to remove them for a more G1-like car mode, I don't know

Better than Target, at least TRU seems to get plentiful stock with exclusives

Not for me, the nearest TRU is 2 1/2 hours away. As for the targets they take forever to get exclusives in and once they do generally clearance them after only 3 weeks so if I do find something it's probably at least half off ($20 for a war painted Rancor).

TRU always has their stuff online if you can't get to a store

I've never seen a Target exclusive make it as far as clearance, they sell out in the first week or so here. This stuff is always varied from place to place.

I know I can get things online but there's no thrill of the hunt in that plus it's nice to actually see the thing before buying. There have been many times were after seeing something I wanted I no linger have any wish for, or I absolutely love something after seeing it in person.

It's understandable. I don't have a TRU close to me either. There was one but it was closed about 3-4 years ago

I never had a close TRU but I had 2 KB Toys the first of which closed when I was about 5ish but the 2nd which was about 30 min. away was still open and when I was 10 a KB Toy liquidators opened up in a new strip mall and that was epic. Tons of old figures you couldn't get anymore in bins for 2 for 10, 3 for 10, and even 5 for 10. But the 2nd KBT closed down in 2004 ish and at the time I still didn't have a drivers licence and no one would take me to the closing sale. Having no need to got to that particular area for a while I decided to make a quick pit stop at the strip mall only to find that Toy Liquidators had also shut down, and it had been recent seeing as how there were still about 6 bins you could barly see in the blacked windows still full of various goods.

When the KB here closed about two Christmases ago, they had a sale where you could take as much as you could carry for 10 dollars. I missed it, lawl. Nerdcry

Do you get the plu and ask people to check for them with their scantrons at Target? A lot of times stuff like exclusives get sent months early with a "don't push till x date" note, and it gets backstocked and forgotten about if it isn't in a planogram.

edit: also when my kb toys went out of business they sold all their ps2 games for $5-10 a piece. You could actually make money on some stuff by walking over and selling it to gamestop.

Quick, let's invent time machines just to find old toy deals. Save Lincoln? See if the Bible is trufax? Bet on sports scores? No. FUCK THAT. Getting 90 percent off Chewbacca figures is the obvious best use of a tool this powerful.

I have this fantasy about being able to go back in time to a toys r us or something in the 80's. All those awesome toys, brand new in their boxes, with so many to choose from! It would be incredible. :sigh:

Yeah me too. I've thought about it to the point of wondering if I could only find the toys that didn't end up bought by kids because I wouldn't want to change who became a fan!

God I hate growing up with a bunch of fat lazy people in a small town and never getting to go anywhere or even do small unimportant things like those; and when we did do something it was few and far between. It�s pretty sad that the best dreams I've been having recently are about buying toys.

Mindwipe is pretty neat. If I was in the mood to spend money on TF, I'd probably buy him.

Look how awesome that looks, that could have easily been the movie version instead of a grilled cheese sandwich with gorilla arms and chicken legs.

no wai insect faces and trash heap bodies are the only way to make the form-changing alien robots realistic

Well, he's no Starscream, but I did pick up Masterpiece Skywarp early this week from Walmart.

Besides that, those 2 pictures of Starscream are amazing!

Thew only designs I really liked were Hurp & Durp's, the microscope, the excavator's inhuman body was imaginative if it didn't suffer from the same problems as the rest of the bots, The humping RC & Maybe the dump truck but he didn't have much screen time.

Scalpel, Demolishor/Scavenger, Wheelie and Longhaul, respectively.

I'm assuming you know the twins' names.

So they were ment to be Longhaul & Demolishor/Scavenger. I don't remember who Wheelie was from the original toons/toys but they could have had his car mode one of those novelty RC rats they sell during Halloween and we would have had a pretty good Rattrap.

Orange annoying bastard from the movie. The real movie.

I hate that I can't afford a MP Skywarp right now :sigh:

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, 30 dollar Skylynx. Great time to be broke

A shuttle that turns into a dinosaur it's like sideways beastwars were instead of the vehicle turning into a robot it turns into a animal.

That's kinda like giving 110% clearly your at a tactical advantage.

I wish I could afford to get all you awesome people in this thread Transformers toys for Christmas. :(

You will have to settle for transformers pictures until I strike it rich.

Your generosity is only eclipsed by the heart which is resides in, Ndi but we'll manage some how. And if you did get that much money I'd rather see you buy things for poor children instead of man/boys on the Internet becouse then those kids will just grow up without having any of these things and when they get jobs of there own they'll just spend any extra money on the toys they didn't have as children.
On second thought maybe we should change things around a bit; children should be sent to work because they have unlimited energy and adults can spend all bay playing with toys. Most adults are more gentle with toys than kids and the way the market is now most kids would rather have phones, Ipods, portable DVD's, laptops, & the like than action figures and the really good toys i.e. Revoltch, Figma, Neca, & McFarlane a few years ago are for "mature" collectors.

And in return I would get you this...

Ktulu I'd buy it for you if I could afford too. <3

I have that pony, Mark! Ktulu got her for me because he is the most awesome person ever. She is absolutely my favorite pony and I love her tons.

awesome stuff under spoiler cut to keep this on topic:



I have seriously thought about making the zombie part my avatar.

I had no idea you got it. I just remembered that was something you really wanted last year. :/

Sari pic on the right is dying to be an av.

Is that some Marcelo Matere art?

I have replaced my TF review habit with a Super Mario World Rom-hack addiction.

Still, I just found Thew last night because of Vangelus and I've watched all his videos. I'm pretty sure. I'll check again.

He's the other one they champion on 4chan all the time, he is pretty entertaining. I always prefer the guys that have fun and drop the 10 MINUTES POINTING OUT COLORS gag

Sari was so adorable, especially when she was in her Optimus cardboard box costume.

Is that some Marcelo Matere art?

I'm pretty sure it is- it's signed MM and it's exactly how he draws- but I got it off 4chan so I can't be positive. I could always make a thread on /co/ and check.

<3 Wierd Al's music :P

We should squeeze all the sharman we can while Mr. Wiffle's not around!

I'm watching Empty is Awesome, now. It's cuz of you, Mr. Jones.

I just can't stop laughing at him.

I love that guy. I think I want to homage him.

If only I had time anymore. I'm always at the damn hospital. Grandpa went in two weeks ago. Got to rehab Wednesday, thought he was going to be ok (hence having time for the Black Friday video) but he ended up right back at the medical center Friday night. I don't mind helping out by being around but it's getting to where I'm being told I have to be there at this time or that and it's really a chore. Was there about 20 hours (with no sleep of course) from Sunday thru this morning and I couldn't sleep after leaving because he left me with a long list of things I had to do ASAP. Aside from being there, there's tons of things that have to be done over at the grandparent's house now that he's not there and a lot of the way I'm being made to do things are so fucking backwards. Bah. I have to dog-sit 5 dogs for my cousin this week as well, 5 incredibly bad dogs that don't want to cooperate, and I have to go over there 3 times a day according to his wishes. My mom is coming home for the holidays and I'm supposed to handle the arrangements for that but she won't tell me much, she just says she doesn't know, she doesn't know about every question I need to ask.

I could really get into a big whine about things but I know in the grand scheme it isn't so bad. I'm just pissed that no one cares that I do have my own things I legitimately need to do at home, not just dumb Youtube shit or whatever, and my own dog to take care of, but ah well. Maybe this will get easier to juggle soon.

I understand that kind of stuff. I went through it when my grandmother was in hospice and then when my grandfather was in the hospital and I had to stay there basically the whole time with him because my aunt decided she wanted to go on vacation all summer while her mother was dying and her father was in the hospital.

Remember the hospital week? Oh, I was a JOY that week. Still, that wasn't as bad as the week after my grandmother finally died. I was a BALL OF COMPASSION.

It's pretty interesting that this topic came up because of Empty. I actually took to yelling at the top of my lungs while driving during that period. It fucked my throat up. It's great to hear him yell in much the same way. Saves my throat the trouble :)

Well when I'm overrunned I usually make sure I just do whatever is most important that only I can accomplish and squeeze anything else in after that, I'm bound to fail at something so it might as well be something I don't care about or don't like doing or are not that good at.

I hope Grandpa gets better, mine is stable but not too well, he sleeps most of the time we visit him and can't hear hardly anything anymore.

Yes, this news is a couple days old, but no one has commented on it yet, so I'm posting about it.

For anyone who doesn't know, Peter Cullen was the original voice of Optimus way back in the Generation 1 era. He will be returning to the role in the new movie due out next summer. This has actually sparked a minute bit of hope in me that the movie may not suck completely. I realize that hope will likely be crushed though.

I'm very interested! I would love to find out more.

OK, cool!^_^ I just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong :]

Nice! I'll start saving up some scratch for this

great news, i love my seed upgrade.

Any one?

O points for creativity. You're copypastaing, already.

i love my seed upgrade.

This should be qotm.

http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=12742 Interesting aesthetic

Hmmm. Worth watching out for, I guess.

Since it was also announced casting for the next TF cartoon has begun, naturally a lot of people speculate that game will coincide with it, but eh, too early to bother thinking about it for me, I'll just take it as it comes

I really like the coloring on those pictures.

http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=12742 Interesting aesthetic

That's what the movies should have looked like, complex and sharp/edgy but still bright and well defined.

Prime's vehicle mode is definitely the same as that grey prototype toy that popped up a while ago



So...the game either has it's own toyline, or the designs might indeed be from the next cartoon

Trailer is here http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/transformers-war-for-cybertron-exclusive-debut-trailer-168881/

Can't watch it cos crummy hospital internets. Tell me what you guys think

Wow, looks kinda cool. Similar to movie transformation style, but the bot modes are obviously a million times more solid. I'm not the biggest fan of Cybertron stylings, but it still looks 100 times better than the movie games. Even though that is FMV and not gameplay. So, yeah. Looks cool, want to see gameplay.

Needs multi-player co-op Devastator mode. You each get a body part to control.

I'm reminded of that flash game where you had to control the legs individually to make the runner go. And, HAVING NIGHTMARES.

Still, playing as a group of 6 with them individually, and then coming up with a system where input is weighed based on response time and the like while as Devastator could be cool as hell.

It'd make a lot more sense in gestalts like Menasor, though, where the personalities CLASH LIKE MAD.

<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank">

That's honestly pretty cute!

I don't even...



I wonder. Is this "Universe 3.0", something from the next show, some ROTF subline, some other shit altogether? If it's Universe 3.0, well, it certainly deviates from making the characters look close to their "old" selves. It's not off I guess but the head is not Huffery at all.

o_O

what are youuuuuuu

The line has been mentioned before but I have no idea what the exact purpose is.

<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank">

It's the screaming person in the background that makes it.

Hey, I remember that Target ad. It had me loling.

lol "huffer"

I wanted that barbie ; ;

lol "huffer"

Nigga wot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGTSChdJ-Dw

Huffer was funny back then too. of course when I was a kid I just thought it was funny that he could carry that trailer when he was like a quarter of optimus's size. now he is funny because his name suggests he abuses aerosols!

Wait til we get the obligatory repaints, Pipes, Syringe, and Freebase.

I want one called cokehead

Total competition for Pepsi Prime!

I want a Minicron?!!:notgood:

I just thought it was funny that he could carry that trailer when he was like a quarter of optimus's size.

I just like how it really doesn't make sense for him to be so much smaller. Animators were often too toy-accurate with the vehicles. I know there are shots of Cliffjumper's car being smaller than Jazz's and other things like that.

when I was a mid it made perfect sense to me =(

TK MADE A TYPO

You keany.

You keany.

NEG MADE A TYPO

give thek a bream karc

Mstaeks like taht shouldn't hapin if you dilagent with yoiur spellinggramour.

Still not final, waiting for painted images. It costs around 80 bucks, bleh, so I won't be owning it. I like the robot mode for the most part, legs look a little too hollow from the side though, and I still think the tank/car mode is a bit too abstract.

Money better spent on Protector, but still not a bad thing by any stretch.

Transformers was one of the coolest shows for me growing up. I miss the older series' :(

New interview about the video game says it could be "the last generation for a while"

Hmm. So, everything for the next few years outside of the movies is related to this game's story perhaps?

Dates are 2008 :o

I'm surprised there's such a big focus on "Cybertronian" designs since Hasbro's mantra for TFs has been REALISTIC ALT MODES, WE WANT TO KEEP THE REALISTIC ALT MODES YEAHHHHH for the last few years

OK SERIOUS OPINION TIME

OP ALT MODE looks kind of weird but I guess CYBERTRONIAN makes that ok right?

OP BOT MODE looks like they finally ended the TRUCK vs MUNKY debate and made him BOTH. Looks too beefy IN MY OPINION. But other than that its a pretty nice design. Maybe. Looks better than what we have seen for a while. (Hello movie op)

MEGS ALT MODE hilarious space tank boat

MEGS BOT MODE more like attack of killer triangle man

it's actually pleasantly surprising to me how much I don't care about this :zillayay:

it's actually pleasantly surprising to me how much I don't care about this :zillayay:

i am genuinely interested in this also

also i dont think the designs are bad really

just different

I don't think they're bad either, but they definitely don't get me excited at all. I don't like the excessively dark pallet used in the art and there's just nothing about it to make me interested. Which is nice because I think I'd rather just not care so I don't have to even worry about spending money on it.

In much sillier and nitpickier news, I don't like that Optimus has a Megatron gun.

I thought his Megatron cannon was weird too. Since the date on the drawing is so old he might not have kept that, he seems to just be rocking an axe in the trailer.

The BOTH MUNKY AND TRUK thing is not far off since the design is pretty close to "Transtech" Optimus, the canned post-BM line, where "Monkey Truck" was the exact school of thought. That + War Within pretty much equals this thing:



I like the designs but I'm not wowed by them. I'm just glad it's not a pure movie-style only thing, which is what I feared would happen with the franchise.

As for the game, I have no reason to care yet until I could actually play it, still don't have any of the fancy new consoles.

The legs kind of bug me but otherwise he looks good.

Yeah, what's up wit da legs?

WHY CAN'T STARSCREAM EVER HAVE NORMAL LEGS ANYMORE :mad: :mad: :mad:

<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank">

Yeah the legs on that starscream are horrible. there are some good elements to the design too but I definitely don't like the face, it's movie aesthetic seeping in and that bothers me in principle as well as just visually. I don't know, I have a feeling I'm pretty done with transformers, which is ok because I'm trying to cut all unnecessary spending out of my life anyway.

You know we're both going to fork out for the Protector set.

Classics Rodimus Prime. HE CALLS TO US, REGARDLESS OF PRICE~

I honestly am not going to.

Oh well.

Have any of you seen these?
http://www.crazydevy.com/
They're new parts to give Devastator show accurate leg articulation and a new head sculpt.

does prak post here anymore?

Merry Christmas, troll ^_________^

Me?

Yes you, you troll.

I don't see any other trolls in here. Must be talking to you

:popcorn:

$1 says Rebirth shows up next week, TM. You want in on this?

I bet my batman pog.

:ohgod:

I havent done anything to be a troll...

I just used to post a bit in 05(damn 4 years) and i just wondered if certain people were on.

Prak has been around sporadically lately, but yes, he's here.

Yep, same as he ever was.

Can't watch the trailer till I'm home. Nothing in-game still, I've heard.

Second trailer was good. Seeing what looks to be Omega Supreme was quite the surprise. The glowing on the formers is starting to grow on me a bit too.

This game looks pretty good from the trailers.

I feel like I can get into the designs.

Bumblebee <3

Still not super excited, but Omega Supreme and Trypticon is that?

WOW

Trypticon was my first thought as well due to design so it'd be cool if it was. Nice little nod to fans if not a cool former just to through in for fun.

Still not super excited, but Omega Supreme and Trypticon is that?

WOW

Yeah, looks like Trypticon.

But damn man, that Bumblebee. Looks like a really solid design. I'll hold off until I see the legs though, seems a few of these have WaCkYlEgS. LEGS LOOK FINE I AM GETTING EXCITED.

Still, Bumblebee is short, stocky and his vehicle mode is reminiscent of a VW Beetle. I really want this to be good 'bee is one of my favourite characters <3

Is this ps3 exclusive?

Trypticon was my first thought as well due to design so it'd be cool if it was. Nice little nod to fans if not a cool former just to through in for fun.

Nice nod to REAL fans you mean.

Friend of mine thinks he is a big fan because he liked the bay movies. When I heard Devy would be in rotf I was like HEY MAN DEVY IN ROTF THINK THEYLL FUCK IT UP? and he was like WHO?

:catman:

A few screens I found interesting when I slowed the trailer down.



A blurry picture of Ratchet who seems to have his EMP thingo from animated. Also Bee's legs.



Boring STANDARD Autobots. I guess these guys are the standard fodder. Optimus and Omega also pictured.



Slightly clearer shot of Ratchet doing his thang. BUMBLEBEES STINGERS FROM TF:A?



Nice solid legs there 'bee, can I buy you a drink. :swoon:



Megatron with random Autobot, Starscream and what looks like a constructicon in the corner.



Same picture Ktulu posted. Now smaller and grainier! Who is that behind soundwave? Probably Decepticon fodder. Maybe not though.



Interesting giant statue. Kinda looks like prime. Isn't prime.



Omega supreme kicking butt. Statue looking distinctly different to Optimus.



Ratchet, Bumblebee and a bot I couldn't identify but I am now pretty sure he is just a fodder robot. Look at the three bars of light on his shoulder.




THATS EVERYTHING I NOTICED

EDIT

CYBERTRON CAN TRANSFORM ITSELF

Nice nod to REAL fans you mean.

Friend of mine thinks he is a big fan because he liked the bay movies. When I heard Devy would be in rotf I was like HEY MAN DEVY IN ROTF THINK THEYLL FUCK IT UP? and he was like WHO?

:catman:

Devy?

Devy?

Devastator, bro.

Oh, Devastator. I couldn't get mad at the guy after all, Why would anyone shorten a name like Devastator to something like Devy?

<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank">

I didn't say Devy to him.

That changes things.

Possible constructicon in the game.

Whats your opinion, dude from 4chan?

That robot has G2 Skyjack's face. Interesting, considering that Hasbro has the name Sky"fall" registered, and just released a version of the character for Universe as a Silverbolt repaint. Maybe the 'Green' is really grey?

Although, I guess it could just be an angular take on Long Haul's face too.

If Silverbolt is in then do you think there will be other beast wars characters pre-beast form?

If I'm reading what you're saying wrong, ignore this:

Silverbolt was around before Beast Wars...

Leader of the Aerialbots...

I guess if it turns out this is based on the next series or something I'll give some thought to whether I care at all about it. Soundwave looks kinda cool from that one pic. Don't especially dig the other designs.
