Trying to think of who that statue is. Looks like a mustache but can't be sure.

Probably one of the original primes or Primus.

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

Silverbolt was around before Beast Wars...

Leader of the Aerialbots...

My TV viewing was controlled sporadically and sometimes I wasn't allowed to watch TF for whatever reason so Beast Wars was the 1 I "know well" because my sister loved it for the talking robot animals.

I understand, man. You can totally check out G1 stuff, now, though ^^

Whole slew of Beast Wars characters had their origins/namesakes in G1. That's probably an understatement.

Not saying you have to watch the eps, or anything. But knowing the history definitely has its advantages. Plenty of wikis out there, I'd imagine.

I'm not a super historian myself. I had to re-verse myself with a lot. I started with G1 and then wasn't into it again until the first movie revived my interest. So, I'm sure to say all kinds of stupid things about the Unicron Trilogy and RID and Beast Wars XD

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 tried to get that set when I was younger. I only got three of them, so I was able to assemble the lower body and an arm or something.

Anyone else ever wonder how some robots like Kup or Ironhide are "old" even though pretty much everyone is almost always depicted as being around at the beginning of the war as well?

Man...it's best not to think about things like that I guess. Maybe some of them have...troublesome energon addictions.

Well, there could have been a heck of a lot of time before the war for "older" bots to have seen.

Holy crap that picture brings back memories! I miss Generation 1 :'( That series was one of the defining aspects of my childhood :O

I tried to get that set when I was younger. I only got three of them, so I was able to assemble the lower body and an arm or something.

I got Longhaul on a birthday and then over the rest of the summer I managed to find 4 of them on clearance at various KB Toys and Toy R Us with the final 1 found at K-Mart for over full price but having only paid around $3 for each of them it didn't really matter.

<a href="http://s834.photobucket.com/albums/zz261/View_Meister/Samsung%20SL620/Toys/Transformers/?action=view¤t=SDC10263.jpg" target="_blank">

G1 has a cannon mode just like bayformers.

<a href="http://s834.photobucket.com/albums/zz261/View_Meister/Samsung%20SL620/Toys/Transformers/?action=view¤t=SDC10265.jpg" target="_blank">

It's kinda ironic that even though G2 has the more realistic color scheme for Devy (which in itself is ironic), most people prefer Constructicon green.

I know I do~

G2 also had orange flavor :D

I used to have G2 lemon flavored devy, I was never really happy with it though because I still wanted the lime flavor. :sad:

I had lemon Bonecrusher, but his legs broke :(

I'll have to go digging one day for the connecting pieces and Scavenger. Everyone else is on my dresser.

Man I dig this arts



It's like if the G1 Marvel art were done with a little more care and pizazz. Expressions are a little weird but overall style is my sorta thing.

i wants dat comics

Really don't want to pick up Bumblebee Comic to get the rest of the ongoing stuff though.

just pretend the idwverse ends at Revelations and it's all good

I like the idea of a target on G1 Blurr's head.

I kinda like Animated Blurr, tbh.

I just looked it up and animated Blurr was voiced by the micro machines guy. I though he sounded famliliur and when Robot Chicken did that one Mirco Machines skit I was pretty sure that was him.

Oh yeah, it was definitely him :D

I just found Animated Blurr much less annoying for some reason. Maybe he's the same and he just fits better in that context. I dunno :noonecares:

So, here's War for Cybertron Bumblebee in plastic:

Hasbro gave this to Game Informer: "In 2010, Hasbro will be introducing a limited assortment of Transformers figures tied to Activision’s War for Cybertron game. At this moment, this is all that we can share with you. We appreciate your understanding."

I couldn't be the only one who thought that the Autobot & Deceptacon logos had a 2nd face upside down. That fact that it looks like mythbusters it just a bonus.

Legs are too thin, torso is too thick or some combo of both.

MAybe it's just the pose making him look bowlegged

Kotaku made me lol in my pants.


Transformers: War For Cybertron is an upcoming video game based on a toy line. There's now going to be a toy line based on the game which is based on a toy line. Ah, cross-promotion.

Kotaku made me lol in my pants.

Kinda like how there is a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen novelisation of the movie based off the comic book based off of the old original novels.

Hmm.







Obviously a bit mistransformed

There's something about that Prime I just don't like. Megs is too Transformers Animated-y.

Also, if you take Prime's alt mode and paint it black it would look a lot like the classic 1940's-ish (give or take a decade) batmobile and the Batman Begins/the Dark Knight tumbler combined.

Looks slightly mistransformed.

I'd say the shoulders go up a bit more which would make him look less slumped. The kneeguards aren't folded up either.

It doesn't look bad but I'll wait for better shots.

First pics are always bleh in terms of transformation/posing, no matter what. Typically have to wait for fan galleries for the full potential to be unlocked.

Like this shit:





Toys I felt iffy about, now looking kinda neat

Is that the soundwave mold that came with the little hexbot.

Cause if so, they made that ugly toy look pretty awesome.

Naw that's new stuff, an updated Mindwipe for the movie line, but it's kind of pseudo-Classics

Naw that's new stuff, an updated Mindwipe for the movie line, but it's kind of pseudo-Classics

Still looks cool there :3

Its good to see you around ktulu <3

With transformers you don't always get a source accurate Bot mode &/or disguise mode.
Look at the beast wars guys, cheeta's with bodies as big around as they are long. Or maybe the star wars transformers who have great ship modes but look all durpy in robot mode becouse squeezing a human shap into a tie fighter is hard.

http://www.tfu.info/1996/Maximal/Lion/lion.htm Greatest toy ever

Mindwipe already looked cool to me, jftr :)

I was just iffy on him. He and Brawn both have tiny damn ankles, it turns me off. I was glad that they made them able to hold a regular position in place of chicken legs however.

News from the UK Toyfair (no pictures allowed)



WFC Optimus - looked bigger than deluxe, more like Voyager size

WFC Bumblebee - awesome vehicle mode, and even more awesome, metallic gold paint/plastic

Universe Seaspray - ultra sized I think, since it was bigger than ROTF Bludgeon that it was next to. Looks just like a huge version of the original Same blue and white and yellow for the turbines. Very nice.

Some new G1 style legends - I think I saw a jeep, Outback maybe? or Swindle?, It was khaki coloured but the view from the booth window was too far to see the smaller toys

Some kind of combiner - could have been power combiners, but looked to me more like it was built from Legends sized figures - and it was definitely not Devastator. One of the legs looked like a jet or shuttle of some kind. Could be a Legends Bruticus set? Was very lanky and with wiry limbs, but humanoid in shape.

Man. I hope Seaspray really does look good.

Urgh, like with the "2 foot Devastator" report last year, the SUPAR G1 Seaspray was bullshit:



It's. Movie. Style.

Looks horribly simple?

Not that the original wasn't, but it was a minibot...

I just feel dumb for believing it could've been a Classics version.

Oh, and WFC Optimus is not a voyager like that report said, but a deluxe. What the fuuuuck someone is a bit goofy in da head

:disgust:

Really not feeling WFC, at all ;;

Also - movie shit Seaspray is really a voyager instead of an ultra.

:ohgod::ohgod::ohgod::ohgod::ohgod::ohgod::ohgod:

That guy needs new glasses

Think they'll ever make the dick-cannon blender guy or the Mountain Dew machine?

SHIT IT'S THE GETH

Think they'll ever make the dick-cannon blender guy or the Mountain Dew machine?

Well they diiiid have a Robot Heroes version of Dispensor:



Dick cannon one I highly doubt, unless some adult-aimed statue company were to decide to do it.

Dick cannon?

I must have missed that.

Dispensor is adorable~

But I want one that transforms and can shoot little cans of mountain dew!

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/index.php/image/3120204-original.html)

I love this guy, not only can he have 2 or 4 arms but he has Samaji core dog, AT-PT, & Baby Dino modes along with the robot toaster.

BTW, my walmart and target have clreance stuff out. Target is pretty much picked over now but walmart has giant Bulkheads for under $17, white & black bayformers starscreams for $14, a boxset with a tiger jet & 2 legends sized bots, & that giant black Starscream from the classic line for $15.

Leader Bulkhead ftw, would be a smart purchase.

Giant black Starscream for $15 = god damn Skywarp, which used to be 60 bucks. Would also be a very smart purchase.

Wish I could find one for 15 dorrar, have to try to look

tom should buy it and mail it to you ktulu

Tiny ankles/clunky hoof feet, hands like 07 Wreckage, voyager prime, ROTF Dirge - etc, and who knows what the head really looks like in plain view

Definitely a movie-injected design, though I wouldn't say entirely

Leader Bulks is love. SNAG HIM.

I paid full price and I don't regret it, a bit.

Well I do already have voyager Bulkhead but if his leader can transform into walker mode I might think about it.
Thing is I've been waiting to get the first Revoltech Yotsuba and the Mass Production Eva unit for a while now and i probably should get them soon before I have to pay double on the secondary market.

i love gerwalk bulkhead

also love revoltech mp eva

He can sit on his...panels, like he does in the show! Does that count?

Lawl he has flippers

People are saying he's TOTALLY MEANT TO BE A CLASSICS TOY, but these say otherwise imo:




Probably nitpicking though, I guess, me and my ANTI-MOVIE CAMPAIGN OF HATRED

They are all sold out now so I guess I don't have to decide on anything now :/ I hope some kids got a few of them.

Predictable, really.

that is damn impressive.

They need to stop making excuses for not making modern combiners. It's clearly quite possible.

I might buy the rerelease of the Megazord. That's better than repainted Energon combiners, TO ME.

Also $20.

Just wish the megazord had any reasonable articulation

Hasbro/Takara should go ahead and hire the FansProject guys imo

No Megazords really do. Neither do G1 combiners, or even a lot of later ones, for that matter.

Doesn't bother me. It's a beautiful nostalgic brick <3

Just wish the megazord had any reasonable articulation

This would never happen in our universe I am sure, but if it did I might actually start buying stuff from them again.

I've seen that, it's smaller and slightly different than the original yet it's almost the same. Why didn't they just reuse the old mold if the detailing and joints aren't going to be improved? Perhaps the orignal was lost or something.

No mans not mine sorry

Real paint also, same person that did the cartoony G1 movie Prime

:D

I love this ; ;

man i thought it looked like a digibash because the yellow stickers on primes arm are CROOKED

I keep seeing the way the windows are painted and it makes me think the surfaces are really rough and that I'm going to grate my nails down it, and it gives me the willies.

;; Man, I think of weird stuff like this ;;

Hard to tell what's going on in a lot of those. I know having seen it, but it's so messy looking :(

it was hard to tell what was going on even seeing the actual movie.

I'd say so.

Cuckoo beat me to it. I was just going to say Considering the source material......

ha!

Check and mate, Neg. ;)

ha!

Check and mate, Neg. ;)



That looks like it'd be even harder to tell who's what peace than the Harry Potter wizard chess which has everyone dressed as a knight.

I had the chance to watch ROTF with a total non-TF fan (THE GENERAL AUDIENCE.) Questions arose every time a robot was on screen, such as "who's that?", "is that a good one?", and "what just happened?"

They still said THAT WAS SO GOOD at the end however. Whaaa

Well, I guess if you look at is as a teen sex comedy road trip movie with all the good stuff toned down so as to get the valued pg-13 rating that has bionicles with transformers names stuck to them and the US military jsut so there can be 'splosions I guess it'd be "SO GOOD".

No, not even then. There's something in the water supply....

Or the theatres' air ducts...

it's amazing they do more classics and I STILL can't care about them

I think Drift/Thrust are the only of these really considered Classics. Hopefully there will be more to it. A lot of shit is getting released under the simple "Transformers" banner in generic yellow boxes, which I'm not too into, especially since so much of it seems movie based, like not-really-Classics Seaspray.

HA Jazz will come with Lennox.

There's a bunch of other new movie stuff coming, surprise surprise, few new molds, lotta repaints. A new leader Prime w/ battle damage and hooks in his hands (forest battle look) will be released.

Apparently another "Generations" toy is going to be a fucking triple-changing Straxus from the G1 Marvel comics. Win. Hope he looks cool. Will be called "Darkmount" (lol mount) instead :(

PS this is Straxus



Powercore Bruticus is really called "Bombshock." They're going to release Constructicon and car-based (Autobots rather than Stunticons) combiners as well.

I'LL NEVER JOIN YOU

I don't have anymore Transformers pictures and right now the only TF I I'd want to get would be this 1...

An excellent short list, I'd say. He's big and cumbersome but still one of the best.

If you ever do track one down, consider the Japanese version for the long stacks, or maybe the original Hasbro one if not. The one pictured above is the second one they released, brighter in color and with goofy extras you don't really need.

He looks plastic. Aren't masterpiece all/mostly metal?

I've been out of the loop since being at the hospital every day, Youtube videos don't really load. The times I'm at home I'm too exhausted to care either. Last time I saw anything of him was when he was blocking everyone from watching him except his Euro-buddies

That's what I was referring to, yes.

I will add to this thread, the only two pieces of TF knowledge I care to share:

1) Starscream is the best name ever.

2) I painstakingly watched Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, waiting for Optimus and The Fallen to have nothing short of a climatic battle in which continents were levelled, and all I got was bitter dissapointment. :P

At least that art matches the """robot""" mode of the legends class figure.

World of Warcraft that shit is crazy!

i love those pages

awesome scene

Pat Lee is terrible, down with marshmallow bots

yeah I don't like his art much either. And that whole I AM A SOLDIER thing just seems silly and melodramatic imo.

Also it always annoyed the shit out of me that Devastator is that big. Makes no sense whatsoever.

optimus taking down devastator with one shot is cool guys shut up

I'm ok with what happened but that fucker can't draw, and he treated his employees like shit :(

his entire body is smaller than Devastator's head. He fires one shot at it and the whole thing goes down, even though it takes more than one shot to take down your average normal size Transformer.

NOT COOL

I like the idea of combiners ending up bigger than their component parts, because you know, synergy and teamwork.

WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF THE PARTS.

I grew up accepting that Menasor (cars for legs) is as big as Superion (jets for legs) so, you know, I don't make too much about the whole size thing. Size and Transformers is a...huge headache waiting to happen, best not to worry about it.

I have my breaking points though. Freakin midget-ass Universe Galvatron :(

I remember when I saw Demolishor in the ROTF trailer and I was imagining/assuming him an arm.

I was so excited ;;

MY DREAMS WERE DASHED.

Think of if this way, had he been an even more impressive size and still done just as little (rawr I suck up some things, climb a pyramid and get killed by off screen humans) it would have all sucked even more

I try not to think about ROTF at all, if I can help it ;)

It helps.

A LITTLE.

it's easier to accept that for me because it was necessary to have equally sized opponents. Making Devastator bigger than the brooklyn bridge or whatever bridge it was they showed him smashing... that is my breaking point.

I agree it's a little goofy but I know what they were going for. I'm just more turned off by how badly the dude draws, period. Proportions all over the place. PUFFY EVERYTHING.

window nipples

Devastator is bigger than the sum of his parts because he has parts that ain't part of the robots that form up his parts.

According to Pat Lee, such parts make up at least 80% of his body.

I like it when combiners don't need additional parts to combine.

Of course this is a plus the movie Devy's favor, so I wonder why I opened my mouth at all ;;

Movie Devastator's design wouldn't have been too bad, Robo-Rancor with Kirby death mouth but it could barely keep itself up was beaten by Hurp/Durp & nameless army guys off screen & the balls! God damn devastator balls!

I wonder if anything exists in this franchise that all of the posters in the thread enjoy the same. Hmm.

Cast your votes gentlemen.

Yeah MP Optimus is a pretty good candidate I would say. Can anyone who likes Transformers at all deny the awesomeness?

mp op

You mean this guy?



Keep in mind I don't "love" bayformer Ballistator, the formation of the arms and legs are really dumb I just think that the general shape ain't so bad if you really needed to change it from the original. Also Ejector is sweet.

Yes that's Masterpiece Optimus. Convoy technically since it has da long stacks, but YOU KNOW

Not quite sure why people insist on calling him "Convoy" Optimus Prime is much manlier and sounds more roboty.



Saw the cover of Toy Fair when I went to get cream of onion and it had Leader Sized movie Starscream.

Penguin Transformer = Break, jftr

People just call Convoys Convoy and Optimus Primes Optimus Prime, I figure.



Ghost MP Starscream is really coming :o

crazy people with too much money will buy this.

Yes indeed.

I often wonder what the hell the people that can afford everything do for a living.

Guys I just learned a terrible truth
Optimus Prime has a mouth.

well, ofcourse he does!

how else would he gives out the optimum smooches?

They based that on a G2 comic when he was battle damaged and you could see some of the skeletal structure underneath. Just a goofy easter egg, especially since you have to disassemble the head to really see it.

Pretty impressive they'd do something like that.

Is that Bumble Bee & Starscream having a picnic?

well the bayformers suck pretty bad as far as designs. i can only hope they get it right the third time. looking forward to seeing a live action Unicron devouring a living planet in real time!!

i can only hope they get it right the third time.

Get ready to be disappointed!

Yep

Meanwhile:

Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

But didnt they already do classics sideswipe?

Yeah that's a custom alternators one using the Mirage/Rodimus body. I don't like the head much but it kind of works.

yeah it was part of the classics line which they suddenly stopped for the movie toys. I hope they restart it again. maybe we'll get wheeljack, trailbreaker and jazz to round out the original 84 autobots. Blitzwing to round out the triple changers and Scourge.

So.. any speculations on which transformers will Bay screw up in the third one?

Yes the same thing happened with the newer cartoon. The stores didn't order any more animated stuff so they could clear their stock for the movie line so hasbro looked that their sales and said Hey animated isn't selling any more, lets just ignore the fact that the show itself has been getting decent ratings and the fact that the toys are selling at a steady pase and just cancel the show and not make anymore toys from it."

I hope they restart it again. maybe we'll get wheeljack, trailbreaker and jazz to round out the original 84 autobots. Blitzwing to round out the triple changers and Scourge.


A few pages back I posted ToyFair pictures where they showed the first few Classics figures for this year, called Generations this time. They're doing two comic-only characters, Drift and Straxus, and releasing a version of Henkei Thrust. I think the video-game figures we're getting are going to be released under that subline as well. I figure more will be revealed later.

sorry if this is the wrong thread i just wanted to know if you guys wanted to have phone sex with my mom

Last time I was at target I saw a guy called "Wideload" and thought "Hey, he really does beep when he backs up cuz he's a moving van or something."

I need to start finding good deals on MyClones

I have the roddy one! I forget how much it was, but it wasn't too bad. found it on ebay.

Cool stuff maing. I know there are a few that are pretty rare. I hate to find out the asking price on those.

It's Bumblebee time



I wish Volkswagen would've OK'd the Alternators one:



It's certainly a better design than the new Alternity version, yeesh

PS It's Goldbug IRL:

Is that why he's a camaro now?

I have the vac sealed one back to the left.

Partly. VW doesn't want to be associated with Transformers (lulz) and GM offered Michael Bay free use of their vehicles.

I saw the email for that pre-order the other day way before it showed up on TFW, coulda had me some news credits, lawl. THE EVER COVETED NEWS CREDIT.

Double postin, COZ.

Revenge of the Fallen is officially The Razzies' WORST PICTURE OF 2009 winner, lawl. It won for Worst Director and Worst Screenplay as well.

Good job!

(I recognize those awards have always been about stirring shit and having fun, don't worry, I'm not taking it seriously)

This is Meowptimus Prime. He prefers Meow-Meow Prime.

hee hee cute. I guess in combined form he'd be toyko mew mew prime.

I heard that a animated series called "Prime" is in the works. I'm guessing that it will focus on either Optimus before he became leader or a whole new leader. Japan is getting animated..It's gonna be interesting to see what they do with it. seeing how they created two series (Beast Wars 2nd and Neo) when they got Beast Wars. so the TF ball is back in thier court now.

I suspect one of the Triple changers will be in the third movie.

The first image of BB from "Prime" shows us that...



...it's going to be fucking movie inspired. Sigh. I'll give it a chance but I am majorly disappoint.

Well I know Bulkhead is going to be re-characterised as Ironhide. It's a crying shame they won't jsut continue the other cartoon and instead make a movie cartoon. Maybe the designs won't be as retarded looking as they are in the movies I mean they couldn't possibly put as much over detail into a cartoon could they?

And our first look at Botcon's exclusives:



They're doing a G2 theme, lawl. Looks dead on.

Bumblebling. mir.

Goldbug.

Man, fuck transformers.

God why?

I think this is just a fan blue prints but maybe it's real.

G2 is hilariously awesome, don't hate.

The Cosmos is indeed fanmade

ktulu i misread that as female and was like

how can you tell?

Ktulu, Neg wants you to buy a PS3 (I'm sure not a 360, but I don't care) and Final Fantasy XIII for the transforming summons called Eidolons. He's been shitting his pants with excitment over them.

Is he seriously talking to me via proxy?

YOU TELL HIM THAT IF HE WANTS ME TO HAVE A PS3 HE CAN BUY IT HIMSELF

ktulu, chewey told me to tell you that tk said that sarah said u r 2 cute :3

He text me.

He text me.

Was it BFF Jill?

I went to the local comic shop today, first time in a while. It has a new owner and he's turned the place around big time. Last time it was super lame, looked like it wouldn't last. It's doing well now.

It was interesting, there were people just standing around talking about Transformers when I got there, I of course joined in, and as more people came into the store, the conversation just kept growing. Every damn customer was into Transformers, kinda lulz. I ended up in there for like four hours :o

haha, that is awesome ktulu! I hope you were in good company and not a bunch of Bay lovers.

There was only one guy that liked the movie stuff, and even then he only liked the toys. Was actually a good conversation. We hit some other subjects too, of course.

I MIGHT GO MORE OFTEN LOL

ktulu man

when we were still together gemma decided to buy me a transformer

we went to the toy aisle for classics cyclonus

some dude was like G1 CYCLONUS WAS BETTER I HAVE LOADS OF G1 TRANSFORMERS G1 etc etc

I said "Ok" and continued shopping :D

Lawl

I've only had an in-store conversation with another collector once. I saw him literally weighing Universe Powerglide and Onslaught against each other in his hands like a scale, trying to figure out which to get. I figured I'd help him pick the right one - Onslaught. Talked a bit after. Wasn't anything goofy, pretty casual, normal stuff.

There have been other things like helping parents out (I get asked questions (such as WHICH ONE OF THESE IS THE GOOD GUY) randomly sometimes, as if I work in the section) but no fan to fan interactions.

He was really loud.

Like loud enough that other people started watching.

A parent asked me questions in the TF aisle one time too, he wanted to know about the Titanium figures and if they were good toys for kids (no.)

I got a comic shop, does well but no one is hardly ever in there. Every once and a while like during free comic day the guy that writes the KOTOR comic drops by but I really didn't care for them that much so I've been hesitant to attend and the owner has asked me 3 times to come by.

I wish people would ask me about what they should get more often. I wish I had mad money so I could do some serous donating stuff.

Collecting cells would drive me crazy. They're kinda the same as each other yet slightly different and there's only one of each. I have a hard enough time deciding which pictures that I took to post I'd go mad if I had to make a decision on buying something like that.

I know that the frames from the droids and ewoks toons with characters and vehicles get really pricey also a cell with Rei Ayanami's naked breast went for over I think $5,000.

Is it just the orginal series? If so what isn't huge spoilers are huge lies about which robots are gonna be in the show.

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/index.php/image/3523988-original.html)

Blur's got a chainsaw and Ironhide as well as RC are depicted as main players.

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/index.php/image/3523987-original.html)

Blackarachnia fighting RC udber water?
Also were's Sari?

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/index.php/image/3523991-original.html)

Come to think of it all the really good stuff is only in like, 3 episodes at best; Dinobots, Blackarachnia, Wreckgar, average joe Constructacons, Waspinator, George Takei Ninja bot.

Maybe if it does well enough they'll make some new seasons.

Many anime intros are like this, with their own isolated scenarios, hence my description "typical anime style." There's no "lies about what robots are in the show" - these characters are all in, they're just not all main characters. It's not a big deal.

A similar example of an American show getting a really amped up anime intro is the X-Men animated series:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCWvWZVVNH0 - Best to bask in the awesome instead of bitching what's not "right"

Blurr's axe is from his toy, ftr. Same as Arcee's swords.

You're right about the lies but it's slightly miss leading when characters who make brief cameos are in the openings as prominent players.

Given the fact that in the voice-over business in Japan they rarely change the actors for characters will these guys be voiced by the same cast as G1, Beast Wars, Bayformers?

Don't know about the cast right now personally, but one interesting thing - Takara has often tried tacking on this or that different version of Transformers onto another existing continuity. They're pushing Animated into the movie continuity...somehow...it's kind of goofy. Interesting note - usually Optimus is called "Convoy" in Japan, but in both their movie dubs and Animated, they just kept him as Optimus.

It's not like Hasbro is totally innocent, they forced Cybertron into a sequel to Armada/Energon for the dub despite it being written as a new story entirely. It worked especially poorly with the Autobots obviously having never been to Earth on that show, despite being based here for the 10 years between Armada and Energon. wut

I guess they'll make it happen way after the movies it being a near future and all. And I guess they could change the script so that Optimus and co. aren't lossers but retired or something.

Is the Japanese version of Jazz a black guy, the Japanese version of the black guy or was the jive talk just in the American version?
