Pictures, albeit tiny ones, of character models from the movie and a little bit of concept art. Some of this is new. For example, Jazz is shown to have a sword for the first time.

haha. Awesome pictures, Ktulu.


Man, it really depresses me how all of the new news about Transformers is about the movie ones. There is nothing else now. =/

Yep, but I suspect after the movie there'll be lots more info about TF Heroes. Maybe this year's Botcon will finally show us some designs or something. Hoping to hear something concrete about whether or not Alternators and Classics will continue as well.

Yeah, that would be nice. I keep forgetting there is even a new series in the works at all.

I keep forgetting there is even a new series in the works at all.

news to me :O

details plz.

Haven't you been reading the thread? O_o

It'll be called "Transformers Heroes." Supposedly the version of Optimus in it is going to be a younger, less experienced one. And I think he's supposed to be a firetruck. And it'll be the first TF series since Beast Wars to get made in the US. Those are all the details I can recall, I imagine Ktulu probably remembers more.

I'm a little nervous about it, to be honest, 'cause I can imagine it easily turning into one of those "let's immitate anime" shows that I hate. But I'm crossing my fingers.

i have, but i guess i missed the posts or something :(

a younger Optimus sounds pretty intresting actually.

What I remember off the top of my head is:;

Confirmed characters - Optimus, Prowl, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream.

Alleged confirmed voice actors:

David Kaye (usual Megatron) as Optimus

Tom Kenny as Starscream

As a US produced show, apparently Cartoon Network will have more say in the direction, with the Teen Titans team working on it

Keep in mind all of this is early and subject to change, and it's always possible some of it is purely rumor at this point.

hey guys how does optimus come back i dont remeber the episodes after the movie

Kaye as Optimus D:

thats going to take some time to get used to.

Why, Megatron isn't the only voice he can do. I imagine whatever he comes up with will be exactly what the character should sound like.

Hasbro speaks on why Star Wars Transformers turned out the way they are rather than the cool line people expected (ie vehicles that turn into Optimus and Starscream):

CC: Could you please describe the marketing strategy for the Star Wars Transformers line? Obviously, there is a lot of overlap between the two fan bases. I for one am as likely to bore my friends for hours on end describing the Hegellian dialectic operating in the Transformers Movie as I am to discourse on the Roman historical parallels at work in the Star Wars saga. That being said, why didn't we see a greater synthesis in this hybrid line? Maybe a Sith would be so narcissistic as to want to drive a giant robot with his own augustan likeness, but it seems to me that a simple headswap could have had Starscream transforming into an Imperial Shuttle. Did you conduct market tests that showed six-year-old boys preferred vehicles that turned into giant versions of Star Wars characters rather than Transformers that turned into Star Wars vehicles? I'd wager that the 35 year old collector market would have enjoyed the latter.

H: Excellent question and one of the decision points we were faced with when our Star Wars R&D team created the idea for the line. We very clearly kept the Star Wars Transformers line focused on the *functional* aspect of transformation rather than an intellectual property (IP)-based transformation to deliberately not confuse the "real" Transformers storyline. This was especially important considering the upcoming Transformers movie this Summer. For the same extent, we have not as a company pursued any GI Joe-vs-Transformers toys even though the cross-over comics have been very successful. It's keeping the communication very clear from a kid standpoint, which was our primary focus. Believe it or not, we did not factor the collector very heavily into the SW TF line thinking at the beginning, since we were not confident that collectors of either Star Wars or Transformers would be converts to the line. Since this super-cool line has been well-received by both kids and collectors alike, you have seen us delve a little deeper to deliver more collector-focused concepts like transforming Imperial Shuttles, Clone Wars deco-vehicles, and Snowspeeders to deepen the collecting and playing experience.

Want that candy.

Why, Megatron isn't the only voice he can do. I imagine whatever he comes up with will be exactly what the character should sound like.

oh, i dont at all doubt his ability. im just so accustomed to Kaye doing the voice of Megs.

Fair enough then







Hasbro really should have done more Stunticons

BUT WHO AM I TO SAY HOW THEY SHOULD RUN THEIR TOYLINES

Who are you indeed.

I personally think they should continue to enjoy their vacation time, as seen here:

Pictures of the frozen Megatron toy

hey guys how does optimus come back i dont remeber the episodes after the movie

Yes he does, after some hate energy engulfs the entire Earth. The headmasters series was the last I covered after the original, as far as I'm concerned all the other stuff IS NOT the transformers I knew as a kid, rather some alternate dimension crap.

Highly abbreviated, but:

Prime first came back in the episode "Dark Awakening" when the Quintessons stole the body from the Autobot's morgue and reanimated him to use him against the other Autobots. He ultimately regained his own consciousness, though his body was falling apart (this episode is famous for being pretty moody, especially with Prime being all zombied up) and flew himself into the trap the Quintessons had hoped he'd lure the Autobots into.

Even though he was apparently completely destroyed then, some human explorers recovered his body before the ship crashed into the sun. The ship they used to recover the body in was infected by a solar plague during the explosion, one that caused immense violent behavior in anyone, transformers included, that it infected. One of the humans hated all transformers in general, Autobots included, blaming them on a crippling accident to his daughter, and used Optimus' body to lure in the Autobots and spread the plague to them in hopes of causing them to destroy themselves. The remaining uninfected Autobots, Sky Lynx, Bumblebee, Kup, Blaster, and Steeljaw used a Quintesson to fully restore Optimus' life in hopes of using his wisdom and leadership to find a cure for the rapidly spreading plague. An alloy was created to prevent him from being infected, and eventually after a battle with the infected Rodimus he regained the matrix and used it's combined wisdom to reverse the plague, beginning a short term of peace between the Autobots and Decepticons.

That's how the damn show should have ended rather than the horrible 3 part season 4 :o

I bet the new Prime is going to be all emo and shit.

hey guys missed me
this is the end of the road galvetrion lol

According to IGN


March 21, 2007 - This Thursday's weekly PlayStation Store update is made up almost entirely of movie trailers (Transformers, Bee Movie, and Shrek the Third), but that doesn't mean that videogames have been left out of the equation. SEGA of America will release the three different mission packs for Sonic the Hedgehog -- one each for Sonic, Silver, and Shadow.

This will be for the PS3. I'll let you guys know if it's a new trailer or the old one. I'm crossing my fingers for a brand new trailer.

Cool Mark

You can tell because I don't drink Pepsi, wouldn't pay that much for it if I did, wouldn't buy random meat, and the instructions are open in the background. I don't use those.

Sorry to disappoint, but it was the old trailer. *sighs*

Too bad.

Target Skywarp/Ultra Magnus 2 pack is about 7-8 dollars off now. Of course they wait till about a week after I get mine, haha.

Two toys for 12-13 bucks is a great deal if any of you guys are interested. If your Targets don't have any and you want me to look for you, just let me know.

Wal-Mart got a nice inventory of deluxe TF classics today. Now I have Grimlock! I passed on Ramjet and I'm kinda iffy about cliffjumper. As for the movie trailer, it's kinda nice to watch it on a TV screen in HD, even though I only have a 20' 420i. :(

I'd love to have a 20 inch tv of my own, even if it was only 420i, so hey

So it appears that Hugo Weaving will be playing Megatron. This really pisses me off because every time I hear him speak I have this problem with hearing in the back of my head, "Mr. Anderson" at the end of every sentence. It's going to be hard for me to watch this movie with his voice now.

what, that's bullsheit! (Hugo).

what, that's bullsheit! (Hugo).

Agreed.

Also, I kinda do hope Will Smith gets the part of Jazz since he auditioned for it.

I hate typecasting actors so his other work won't bother me if Hugo Weaving is Megatron. I can't tell you how much that sort of thing gets on my nerves, such as when the Prestige was out and one of my jackass roommates was calling it the Batman Vs. Wolverine movie. That's the very thing many actors that take big roles hope to avoid. It won't bother me that he was in the Matrix since he's had other roles in other huge movies. I don't think you should hold his casting in the Matrix against him.

That news doesn't seem official or concrete, so I won't fully believe it yet either way.

If the movie version of Megatron was anything like the TV series version of Megatron, I guess I could understand you beng upset at the possibility of it not being Frank Welker... but come on. Why? Why would you care what voice that horrific looking jumble of spikes and garbage dump piles has?

Hugo Weaving can do a lot of voices though.

Michael Bay:

"Almost a 100 days left. I guess I should start posting every week? I've been working my ass off - the cut is really coming along -the shots ---awesome. Some of the most difficult renders in ILM history. Sometimes up to 38 hours per frame. The Show West thing was fun to see the scenes play in a 1000 person house. But they just saw 25 minutes so it is hard to feel engaged because they are not seeing the full run of a movie. Harry called me to tell me how he loved it. I see all the dickwad talk back people who claim they have read a finished script. Impossible - I kept the only draft for the last two months before shooting. That's where did major retooling to the script - yes the scene beats are similar but a very different script. We are still writing the robot voices. They talk about just 20 minutes of action at the end - yeah right. This is by far the most action I have ever put into a movie - I have 12 huge set pieces. Boy I get tired of these lame cry babies on the net.

Can you imagine the Composite Weaving? Combine all those characters he played as and you get some mythical Cthonian Beast.

Another voice actor rumor: Keith David (Gargoyle's Goliath, Spawn in the HBO cartoon, the dad in Something About Mary, creepy black guy in Requiem For A Dream, and a hundred other awesome things) as Barricade

He has a really strong voice and is a good actor, so I'd be totally ok with that casting. Plus, he's an actual voice actor despite being a screen actor as well, not just a random Hollywood star for the sake of throwing a big name in.

I would be thrilled for Keith David being in anything. <3

Have you heard him on the Gargoyles commentary?

Don't have those DVDs yet sadly

Maybe I can get a job soon for hawt item buying

If I can figure out how to rip the commentary sound from them, I will try and get voice clips. He is hilarious and everyone should hear as much.

so it looks like MySpace has a Transformer movie promo in the upload pics page. "Transform your pics" or something. You get to choose your side: Protect or Destroy.

also according to IESB.net Frank Welker will voice a transformer in the movie... No word on which character it will be, but not Megatron....

Autobot My little pony!

Lawls I've seen that before. Optimus Pony.

Those faces look a bit wretched to me in profile. The detail is great and all but the design just rubs me the wrong way. Prime looks kind of cool but the section for his eyes is really strange looking.

So Mark, lol, Autobot or Decepticon?

Autobot, yo. Autobot. *nods*

I just can't figure out that whole transform your photo thing.

Autobot.

Yeah, just leads back to the TF Myspace eh

Now I figured out what bothered me so much about my classic deluxe Grimlock. His head looks more like a dog then a t-rex. It's been bugging me for a week

I'm not terribly fond of it, but I don't dislike it either. I've learned to like it I suppose. The T Rex design is based on a much more modern concept of how T-Rex's may have really looked, so that's cool. I'm obviously more partial to the original, boxier look, but that's just nostalgia bending me over and having it's way.

Yeah, I don't actually think his beast mode looks too great, but I'm so keen on the robot mode it doesn't really matter to me.

USA Today has apparently confirmed that Hugo Weaving is the voice of Megatron.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2007-03-26-transformers_N.htm

Seems odd for the first 'official' announcement of it to be there

AICN claims to have direct confirmation from the studio about it. Looks like it's true.

I'm actually pretty intrigued by the idea.

Nice Megatron.

Those aren't dents look at the Pics above both posters have them as well as Megtron has a Second set along his 'Ear' near the lower Face plate I think they are meant to be there wether as the Designers mark or some in House joke I don't know.

I have to ask why does Primes eyes look evil? I mean yeah sure they look like what you expect an intelligent robot would have but still savior of the Humans looks like he is getting ready to blast us. Fits with Megatron though. By the way what is Megatrons form? I have seen some of the toys and he turns into a Jet it looks like but is that Movie backed or just Toy designers?

People who own that Megatron suck because I said so.

Michael Bay wanted the Transformers' eyes to look like turbines, as he didn't like the classic look, that's why they look like that, end of story.

Megatron apparently has an as of yet undisclosed Earth alternate mode in the movie, but I'm not sure if that's true. The toy pictures you've seen aren't of a design just for the toyline, it'll be seen in the film as well, it's his natural Cybertronian alt mode.

Ah thanks too bad they can't do the old school Pistol that would rock big time though Megatron could end up with a Mobile Artillery piece like the Kind put onto trains and Trucks. Or maybe an experimental Magentic rail gun you Know the Millitary are working on.

I'm sure Megatron will probably have some sort of arm cannon still, from the concept art we've seen it would appear they all have guns or melee weapons of some kind that are hidden in their bodies somewhere such as the forearms.

I think the eyes look reasonable. As for the earth mode, I guess we don't get to see it until the end of the movie as I predicted a few pages back. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-tongue.gif

I think the eyes are too beady and the area around them is a mess

I'm loling.

"fart knocker"

I have to ask why does Primes eyes look evil?

Because the design philosophy of this movie is "make everything look evil. Things are only cool if they look evil." Hence all parts of all the robots look evil.

Would be so much better if they left the original designs in.

I don't care that they're different, but they could've put more effort into making them sleek/stylish rather than random heaps of parts.

That's odd, wouldn't proving yourself to be the biggest TF fan involve loathing of the movie

lololol I made a funny.

Not really, it'd be assumed that the biggest fan would eat anything TF related up no matter what, though in reality they'd probably be the most prone to bitching about everything. I posted at TFW how awesome it'd be if the person that wins just goes to the trip and starts giving everyone hell about the designs and such as soon as they walk in the ILM doors.

i still love the original go hot rod
im curious after optimus is reserectted does he get the matrix back

In the US version of the cartoon Optimus Prime is the leader again once he's resurrected, and is still the leader when the series ends. In the Japanese cartoon Headmasters, Prime (Convoy) is the leader until he sacrifices himself to merge with Vector Sigma when it becomes unstable. In the Japanese G1 storyline he does return much later as Star Convoy however.

Jazz and Ratchet are two designs I don't mind from the movie. Ratchet's head is pretty goofy but the body in robot mode is one of the better ones. I always figured if I got any of the toys it'd be him. Otherwise I pretty much don't like the rest, though I do believe the Autobots in general look a little better than the Decepticons. They got REALLY wacky with those designs.

Ktulu, I'm enjoying the new footage. I think some of my doubt in Starscream are starting to fade now that I'm able to see him in action. But things can always change once the movie comes out.

What a wonderful costume

I still don't like the designs but at least the animation on the bots is looking good, you can tell ILM put some real effort into it.

great news

The Botcon exclusive toys are the rest of the classic seekers. If you want Classics Thundercracker, Thrust, and Dirge, expect to pay horrific fucking prices.

:(

Don't know if it's real but apparently these are in Wal-Mart computers as upcoming Titaniums:

SHOCKWAVE 65356927056
COSMOS 65356927057
BUMBLEBEE 65356927459
ARCEE 65356927460
WW BRAWL 65356927461

That would explain what happened to the classics ideas for those characters, I suppose.

Here's praying they don't fuck them up like they did Magnus and Soundwave, if they are in fact coming out at all.

It makes me wonder if Classics will completely halt forever, with Titanium taking it's place full on.

Either way, the rest of the seekers being Botcon exclusives really makes me mad :( They're gonna be so damn expensive. Getting the exclusive set from last year usually costs 600 dollars or so.

does it sound the same metallic coolness as the old voices?

I haven't seen the movie.

Megatron's voice is not the same (Hugo Weaving rather than Frank Welker), but Optimus is voiced by the same actor that portrayed him in the original cartoon (Peter Cullen.)

This has all already been covered in the thread.

Oh, my mistake.

hey ktulu i may see the new movie but the original is still the best

Optimus voice changer in package, obviously. You can see what phrases it has preset on it.



Non transforming Megatrannnn

hey ktulu i may see the new movie but the original is still the best

I agree. I remember watching the series when i was a kid a wondering what a live action movie would look like. there it is.

I finally got around to seeing the tv spots. Honestly, I don't think it's looking half as bad as I was afraid it would. I'm still hesitant to say that it might actually be decent, but I'm hoping for it.

Michael Bay really only shines with action sequences, so if it's got enough good ones, it should at least be good on the whole shallow popcorn movie front. I don't think it'll be pure crap or anything, but then, I try to as positive as I can these days. Still don't like those damn designs very much, but if they're being animated that well throughout the whole film, and I do have faith in ILM's work, then at least it'll look believable enough for all the people that need their hands held when watching a sci-fi/fantasy film not to dismiss it immediately, giving it a chance to succeed. Even with all the odd choices this film has, I'd still like it to succeed, just because, no matter how different it is, it is Transformers, and I'm a life long fan, so I'd hate to see people completely balking at it across the board.

Don't know if others have done it already but I found out you can put Jetfire's forearm missle launchers on the large back cannons

Whao, I had no idea.

Neither did I. I'll have to check that out when I get home today.

Whao, I had no idea.

Haha, did it really excite you?



GI Joe COBRA Transformer apparently. No robot mode picture yet.

Wait, are they actually making a line based on the GI Joe vs TF comics? O_o

I don't think so, I think it's just a nod, kind of like Energon Snow-Cat. In the recent interview with Hasbro about Star Wars TFs, they mentioned the same as they didn't want to mix TF and Star Wars literally, i.e. X-Wing Starscream (which would've been way better), they don't necessarily want to create a full on Joe/TF line. I don't know why, it'd be great.

I imagine there might be some more Gi-Joe/Transformer bots in Titanium at some point though

hopefully. I guess it seems like they are continuing the titanium line, at least a little.

What do you guys think about the Welker news? I think it'll be a weird conflict between the game and movie, but it's cool that he still gets the role in a sense.

I couldn't care less, honestly. I will never play the game, and even if I did, it wouldn't matter to me to hear Megatron's voice on a hideous walking jumble of random spikes and pipes. I mean I didn't even care who voiced him (or Optimus, or anybody else) in the movie because I just don't care about it at all anymore. As far as I'm concerned it is some random Michael Bay movie about a bunch of ugly robots I am not at all familiar with. There's no reason for this movie to be called "Transformers." They should have called it DOOMSDAY ROBOTS or something and just abandoned the title, since they abandoned everything else related to the series.

ok then :(

haha sorry, I took advantage of your question to do more ranting. Wasn't really aimed at you. ^_^

This is out now. Kind of makes me mad how they milked the Classics line with filler stuff like this and the mini-cons and other Legends repaints when it would've been much better to spend that money producing wide released of the other Decepticon jets rather than just making them crazy expensive Bot Con exclusives :o

Yeah. All the LoC repaints are just terrible. I sense a major dry spell.

You picked the right time to go on a vacation from collecting, dude. :O

For sure. For the rest of the year I'll probably just try to find decent prices online for the Cybertron/Energon stuff I missed every now and then, maybe buy one a month or something. I need to take it easier than I have been, I just can't afford throwing all my money away on this stuff, especially when I don't even have space for all of it. My new school is also hilariously expensive.

Yeah. As soon as I get a paypal account which I have been planning to do forever but still haven't done, I'm gonna adopt the same strategy. Almost nothing new will be coming out that I want so I will start with the ebayin'.

If you have a debit card you can just use that for paypal and not have to pay the fee it charges you if you sign up directly with your bank account.

I imagine the next TF cartoon will bring some good toys our way again, unless it adapts the movie style, sort of like X-Men comics did for so long after the current films came out.

what do you mean? Like you can use it by putting in your debit card number and pin without actually having a paypal account ?_?

Well you make an account, username and password, but you can pay for items with your debit card rather than having it set up to come directly from the checking account, which is their whole "verified" option. They take out fees (small ones though) if you use the "add bank" checking account option, but the other way is free to use. Most eBay sellers don't care either way.

Yes.

Swindle is probably a toyline only character. I like his head but the rest :( Chicken legs ftl



DRESS YOU UP

WOW! Los Angeles is just 4 hours south of me. I want to drive there and steal this.

Pretty cool ad campaign, definitely grabs attention

I would like to think they are constructing that tower purely to hang the banner from.

TARGET EXCLUSIVE REPAINT THATS DAMN NEAR THE SAME OMG MUST GET LOLOLOL

Dear God, Optimus has lips!

For someone who loves (or hates) Transformers, you should check out Clerks 2. It's really funny. They make fun of Transformers in there... lolz.

You didn't know Optimus was going to have a regular mouth in most scenes already?

ducky chan, wow, great collab!

I already knew about the regular and battle mode. I just didn't realize his mouth would look so... chin-less. He reminds me of Rafiki

Lawl. They really do look shit.

Also: Damn Peter Cullen's range has gotten soooo much deeper over the years

Aww, I wish I could play this game...

Lawls, Mugen. Optimus is very popular in Mugen fighters.



DS movie game

Apparently the next cartoon is called Transformers: Animated now rather than Heroes. Wha???



NIKE CONVOY, TRANSAFORM!!!!!!!!





Getting this for sure

I just got Cliffjumper, Grimlock and Mirage. ^_^

I don't have cliffjumper. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-sad.gif

I don't have Jetfire.

Yet.

Also, any other autobots I am missing?

I have

Optimus
Rodimus
Bumblebee
Cliffjumper
Mirage
Grimlock <3

Buy the Decepticons you bitch

Aside from Jetfire you're missing the versus set Optimus and Ultra Magnus

Mark - Unless you really want a red Bumblebee with ugly silver patterns, Cliffjumper could happily be skipped

Magnus, if you count ugly repaints
Deluxe Optimus, if you count ugly... deluxe Optimuses

Nothing important though.

EDIT: beated by ktulu

Nothing important except Megatron, Starscream, Skywarp, Ramjet and Astrotrain :(

I'm still so upset that I'll have to pay crazy prices to finish the Classics line off given the upcoming Botcon exclusives

Yeah. I'd be upset if I really wanted them. Fortunately for me I don't.

I really like those characters so :(

Magnus, if you count ugly repaints
Deluxe Optimus, if you count ugly... deluxe Optimuses

Nothing important though.

EDIT: beated by ktulu

I have deluxe optimus, I think.

Pix?

Also

I haven't seen magnus anywhere.

I just have
Classic Deluxe
Optimus
Rodimus
Grimlock
Mirage
Starscream

Titanium
War Within Optimus
Megatron
Mexican
Rodimus Prime

I have deluxe optimus, I think.

Also

I haven't seen magnus anywhere.

Magnus is a "Target exclusive."

Deluxe Optimus comes in the 2-pack with deluxe Megatron (the tank version.)

Do they sell that in australia?

Dear God, Optimus has lips!
Liptimus Prime. :p

Beats me!

I mean I don't know how they could since the place is upside down. It would just fall right off the shelves. But I suppose they could use glue.

What are you talking about?

Gravity goes up.

Which keeps everything down.

The Classics VS. sets have showed up in Brisbane for sure, not sure about anywhere else.

Also, we talked about all of this the last time we were in the chat together, how could you forget so quickly :(

Optimus' real voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdQraPZjKjI

Yeah, a lot of people were voting for that on the "write a line for Optimus" contest, as well as "Do a Barrel Roll!"

Apparently a lot of movie figures are hitting retail, Bumblebee, Jazz, and Brawl for example





:o







Robot mode is tubby sort of but I still think it's one of the better movie designs



And this guy is out in Japan now

MORE SUPER KAWAII ROBOT HEROES

Autobot Jazz wouldn't look so bad if they were able to extend his torso and legs a little more.

The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1_6D9QS9Y&NR=1).

"And that's what you'll be called from now on: Gold Bug!" is actually from the episode :D

The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1_6D9QS9Y&NR=1).

You know what makes it so funny? Because it's true. lol.

Who the fuck is this autobot?

"He can stay behind and guard the base!"

The ration of shit he gives HOT ROD had me rofling, too.

Gold Bug is Bumble Bee with a new paint job, so to speak, Smarties.

Blaster, Aww shit wassup you mutherfucker.

What you mean man? Blaster wasn't a bastard!


Never had as a kid :sad: ^

Never owned a toy as a kid, I did own those videogames though. You know the ones with the blocks, "99 in 1", and those pinball ones, also one with ninja throwing stars, then I got a playstation then I knew what gaming really was.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The part where he names Kup piece of shit had me rofflin'. The rest was just okay.

More Robot Heroes monkey jizz

hey guys wuzz up im so happy because i beat kingdom hearts 2 and i love the transformers movie go hot rod ( im watching it on windows media player)lolololol im a goof

Go away.

lololol prak ur such a goof i love transformers lololol ollololol goof

The one time I finally go to Toys Us to pick up Bumblebee, they're all out. Boo!! In fact they hardly had anything at all. They must be getting ready for the movie figures.

Why did you wait so long for bumblebee?

He is like the best mould out of the classics line.

Probably so Mark. I'd check Wal-Mart, they seemed to have been stocking Classics rather heavily.

News crap:

MP-6 will be Skywarp

Along with the pajama bottoms from before (that I haven't seen) Target is selling Transformers socks now.

New TM has been made for Optimus LIME, wtf is that

Optimash Prime is being sold in Canada now



New official movie poster

My Wal-Mart just has Mirage, Cliffjumper, That KKK looking decepticon and Prime. Yes, I waited too long. My bad. But no he is not the best. For me it's a tie between Rodimus and Mirage.

Rodimus is pretty bad.

The shoulders aren't very mobile. Neither are his legs really.

Mirage > Rodimus.

Bumblebee > Optimus > Grimlock > Mirage > Rodimus

I don't have any others.

I think you're giving Grimlock too much credit.

Grimlock and Mirage are pretty much a tie.

this ones gonna make it in the archives

I gotta say that Mirage is pretty bad ass on so many levels. But Grimlock doesn't come close for just as many reasons. I'm just not impressed with him. I just hope someday they make a Masterpiece Grimlock.

lets make this into a crappy MS paint drawing thread?

You could always bring back the MSPaint avatar thread. This way we can keep our legendary Transformer thread.

I might just have to hit up Target for a pair of Transformers socks.

I want the pants.

I will wear them at social events.

hey goofs im so hyper and am watching transformers

Mirage is my favorite deluxe Classic figure by far. I'm not going to use any "best" or "worst" sort of terms, but he's definitely the one I like the most.

Disgrace to the Scorponok name I tell you :(

TK - remember the name that butt contest? NO ONE got them all right, so now it's a free for all, post in the thread, get entered into a random drawing for the Prowl bust.

POLICE CAR HOOD, HERE I COME

So, I went to our other Toys Us on the other side of town. I found titanium Soundwave in his Saddam undies. I didn't get him. But if you guys are looking they have 2 left and I can grab one tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer man but quite frankly, fuck Titanium Soundwave :(

I'm looking for the reissue one instead

You're a man of principal. I respect that. *nods*

As someone not attending Botcon, getting this guy along with the 4 figures he comes with would cost over 300 dollars

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH



Funny, they finally do a decent sculpt for the 3 inch Titanium line and it's on a movie design :(

Are these figures transformable at all? The transformation in the trailers really looks complicated. It will be really difficult to make transformable toys. :(

Of course they are, silly willy.

HAHAHAHA, let the market flood commence!!! I knew this would happen

There are transformable figures being made for the movie line, but that Bumblebee Ktulu just posted isn't one of them.

Yay, I did it!

Bumblebee
"This spy looks best
in a smart disguise.
He will always back
his earth friends."

Starscream
"First to a fight, he
tries to speed thru
the sky to jump
into the battle"

If Prime's head really looked like that it'd be a lot better probably. The artist stylized it a bit more. It's mostly the eyes, traditional there rather than the strange jet turbine thing.

hey are you all copying me silly billies lol goofballs im turning 22 april 27th so im counting down the days i love optimus prime and hot rod i also love blur hes such a goof see all of you on monday im only on a computer monday through friday bye goofs

THE PERFECT JOKE GIFT FOR TK'S BIRTHDAY LATER THIS YEAR



Clearest shot so far of Jazz's head. Best one of all the characters imo, but the face is still crummy looking. At least the visor/helmet part looks alright

THE PERFECT JOKE GIFT FOR TK'S BIRTHDAY LATER THIS YEAR

I loled

Way to transform Energon/Classics Devastator without the energon hands/feet. Looks a little better to me.

Frank Welker has stated that Corey Burton (G1 voice of Spike, Brawn, Sunstreaker, and Shockwave, as well as tons of things in other cartoons, especially for Disney, he's the current Captain Hook for example) will be the next cartoon voice for Megatron.



Lols, the repaint non-movie character gets a better head than the real deal

still a pretty shitty head though.

Much better than before though. Aside from the mouth you can tell they at least wanted it to kind of look like the seeker characters.

I think Burton as Megatron will be cool, he's really good.

I guess it is much better, but it's kind of like how getting your face peed on by a donkey is a lot better than being drawn and quartered. imo.

If they'd totally done it up in a more proper TF fashion the toy wouldn't fit with the rest of the movie line, they had to keep the crazy monster/bug aesthetic to some degree for the sake of that.

I assume. That renders the Energon repaints coming out in the movie line completely useless if true, so I'm probably wrong.

Grey legs = shorts

http://www.buzznet.com/groups/stopsectorseven/audio/5565607/

That apparently may be Starscream's voice in the movie, though that hilariously stock sound at the end makes me suspicious. I'm not shooting it down entirely though, pretty much every other damn rumor about this movie has turned out true.

You nutter

Wha, well where's my chevy chevelle Ktulu!?



YOU PROMISSED!

10 dollars plus shipping = I can't afford it yet

I have 30 dollars total right now, and I need every cent for myself unfortunately. If I wasn't a poor college kid it'd be no issue.

lolololo ktulu you goof

I agree

im so hyper i finally beat sepiroth in kingdom hearts 2 im hyper and am turning 22 on friday hey ktulu is there a website where i could find midis if the transformers movie

Would you rather have mp3s of the actual songs? Easy to find. The actual soundtracks are easy to find as well.

Hey, they finally said what Optimus Lime is. A "retro" starburst flavor (http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=94852&sid=#94852)

Yeah, saw that. It's weird since that's pretty much the only TF reference on the package.

Starburst are good :o

lololololololol ktulu you goof i repeat myself all the time go hot rod lolololololol

=(

*ahem* Transformers is and always was little more than a toy advert. A substantial body of evidence for this can be found in the 60 pages of this very thread. The movie is another cynical attempt by Hollywood to cash in on old, established franchises and this new film has been hyped so much that it seems clear to me the producers will be far too occupied in making sure that as many people watch it as possible -- old fans and current kids -- that they will fail to please either group. *Ahem*
