You don't say?

I just wanted to clarify my stance. Two cents and all that. Smart arse.

Oh, I guess it's not being a 'smart arse' to shit up a thread with some overly obvious and widely known idea (cartoons is fer advertisin toys, toys is fer monies!) as if it's some valid reason why a harmless thing a lot of people enjoy should be dismissed?

*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*

Good well thought out opinions but like every other remake it will be a cash cow and generate many sequels it's about time this remake actually has a solid base story..... I guess.

I AM SARCASTIC ON THE INTERNET.

For the most part this has been a positive thread, with a few members that enjoy Transformers talk about various aspects of the shows/comics/old film/upcoming film/toys etc, show pictures of new stuff coming out and discuss news in general. There's nothing wrong with that. I understand you think you're better than us because we like some silly toy property and all, but that's simply not so and it certainly doesn't warrant your backhanded belittling of us. There's much more to what you've posted than "your opinion on the coming movie", it's drowning in a "haha why do you fags like this shit" sentiment. Take that shit elsewhere.

Take that shit elsewhere.

What, like a thread that doesn't invite one to talk about Transformers, for example?

You missed my point.

In simple terms:

You're being an ass

Don't be an ass

I wasn't intentionally being an ass. I state again; I was giving my opinion. I honestly didn't miss your ridiculously meandering 'point'. Its subtext was so obvious you could hit it with a rake and it wouldn't move. "Only talk about Transformers if you like it, opinions that differ from my own are not welcome".

nobody cares. go away. i dont really get transformers but i just tend to leave them to it, so, you know.

I DONT THINK WE WILL CHANGE ANYONES OPINION ON THE TRANSFORMERS ISSUE. DEBATE IS USELESS.

fascists.

For Christ's sake! I wasn't trying to change anyone's opinion, I was just... oh fuck it, this is futile.

yup.

"Only talk about Transformers if you like it, opinions that differ from my own are not welcome".

That's not what I meant at all, I don't give a shit if someone doesn't like Transformers. I'm not that ridiculous. I simply assumed the point of your first post and then the comment about not wanting to ruin the thread just full of toy pictures was criticism of us, which I do not find warranted.

I sole this Hotrod avatar from lilformers.com. Why did it take so long for me to discover this site? Anyway, I stole more for you guys. *squee!*

im 22 today april 27th is my birth day im so excited ilove hot rod lol

Happy Birthday gokusgirl

So, Michael Bell (G1 voice of Prowl, Scrapper, Swoop, Bombshell, Sideswipe, First Aid, etc, Duke from GI Joe, Grandpa from Rugrats, Raziel in Soul Reaver, and lots of other awesome shit) auditioned for Prowl in the next TF cartoon. He didn't get the fucking part. The voice of Prowl...didn't get the voice of Prowl. It's definitely not an age thing, his voice is still awesome judging from other recent work. I bet it was a money thing. It's really too bad.





They even remolded him to give him his VTOL wings. Gah!

Hi Angel_sweetie, what'd it feel like when you designed Optimus Prime?

http://seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=10138

Read about an upcoming full box set release of the G1 series there if you're one of the ones that missed the Rhino ones.

cool!

That Thrust looks amazing. It really is a shame about it being Botcon exclusive.

The DVDs are from an Aus. company so, that means Region 4. Won't work for the US. Failed to mention that.

And yeah TK, I really love that Thrust. I got one set of Botcon exclusives from maybe 2000 or 2001 maybe 2-3 years later really cheap from BBTS. Now, I know it's not likely with these guys, because these are going to be insanely popular, but it's still a SMALL possibility I can get them later on for a somewhat reasonable price. I'll just have to try my luck.

In other news, Goo Goo Dools are doing a love song for the movie.
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/video_news/goo_goo_dolls_transforming_experience.html

Is that yours or a picture you found?



Pointless but cool Bumblebee repaint from the Botcon set

Yup, it's mine. With my dragon incense in the background. Found 'em at Target. They were almost wiped out so I didn't get Optimus.

I don't know about that Bumblebee repaint. I like the paint job, but not for that car. Maybe if they made a classic deluxe Jazz, that would be cool.

Thought you said dragon incest, oho

Is your Protoform Starscream floppy? I've read they're put together really loosely.

I've had worse. But it's not that bad. In entry mode, some parts don't snap so securely. Trying to pose him is also a challenge. But its still my first movie toy.

What others do you plan on getting?

I'm still not getting any, but if I were to choose a few, it'd probably be the regular Jazz and Ratchet, and the larger Optimus. I really really don't care for the Decepticons at all, but I guess Barricade and Blackout would be the ones I'd pick if any.

How much are they if you get them at botcon? Maybe some incredibly kind individual who's attending would be willing to pick you up an extra set if you pay for 'em?

hey guys whats up im hyper and have finally seen on youtube when optimus returns yeah my buddy is back lol

Same ones as you. Especially the larger Optimus, Leader class, if memory serves me. I like the fact they are using rubber tires.

The set is still hundreds TK :(



Oh, oh lol. That bot mode is right up there with the worst Beast Machines toys imo.



At least it turns into a somewhat cool stereo. Still, the bot mode....nothing like the CGI model at all.









Now these guys I like, because they have the true TF spirit, robots in disguise. The robot mode of the controller is pretty lols but they're still pretty neat. The watch has a Frenzy/Rumble feel kind of.

I beat you to it. Look at my post #1533. :p

:( :( :( Yeah, it's easy to miss sentences and such when you're focused on a picture that was also posted. I imagine some of my posts in this thread probably have easy to miss stuff.

No big though, I just post crap from tfw or seibertron mainly, I hardly go to any other sites. There's a real crummy one called BigBot where exclusive club stuff gets leaked a lot though, but that too is a rare visit for me.

THERE'S GOING TO BE TRANSFORMER LOVE??????

???

I got tired of going to the transformers.com forum because it seems every post they had was a link to tfw2005. lol. I was like I'll just go there instead.

I've been at TFW since it started, and was at Transfandom before that when TFW was part of it. It's just always been the one I've gone to, but it's gained a great rep over the years. I don't know how they find news so fast. It's been very very rare I've ever found something to actually post on their news forum that wasn't already there.

It feels good being able to buy my own transformers now. When I was a kid, we were broke and on food stamps. But my mom was able to get me a few transformers - Hotrod, Blur, Sixshot and Mindwipe. But I would draw the rest, cut them out and play with them like that. lol. I would save my money for that box of 64 crayons with the sharpener just to color them. *sighs* good times.

Cool story really, if it isn't weird to say that. Do you have any of those old ones? Mindwipe would be really awesome to have. Anyway, I've grown up relatively poor too, and I was also kind of too young for the original toys when they were out. I only had a select few TFs but I did have my fair share of GI Joes and such. I admire my mom so much for how hard she struggled to manage all the bills and still making sure I had stuff too, it's crazy how giving she's been. Anyway, buying so many in recent years for myself has been great, and it's a shame I haven't done better at building my funds enough to keep on with it, but oh well, I'll get there.

Just don't get too caught up in it, it's really bad when you buy them even when you don't like them.

if i was a transformer i'd definitely be the cool looking one

You'd have a major split personality disorder then

Nah, I don't have any of the old ones. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-sad.gif

i'm okay with that

in fact i'd quite enjoy talking amongst myself

What if like

You were both Autobots and Decepticons??? You'd destroy yourself :(

Well, maybe not, they all have horrible aim

Movie toy repaints into G1 colors, vehicle mode only for now





Ratchet should've been that color to begin with :o

Botcon attendee only figure: Vector Prime as Alpha Trion







Want :(

That's actually a pretty cool Alpha Trion.

OMGOODNESS!

Transformers game info!

Game trailer! (http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/805/805122/vids_1.html)

Dear, Peppermint Patty, after reading the following, I think I need to get both the PS3 and PSP games. G1 skins! 20 playable characters in the PSP version, the band Blur!


I was going to write out a more structured article, but instead I just give you the details!

Console/PC info:

-9 playable characters

-XBOX 360 runs at 720p while PS3 version is at 1080p. Same assets for both games, as well as the PC version. Wii version will have same game elements but optimized graphics for the system. I assume the PS2/XB versions will follow that direction.

-Environment was much more destructible since the build shown at Toyfair. Trees, cars, fences, and poles could be ripped from the ground. If damage was done to a building, you could pick up pieces of debris and chuck it as well. Signs on buildings could be removed also. Lots of stuff at your disposal.

-You start the game with your full weapons arsenal, but you will need to learn how to operate the different parts.

-Bumblebee gameplay similar to what was shown at Toyfair. Intro to gameplay showed Bumblebee scanning the Camaro and adopting the alt mode. First mission was to intercept Decepticon drones. While it may have seemed like a normal game element, it was made more unique by the fact that you could see the Decepticons falling from the sky in protoform mode and landing on the surface causing damage. A nice precursor to the fight that comes with them. When fighting started, it was nice to see some chaos on screen. There was a lot of stuff getting destroyed, cars getting shot out of your hands when you pick them up and don't throw fast enough, and people running away from the scene.
Battle with Barricade was shown, and featured some cool Arm Swinging attack by Barricade. Not too much of the battle was played through though.

-Blackout gameplay was also shown. Control with analog sticks to navigate looked to make control pretty easy. Mission was to destroy an army base, and it was cool to use all different weapon attacks as well as using the helicopter rotors as a cutting attack. Picking up tanks to throw at planes was also cool.
The chopper element leads to low altitude flying, while jet gameplay leads to higher altitude flying. PS3 and Wii versions will use motion sensors to control flight.

-There are 9 different environments. The city was shown for the Bumblebee section , and an army base was shown during Blackout's part.

-Gameplay includes a reward system for performing certain tasks (Protecting, Destruction, Speed, etc).

-Bonus extras - G1 character skins (not new models), Tech Specs, Production assets (Movie stills and such).

-CGI Intro by Blur was amazing. It opens panning Cybertron and has narration by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen). Highly detailed animation featuring destructive battles between the Autobots and Decepticons. Bots thrown into buildings, Prime Jumping on Megatron while in jet mode. Definitely gets you pumped up for the game.

-Menus (Not sure if final) looked simple but clean.

-The game content was almost complete, but tweaks, fine tuning, and the usual business before release still remain.

-Currently, downloadable content is not in the game plan.

-No info available yet on what will be included in the collectors edition of the game.

-Games will be released close to the movie


PSP Version

-20 playable characters

-G1 characters included


DS Version


-Two versions; Bot/Con

-Custom character can be made using 35 possible vehicle scans. Color can be customized.

-Use of movie characters as well as custom character during the game.

-Game script more G1 based. Expect to see some G1-like dialogue and story elements.

-Largest level size of any DS game to date.

-Extra challenge missions.

-While traveling through the city, any approaching vehicle could be an enemy bot.

-4 player local multiplayer can be played with any game combination.
-XP Points can unlock new abilities.

-Wifi play is enabled for daily challenges. Tasks completed in the daily challenge tally up with everyone else submitting their challenge results via wifi to make for a large scale Autobots/Decepticon battle for the Allspark. Tokens will be rewarded in daily challenges.

-Community aspect will play a part as well with online clans and other community based features on the web. Similar approach to the Tony Hawk community.

-Tokens unlock new characters and cheats.

The Console version looks pretty good. The city details looked to be cleaned up, although to hardcore gamers the city environment might not seem as pretty as other NG titles. However, when you start taking out buildings and other parts of the surroundings, you see a good amount of detail in the environment. The game looks fun, but the final verdict will be how the game feels in the final version. Sound and Control elements (Rumble, Motion sensor) will play a big part in the final experience.

The DS version looks like it is packed with content and should be a great buy for anyone with a DS. Personally, I don't have one, but the game looked like a lot of fun, and has features that will prolong the life of the game. The ability to make a custom character is a big draw for me and I'm sure many people will appreciate the feature. Made me think about buying a DS

ktulu you are a goofball and im really hyper lol hey guys on youtube they have many cool transformers clips also i wanted you to know im 22/f

Pirates 3 is going to feature a Transformers trailer apparently. It'll be interesting to see if it gets any crowd reaction at all.

crystalriku does she hate me because i don't hate her and i didn't say or do anything i am sad

The report about Ironhide's voice actor was apparently wrong, that guy isn't actually cast.

First pictures of Titanium Prowl, crummy photo but gives a good idea of how he looks. Also pictured: San Diego comic con Rodimus repaint as "Menasor" and a TRU Op/Megatron 2 pack





Also posted in news today is an apparent report from someone that saw some of the footage from the next TF cartoon. It pretty much said that the transformation sequences were quick blurs and didn't really show any moving parts etc.

This of course has a lot of people upset and many are already hating the show. What...what the hell?

I would LOVE for them to just have a quick blur rather than showing the same fucking overlong, overly dramatic transformation sequence in stock footage every single show for multiple characters. Seriously, if true, the blur thing would be way better than what's been done from RiD-Cybertron.

I must have that WW Megatron to go with my WW Optimus.

I agree it would be an improvement. "Blur" is a really ambiguous term though. People are probably afraid it means "morphing." Which I also would rather not see, but again it is still an improvement over goofy yelling scenes that take too long.

I just entered my Mountain Dew codes at the transformyoursummer.com site. I'm going for the home theater system, because I REALLY want that 42" tv, and I entered my other code for that Optimus Prime Pepsi figure.

I saw Classics Jetfire today and the Magnus V. Skywarp pack.

Didn't get either though.

Doubt I'll be going out to broadway again anytime soon too.

Good luck to you Mark. I'd much rather have Japanese Pepsi Prime, or better yet the pricey ass original G1 Pepsi Prime. Wouldn't mind the TV though :D

So 'Misty'. Why didn't you get dems? No expendable income anymore? :(

Hey Ktulu, any ideas about a particularly good place to buy TFs online?

bigbadtoystore is ultra, ultra reliable. Wonderful customer service, quick shipping, good quality products. They have bad prices sometimes, but they're usually equal or lower than other places, and tthere are usually really great sales to compensate. There's almost always a 25-50 percent off thing going on. They were lower priced in the past and were a bit better then but still a great place for whenever sales roll around. I'm on their mailing list and I've got some awesome deals.

If you want some more suggestions, I do have a few, but in terms of reliability and good sales that site is the best imo.

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=133564

Decent amount of shots from the movie showing the robots. In some screens they definitely don't match up that well, too detailed in comparison to what's around them and such. Overall though I'd say it doesn't look too unbelievable.



From Maxim. I still think he's got the most solid design.

Gemma does but that's our savings for a deposit on a house. So not spending dat shiz on toys.

Good man.

More Jazz:





GOD I HATE THEIR FUCKING EYES



These two are too big

http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=k31600x1200jazz1tc3.jpg

Jazz looks the best outa all of um'.

I agree, as long as he has the visor on at least

Something I just noticed and now It's going to bug me forever...

Okay... I was listening to my fella & one of our (male) friend having a conversation about transformers last night... and it might just be that they were both, shall we say, just a teensy bit blotto, or it might be that whilst I'm not exactly a "girlie" girl, I don't have a bloody CLUE... having never watched it.
SO... anyone have it in them to do an idiot's guide to transformers, so I can at least blag it, rather than being ridiculed??

Cheers m'dears!

These niggas was robots and dey was from dis planet called Cybertron where dey was at war and shit and to hide dey could change dey shapes into lamp posts and vehicles an shit an denz liek dey ran out of energies an dey said hey lez travel fo energies and dey crash landed on teh earf into a volcano an one days teh volcano erupted ans woke dems up an den dey went and found new disgeeses fo dey selfs and den started fighting on de earfs fo years and years

Ktulu that is the best idiot's guide to anything I have ever read

ZOMG, liek taht tralieer roxz adn shti!

Some of the bot animation looks very real whereas other times it doesn't match everything else so well.

I'm glad to hear the classic transformation sound in there.

Review and pics of Big Ass Megatron (Official Name) from the movie line (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=133898)

Nice sculpting and all but certainly not my cup of tea. The design. It also just looks like a fucking prototype to me. So bland.

(http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newavengerstransformerssu5.jpg)

Preview of New Avengers/TFs from IGN. Cool to see TFs back involved with the Marvel Universe again, makes me feel all nostalgic :D



^ Apparently the size difference between Jazz and Megatron

Ridiculous size difference.

Well, Jazz is the smallest save for Frenzy and Megatron the largest so it's expected I suppose.

http://www.actoys.net/bbs/read.php?tid=184936

So the "robot replicas" line, the action figures that are supposed to be the most accurate representations of the movie designs...look like cheap prototypes :o

I like how each package is unique to the specific character though.

Optimus Prime vs. Megatron (Espa�ol)

HAHAHAHA... This is too great! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWWsPk6sS2I&mode=related&search=)

I always enjoy watching things in other languages. The Star Wars prequels are great in Spanish, they gave Anakin this horrifically deep voice, wonderful stuff.

http://club.tfclub.com/viewthread.php?tid=8552

More pictures of the "replica" figures. Jazz is pictured now, and there's also comparisons with their joints and Revoltech figure joints (they're pretty much the same). They look a little better this time around I guess. Prime out of package shows they can pull some decent poses and such.

Soundwave's voice is by far the best part of that Spanish dub.

I CAN'T DEAL WITH THAT NOW

Yet another teal Magnus. Why is it so hard to give him a rich blue like the cartoon :(

I really like that Soundwave.

I think they are only 5.99 per two pack if I remember correctly, so not too bad.

TK did you get your Tit Roddy ordered?

yuuuuupp

Cool stuff

On BWTF.com, so far, the movie toys of characters from the actual film aren't being reviewed too well, no BUY IT NOW BUY IT NOW sort of reviews yet, and he's notoriously easy to please. He gave Ratchet a flat out "not recommended" :o

haha, I don't think I've ever seen read a review by that guy in which he didn't recommend the toy.

There have been a few, but more often than not he loves things

The Jazz/Bumblebee reviews are pretty positive, he liked them more than Ratchet, but still had issues and couldn't give a full on recommendation. He was unhappy with Protoscream, gave it the same rating as Ratchet.

Interestingly, he really loves the Bumblebee kids toy where the torso of the robot design just pops out of the car mode :o

I think some of the Real Gear ones have gotten full recommendations, such as the one that turns into binoculars. The cell phone got a negative review though.

Saw movie toys today.

Saw the little bumblebee kids toys too.

I was like "Where the fuck did the classics go?"

I've only seen the protoform figures. Target now has plenty of Prime and Starscream but I just don't feel like shelling out $10 for prime. I'd rather wait for the leader class figure.

Classics are done. YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE.

When I saw the Protoform toys at Target a week or two ago I couldn't believe how small they were. I guess they're normal for deluxes but the huge bubble package makes them look tiny.

http://www.tfg2.com/read.php?tid=7786

Pics of Ultimate BB out of the box, also shows a Leader class Brawl (why) advertised on his package.

I guess it looks well made, but 90 bucks for a design I'm not fond of? Not happening. Also, it being so huge is more ridiculous than cool imo. Maybe if I see it on some kind of crazy sale, and I probably will as I imagine it'll warm shelves at that price, I'll buy one just for nostalgia's sake. Don't know.

http://club.tfclub.com/viewthread.php?tid=8597&fpage=1

More pictures from the Replica line. Eh. Shows there's going to be a Frenzy made.

http://www.alternativeaddiction.com/musicnews/article.asp?id=847

Goo Goo Dolls' song for the TF movie



More Avengers/TF art. The most hilarious Wolverine drawing ever.



Alternators Hot Rod. No idea whether or not it will see retail release. It could simply be a convention exclusive, or even possibly custom made. No one knows yet.





Tit UM modded to have proper arm position. Requires drilling holes.

I only missed out on Jetfire.

Could probably still get him online though.

:O

I was thinking a Magnus fix would probably be possible if one was willing to do some drilling. I think I might attempt that, though I am not the handiest of folks.

And I'd love it if that Hot Rod came out, but it seems dubious to me. Didn't they say the Alternators line was done until maybe after the movie? I guess they could be bringing it back this soon. I certainly wouldn't complain.

The Alternators Hot Rod is a convention exclusive. Means us regular folk will never get one for less than 50-100 dollars or more off eBay.



Part of Nintendo Power's article on the TF Movie game. That's a much better pose for Prime than the wacky hunched over one, it should've been the one all over merchandise and advertisements instead imo.

I think that design for Optimus is actually the first time in history someone has succeeded in making a robot look homosexual.

Haha. What about C-3PO?

Anyway



Wish they'd really done this guy.

I picked me up this goody today at Hot Topic and a few other Transformers knick-knacks.

Pretty cool. Makes me wonder about the source of the art though. There's been two instances recently where people saw TF shirts from the 'official' licensee that featured stolen fan art :( Hopefully that isn't the case with that one.

Even thought I picked it up from Hot Topic? I didn't know they could sell unauthorized merchandise. *sighs* :notgood:

That's the thing, it's authorized, but the company that holds the license for TF shirts is stealing art not provided by Hasbro for their shirts.

It still looks cool though. And all of that is being reasoned with, so no big deal.

Without the shit eyes it might almost be ok, almost.



Looks like an armored Critter



Really ugly to me :(

COUNT DOWN: 40 days till movie release.

EDIT: 1st post In. This. Thread.

http://jediinsider.net/g/?mode=album&album=CIV%2FThursday%2FHasbro%2FATTACKTIX&dispsize=800&start=0

Lots of new Attacktix shown at a Star Wars convention. Lot of G1 characters in there.

Movie Jazz with alternate (fanmade) transformation of his arms, including actual hands.











Brilliant custom Classics Sideswipe.

No time for captions. Too busy playing. wOOt!

This is my kid of topic. yayz.

I know what everyone wants to know and the answer is YES. Optimus Prime is a bitch to transform. He took about 15 minutes to transform.

That's true.

I just hope the voyager one doesn't take 20 min to transform.

Ahh!! My shelf is on fire!



Some misc. pics.




The only thing hotter then the flames on Optimus. Megan Fox!

Even robots have to make...

I'm thinking about going back to pick up Ratchet.

MY WORK HERE IS DONE

�Que?

You guys are nerding out to the max :D I could step away from the thread and no one would ever notice

You have ascended. Blossomed. Transformed. To the higher echelon of the geek ranks.

hahaha

TRU here still has Titanium Soundwaves and no others. What the hell, people.

Also, I decided I'm definitely going to get a Magnus and drill holes in it.

Without the shit eyes it might almost be ok, almost.

Really ugly to me :(

Optimus looks sad, and that third one looks like Johnny 5 with yellow armor.

I still say they'd look better with more traditional Transformer eyes. I'm sure the people at ILM could've still conveyed emotion without having to give them goofy turbine pupils. If they'd just watched the original cartoon they could've learned how to do that well enough. Their eyes could squint, close, enlarge, etc. Also, they could've at least given them the traditional look in battle mode. No though, that isn't believable enough in the movie about talking robots from space.

Also, as I enlarged the original picture to do that edit, it fucking scared me. Optimus should not be scary to look at :o Those damn eyes, I'm telling you.

yikes. Bumblebee looks like he's got a ballgag in his mouth.

Optimus looks sad, and that third one looks like Johnny 5 with yellow armor.

LMAO!!!


sorry, may looks like spam... but I'm really rolling myself on the ground right now. LOL

Dear Jon Stewart, Odin is right. Bumblebee does look like Johnny 5.

I need to stop spending money. I've already picked up Leader Class Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Arcee (Target exclusive), Blackout and Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher is so small next to Optimus that it'll be hard for me to have my "Dance Off"



Sizes.

The eyes are much too scary to belong to a dreamboat like Optimus. Overall I can live with some of the redesigns but the designs of Megatron and mostly Starscream are just too far from the original designs to be of any interest. They look like a bunch of General Grevious rip-offs. :(

But hey, it should be an enjoyable popcorn movie. Fantastic cgi, terrible acting, huge explosions etc... :)

May be a US MP Screamer, but it's not certain. Could be a custom.

That looks fantastic! Is it Christmas yet D:

I really hope that is actually coming out.

Honestly, it looks legit to me simply because the incredibly stupid looking dirt or "battle damage" or whatever the hell it is on the back of the jet is exactly what Hasbro would do.

Haha very good point. The panel lining seems too much though. It could just be a hand painted proto or whatever though. I don't know. I do hope it's really a Hasbro product and not just fan made.

Completed my Autobot collection.

Is it wrong that I'm more excited by the fact that your strategy guide collection is exactly the same as mine?

How the hell did you decide to start collecting whole lines with the friggin movie toys? X_X

MAYBE HE WANTS TO FORM A TRANSFORMERS WRESTLING LEAGUE

it will never be as epic as the Stone Cold against Booker T for the Water Bottle match last month though

Awesome match with the water bottle running away

Is it wrong that I'm more excited by the fact that your strategy guide collection is exactly the same as mine?

That's hard to believe.

Excellent!

It's good to hear Peter Cullen do Optimus again. :)

Wal-Mart exclusive. I love stuff like that.

That's hard to believe.

That I'm more excited by them, or that I have the same collection?

Outside of my XII cover being Penelo and having Xenosaga Eps. I-III, we have exactly the same collection.

Although I'm don't really feel enough of a fanboy to post in this thread I accidentally clicked it and it reminded me of this (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Autobot_Intercourse).

any idea when that's coming out?

Wal-Mart exclusive. I love stuff like that.

They've had all the 2 packs at my local Target
Ultra Magnus - Megatron
Grimlock - Shockwave
I can't remember the other pairs, but I know there's Soundwave, Rodimus, One of the incecticons, bumble Bee and I think that's it.

these aren't the same as the 3" titaniums. At least I don't think they are. The tits look ridiculous because they are poorly engineered, these ones look ridiculous because they are engineered well to look ridiculous, which is awesome.

these ones look ridiculous because they are engineered well to look ridiculous, which is awesome.

lol.

I now also have Starscream (grew on me beyond words, very cool) and Baricade. I'm enjoying my movie collection. However Bonecrusher is not worth owning - stay away, Ironhide is a bitch to transform but still pretty cool and Jazz is cool except the arms suck. Other then that I like the figures, but I have no interest in Megatron. That makes...

Optimus Prime - Leader Class
Ironhide
Ratchet
Jazz
Bumblebee
Arcee (not really a movie character, but it's still kinda cool)
Starscream
Blackout
Baricade
bonecrusher

Come on, let's go? Are you going with me?


No duh. lol. XD

No duh. lol. XD

Careful, MarvStraight is not one to be trifled with.



Today was the official release of the movie toys. Mark already having most of them before today bewilders me. I guess the stores in California don't know how to follow rules :o Loners. Rebels.

My mom was charged the task of putting up the TF display at TRU today. She called me telling me all the stuff they got in, lolz

Target is getting a different version (Robovision herlop) of the TF Movie game, apparently with different features such an unlockable G1 skin for Optimus. Why they chose Target, I do not know.

Look what came in the mail yesterday :D



Primus with Unicron head straight from Hasbro. They also threw in the two magnets for free.









Great toy, and even though it's not as big as the Armada Unicron, it still seems quite huge.

Mark already having most of them before today bewilders me. I guess the stores in California don't know how to follow rules :o Loners. Rebels.

The girl in charge of toys in one of our local Target stores didn't care and just pulled them all out.




LOL. This is too great! I know the people at Hasbro were having a laugh when they thought about including this. Enough to make me pull this classic pic out

Japanese Bumblebee actually has transparent windows. USA version = pwnt

That ain't even cool. I want transparent windows in my Bumble Bee. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-mad.gif

TF movie website updated with bits and pieces of Optimus and Starscream in hi-res depending on which faction you choose. Eventually they'll piece together large full body shots.

Here's a preview of the Optimus one:



The picture on the site is much larger.

Again, a much better choice for the common advertising photograph than the crazy hunched over "wink and a smile" one

Comparison of 70s BB and 08 BB. Serious difference in quality.

Edit-

MTV Movie Awards had some new TF Clips, the cars on the red carpet, star interviews, and a little bit with Optimus and Sarah Silverman made just for the show. Crummy award show as expected but I guess it was neat seeing some new TF stuff.

You can see some of it here:

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1561537&vid=153077

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0kZHybANP4k

The picture below is a line up of the Autobots minus Optimus, apparently all in scale with each other

Roddy fans click here (http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-ICF-00000294)

I just need that '08 Bumblebee and Megatron. I'm not interested in Brawl or Wreckage. And I type this while wearing my voice changer helmet. the Peter Cullen edition.

The movie award footage was pretty cool. That extended Optimus/Bonecrusher clip is pretty crazy. As for my favorite jew-girl, Sarah Silverman, very awesome!

that's a pretty neat statue. Probly expensive though. ;(

Today I happened to be in Target so I figured I'd look at their toy section even though there's nothing new out that I want to buy right now, and they had completely cleared out everything that wasn't from the movie and were stocking ONLY MOVIE TOYS. I was so depressed.

Well with small exceptions like Optimash Prime (which I bought Friday, lols) and the Robot Heroes, expect a lot of that for the rest of the year :(

if movies good ill flip join heads i see it tails i don't

WTF is a transformer?

watch clerks to then u'll know

Oh, I C.

And I type this while wearing my voice changer helmet. the Peter Cullen edition.


I think sitting naked dressed only with the Prime helmet while masturbating out a window would be one of the highlights of my life. You must do this. Also, activities such as going out to check the mail or get the paper in only the Prime helmet, boxers, and long black socks must occur, yeah. Pure awesome right there.

Apparently the Cyberstompin Optimus has two versions too, one awkward voice, one Cullen voice. Weird how they did that. I'm guessing the Cullen ones are a last minute running change.



When do we get a picture like this from you MarvStraight? You can beat this guy, come on!

I have no one to hold the camera. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-sad.gif

And besides. Most of that would be a waist of my money. I just wanted the figures, and not the fast action ones. I'm thinking about the Optimash Prime and officially that's it. The helmet is just kinda cool to have.

btw, I was watching Scrubs earlier when I thought, "Megatron kinda reminds me of Dr. Cox when he walks around his apartment in his boxers."

I'm glad that you don't have a "GOTTA HAVE EVERYTHING" mentality. That is apocalyptic on the old wallet for sure.



I do suggest Optimash, he is swell :D Large, funny display piece for only 10 bucks.

I have Darth Tater. I should get him a buddy.

I wish someone would produce a short film using Optimash, Darth Tater and any other themed Mr. Potato Head. Would be too funny. But now I need Optimash. Too funny not to have.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Imagine that thing on a kid. It even looks a little too big on adults.

Energon Fatimus isn't that fat!



X Box 360 faceplate

Also, the movie is officially out July 3rd now, and will have showing the night before. That means it will have a...6 day opening 'weekend.' Right. Going after that Spidey 3 record I see. Won't mean a thing if they do though, as Spidey 3 opened on Friday.

Meh.
That theme's ok I guess. Call me old fashioned
but I prefer the Metal version done by Lion for the
animated Transformers movie.
By the way, who is that group preforming the
new theme song? It kind of sounds like Linkin Park to me.

Pure Awsome.

Starscream doesn't fare as well



Does look better in those colors though. Also note it has the Thundercracker head.

Ratchet I like, except the head design is still ass.

Yea, Ratchet's head gives me nightmares, but what doesn't these days. XD Screamers Alt mode reminds of his Alt mode from TF Energon/Superlink, so, I might pick that one up.

Honestly, I still think even that Jazz looks like shit.

I think Jazz's main problem is that his chest is where the stomach should be

I guess it's silly to think these robots should be restrained to human-like proportions, but the whole human-like aspect is hurt when they do stray from that and it just looks odd

Needs more of a machine feel to the theme, like a dumptruck thunder smashing sounds to me. I mean i can catch a song like that theme on the average rock radio station.

That theme song was a waste of my 2 min. >( grrrrrr

Better shot of 08 Bumblebee



Target has some new trailer showing with a few new shots. It's on youtube of course, but low quality.

Intro to der game apparently

Oh yes. No rescuing of minicons, just robots beating the slag out of each other. The animation is amazing and I get to be either Autobot or Decepticon. Save the world or conquer it? Hmm, decisions, decisions.

And either way, you'll be ugly as fuck!

Haha TK

This is supposedly the official voice actor list for the movie:

Optimus - Peter Cullen
Megatron - Hugo Weaving
Bumblebee - Mark Ryan (http://imdb.com/name/nm0752699)
Ironhide - Jess Harnell (voice actor, Wakko from Animaniacs)
Barricade - Jess Harnell
Ratchet - Robert Foxworth (http://imdb.com/name/nm0289343/)
Bonecrusher - Jimmie Wood (no idea who this is)
Jazz - Darius McCrary (Eddie from Family Matters, wtf)
Starscream - Charlie Adler (voice actor, Buster Bunny, Cow and Chicken)
Frenzy - Reno Wilson (http://imdb.com/name/nm0934008/)

No Keith David though? It's been said that perhaps he's just voicing Barricade in the video game, but that doesn't make sense. Hugo Weaving is the only huge star there. Why'd they bother giving Megatron a big actor but go the way of regular voice actors or lesser knowns on the others? Very weird.

A few pictures, screens from the movie, render shots, production photos, etc. including a clear shot of Prime's goofy face without the plate in front. (http://www.celebutopia.net/forum/megan-fox-shia-t33938.html?)

Official movie running time: 2 hours, 15 minutes

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=41902

Check out this article on Cullen for a hilarious lack of fact checking

Hugo Weaving really isn't that big a star. And it's not like he doesn't have experience with voice acting. I really don't see anything strange there.

Compared to the others on that list he's by far the biggest star. I don't see how being in two huge blockbuster trilogies that shit loads of people have seen, not to mention the very popular V For Vendetta doesn't qualify him as pretty major league, particularly when compared to the others on that cast list. Quite a lot of people know who he is. Jess Harnell? Darius McCray? Mark Ryan? Even Peter Cullen. No. The general public would not be able to tell you who these are by name alone.

Oh, he's definitely the biggest name on there, but that's not the point. Any way you can possibly slice it, his name isn't one that sells tickets by itself. Besides, not very many people tend to remember his name since he's been in supporting roles in most of his big films. Who's going to remember his name when he's playing the baddie to Keanu Reaves and Lawrence Fishburne or when he gets a tiny fraction of the screen time in Lord of the Rings?

I think you're underestimating his celebrity, but this is not something I care about arguing at all

Some nifty Beast Wars art:



Awkward ass scene from the movie, clip from Jay Leno

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZGObFPpMbg

One comment on there is pretty lols: "Remember: It's not going to be silly like the old stupid cartoon...It's going to be adult and serious with no goofy stuff! And realistic! I'm Michael Bay!"

That is rather nifty indeed.

I think the new BW miniseries is due to start pretty soon. I really dislike where they took it with The Gathering, but I'm still curious to see what they do with it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcmywtsnxJI

Yet another different teaser for the movie.



What the shit is wrong with his head



RARHAHAH is all that comes to mind

I saw that commercial last night when I was watching ATHF. I also found Megatron at walmart the other day. Not my favorite, but not exactly the worst.

Optimus looks like an Atlas from Mechwarrior in that poster.

My bad, not that commercial but the one where you see Starscream transform behind a couple of jets. That one is online but it's a bad quality.

http://www.larecords.com/audio/taao.mp3

Haha, Stan Bush actually submitted a song for the new movie. I feel so bad for the guy that his career has come to being a nostalgia act for fucking toy geeks.





This character is apparently only in the game. Almost a regular looking Transformer, but then they had to make him look like a fucking satyr below the knees.

Ooooh, I've been hoping I'd get to hear Stan Bush's new song. Can't listen to it now but I will when I get home.

One of TFW's members went to an early screening and provided lots of spoilers. The scenes he was all excited about were all a bunch of goofy ass shit, like Mountain Dew machines turning into robots and goofy one liners. It sounds really fucking silly, far removed from the "urr this is ultra serious no kid stuff, it isn't cartoony" crap Bay has been spewing over and over.

I wouldn't expect much from Bay but I'll just go and see it for the CGI mainly.

Yeah, I've always wanted to see what it would be like if a team of today's best CG artists got together and attempted to render the ugliest robots in the universe as realistically as possible.

Well, I never did customize my Rodimus because I could not find the right hotpink modeling paint. But now I had the idea of picking up another movie Ironhide and painting him red. Whacha think?

It would look like this:



Not sure if the mold works in red or not, but it's your opinion that matters.

Also, wait before you do it. Hasbro may release an official one. Lots of G1-style repaints have shown up already, so who's to say Ironhide isn't also coming?

Check out my crappy stop-motion video I made. *sighs* I have no life.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2037416542

Lots of people do stuff like that, don't sweat it. Very interesting. It's surreal how you used a transformation sound clip that had music behind it.

http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5884


Michael Bay interview.

Not long now...

Holy ugly

please tell me that is not actually what it is going to look like.

It's official promo material. I guess it's possible the actual animation models could differ, but I don't have any hope for it. I like how the design is the closest to G1 Prime...since G1 Prime, but the art style is so fucking goofy. What the hell is with the giant head and skinny skinny waist :o

I really hate the "Animated" name too. What, as if Transformers hasn't always been a fucking cartoon? Gives me the same feeling I got when I saw the X-Men all starting to wear black leather costumes after the movies come out, Transformers as a whole is now going to cater to the upcoming movie more than anything.

Bah, I should have known better than to think this stupid thing had potential.

So which is the greater of two evils?

If any of you are bored as hell and up for a crappy cartoon here's the next episode of the Headmasters fan dub I'm part of. I'm hardly in it despite having 5 characters. They didn't even credit me for one of them :o Better than the first episode where they didn't credit me at all, haha. So like I said, I don't have many actual lines. Most of the work I did was on the sound effects in the last half. Anyway, if you're interested here it is:

http://www.predaconempire.com/content/fandubs/hm/HM_03_ufp_large.zip

Not professionally done at all of course, but it's made by a small handful of people doing it in their free time, so considering, it's not bad.

Not too much news lately, just cast/crew interviews from the movie, game/movie trailers, movie toy repaints and such. On a funny note, the Nike Convoy gets a white repaint as Ultra Magnus. Hooray! Something new and different!

Holy ugly

AHHH!!! It bruns, it bruns! Get it away!

Damn it
