:o

That's Cullen?! :(

Yes why

I don't know, I just always pictured him with a Heman chin...or something.

So, while at Botcon I had the oppurtunity of a LIFETIME to snap a picture of Peter Cullen NEXT to the Optimus Prime truck. And I freaking BLEW IT! At the time, I had the flash off my camera since I was trying to take some good, natural pictures of the truck. Kev shouts to me that Cullen is coming and after much convincing (he was being ushered around by FP) I snapped a quick picture forgetting I didn't have my flash on. Well, with me being in a hurry and him being in a hurry my camera's shutter speed was too slow and what you see is what I got. Man, I'm so mad.I know what you mean, I had the opportunity to snap a great full on view of one of my favorite bands, custom bass.
While at a show, I had taken pics of the different bands playing. The closers that night were the Nekromantix (psychobilly band who's known for the bassist trademark Coffin Bass) and I just happened to make my way to the front of the stage before the crowd rush. I snapped a few good close ups of the band members, even a good "Money Shot" of Kim Nekroman (Lead singer and stand-up bassist) getting down on his coffin bass. At the end of the show, as the crowd left and I looked around for my friends, the roadies began breaking down the equipment. One of the roadies just happened to set the bass down in front of me, so I quickly set up to shoot a few pics. When I reloaded for the 1st shot, I noticed I had spent the roll, so I searched for a new roll and realized I didn't have any left. :notgood:

I was so pissed, it was such a good show only to have it end on a down note. :sad:

Thug

Oh man this is the first new actual Transformer to come out here that I actually want in so long

Interview with supervising director on TF Animated

I am only interested if the interviewer strangled him.

Why are all you guys quick to burn the series. Wait till it comes out before you condemn the cartoon.
Remember, it's catered primarily to kids, not just old fans.

Why are all you guys quick to burn the series. Wait till it comes out before you condemn the cartoon.

Don't generalize, I am waiting before I judge it

Once again, I have been denied. So, is the initial wave of movie toys just over, or are there going to be further shipments?

I ran into this little kid there, who for absolutely no reason decided to inform me that "it doesn't come with the Decepticon phone..." I felt bad for him, I guess, but I honestly wanted to say "Who wants Decepticrap anyway, kid?"

Mainly because I didn't know what he was talking about.

Don't generalize, I am waiting before I judge it
I didn't mean you, just everyone who's already bitched about it.

"Decepticrap" - LOL

Why are all you guys quick to burn the series. Wait till it comes out before you condemn the cartoon.
Remember, it's catered primarily to kids, not just old fans.

I really don't give a shit what it is like for the same reason I don't give a shit what the movie's like. I've seen what it looks like, and it looks like somebody pooped it. I don't want to look at it.

And if it's not made for old fans, that would pretty much be a strike against it from my perspective since I am an old fan.

I really don't give a shit what it is like for the same reason I don't give a shit what the movie's like. I've seen what it looks like, and it looks like somebody pooped it. I don't want to look at it.Well I didn't like how the anime Transformers looked either, but I gave each series a chance.
I still didn't like it, but at least I gave it a chance.

Well, I will give this one a chance to do the following things, and more:

-Have a good story
-Include a person named "Jeffrey Smithens"
-Become the first Transformers series to ever include a talking dog named Bill

However it has already blown its chance to not make me vomit when I look at it, so I'm not going to watch it. So as to avoid vomiting, you know? It's not that complicated.

Once again, I have been denied. So, is the initial wave of movie toys just over, or are there going to be further shipments?

I ran into this little kid there, who for absolutely no reason decided to inform me that "it doesn't come with the Decepticon phone..." I felt bad for him, I guess, but I honestly wanted to say "Who wants Decepticrap anyway, kid?"

Mainly because I didn't know what he was talking about.

There will be tons and tons of shipments of the movie toys

Maybe the "decepticon phone" the kid was looking for is the Real Gear Wire-Tap figure?

I guess it's either that or he wanted a toy of the phone from the movie

They had plenty of Wire-Taps there. In fact, everywhere I've been has had full stocks of Real Gear figures. I don't have anything against them. In fact, Matt from X-E has got me second guessing myself over not getting Spy Shot 6 everytime I see him.

They had Arcee, and I almost bit, but I'm really kicking myself over not getting Ratchet since they had plenty of him. I dunno, I guess I just want Ironhide before I get Ratchet.

Finaly, T.K. realizes the raping of the classics.

Atom, you are an idiot. I've been saying this about the movie and the new series as long as they've existed. If you're referring to my love of some of the newer toy lines, that hasn't gone anywhere.

Also, the term "rape" applied to animated TV shows/toy lines that have movies made about them is utterly stupid. Nobody's raping anything. The classics are still there for you to enjoy, and you're more than welcome to ignore any of the new stuff you don't like.

I was reffering more so to your loving the Beast Wars n' all that other crap. Besides, if it's not continuity it's booty and booties get raped.

And what in hell made you think I stopped loving Beast Wars?

Oh no, I'm sure you do. It's why they went ahead to make more shity Transformer series, perhaps. Old school taking a liking to rehashed classic bashing. The loving of Beast Wars and Beast Machines helped start all the madness, to no end. T.K. this is just my opinion but as soon as they were allowed to change the appearance of the Transformers the classic portrayal of them was lost forever. We can expect nothing but..


CRAP


From now on...

Beast Wars revived the series from a dying breed to something people cared about again

Not to mention that the Japanese series all had a straight up classic look to them so I don't really know what the fuck you're talking about.

You're right that Beast Machines sucked though.

The Japanese got it right because it's their vision anyways, so i'd expect them to keep to the actual look. Don't get me wrong T.K., Beast Wars was well written but nothing beats the creativity and realness of the 80's. I'm one of those guys who HATES Marvel: Ultimates so you get a good idea of where i'm at on this, we're 2 sides of the same scale. The Ultimates totaly rebooted the Marvel universe and the original as we know it went to shit. Beast Wars rebooted the Transformers universe and the original as we know it all but dissapeared. They never fail to bring NO closure to story lines or characters, making for a non-epic so it looses all it's nostalgia and continuity. Even the Greek mythos and their heroes came to an end. I wanted to know what happened to my favorite characters man. I wake up knowing I never will. It's all about money.

Haha, this is a big problem in your life, I see. When you wake up knowing you'll never know what happened to your favorite characters, is it in a cold sweat? Do you find a puddle of urine underneath you?

The "creativity and realness of the 80s" is just what you remember from your childhood. I love the original TF show too but frankly I wouldn't if I hadn't watched it as a kid, and you wouldn't either. The dialogue was horribly cheesy, most of the storylines were contrived and goofy, and many of the characters had entirely flat if not downright stupid personalities. The 1986 movie is another story, of course, but the actual series really didn't involve this creativity you seem to think it did.

If you're talking about the actual toy line, I agree, that was pretty top notch for its day but if that's all you mean, you should hate Transformers because those toys were not made as Transformers, they were old molds taken by Takara and turned into a franchise. Your hardcore posturing should be dedicated to Diaclone and Microman.

If you really found Beast Wars so hideous, fine, I understand you not liking it for the same reasons I already don't like this new cartoon. But you are totally wrong about them not having any closure. Beast Wars did an admirable job of wrapping up all its loose ends in the amount of time they were given to do it all last-minute. It's really a shame they weren't given more notice that they had to end the series, but the last couple episodes are really good and they leave nothing unexplained. I wouldn't know about Beast Machines since I quit watching that garbage after a couple episodes, and all the series after that are not meant to exist in the same continuity as the original and Beast Wars do.

I knew you'd do that. Misunderstand and exaggerate what i'm sayin. You guys always take my words to heart. I feel I make perfect sense, even if you disagree. The toys and the original show are my favorite in design, story and concept and are the GREATEST to date, flaws included. The Decepticons still flew out of a sunken space ship that rose to the surface to battle the Autobots who rolled out of a ship crashed into a volcano. They raced to get to cybertron and Optimus Prime died.


CLASSIC

So you're saying that Beast Wars was supposed to take place after the movie?!

Anyway, Transformers aren't my life and i'm no fan boy in the least. I don't buy the toys and excuses for profit like some either. I stand by my opinion though and that is "older is better" and "continuity is groovy".

Beast Wars is part of the same continuity as Generation 1 you know

Also, for not being a fanboy you sure are making a big deal about all this

Anyway, I'm so sick of the "OLD NOT NEW" attitude, be it music or movies, whatever, everyone is so closed off to any newer incarnation of anything. The new stuff does not always automatically suck, that's bullshit

HAha Ktulu, I'm not carrying on a bias man. I just don't like what i've been seeing. There's something real simple in that. I'm disgusted with that WB style animation or that new age, watered down anime style that even American artists sop up to make the standard. The writters are inspired by cash and marketability. You may think I'm busting a vein over this but I get all my Transformer news from you guys!

BEAST MACHINES WAS SHIT!

Why would a writer not be into cash and marketability? You become a writer...you kind of want to work and make money, it's only natural. Then consider this cartoon is an in-house Cartoon Network show based on a long running series with a huge built in fan base, backed by a huge toyline, it's going to be mainstream and aimed at a younger audience no matter what. Expecting anything else is silly.

Beast Machines being shit or whatever - and? It's dead, long over, you win

Why would a writer not be into cash and marketability?

There's a difference in how I worded it though. I said "inspired by" cash and marketability. Most of them are young and employed by an increasingly impartial, cut throat conglomeration. To me, they are largely powerless and those telling the stories (complete with talking dogs) are CEO's and marketing execs.

They never end a storyline or character because there's money to be made and an older generation to dissapoint. Optimus didnt stay dead just like Megatron the villain because they cant think of anything new and original anymore. Culture and society is going down the pooper along with story telling and originality. That's why Beast machines sucked, because most cartoons do these days. Over the top they are, cartoons today seem (lol)


It's dead, long over, you win




I know, as far as i'm concerned Optimus Prime died durring the war and no one can be resurrected, not without Jesus.


I FEAR THE WOUNDS ARE FATAL

I hate arguing with you, your opinions are so radical and your rebuttals hardly have anything to do with whatever the other person said

Prime didn't stay dead in G1 because kids wanted him back

Into, inspired by, whatever, no matter how you word it, writers want to work on a successful show so they can get paid and hired again for other projects

Who said I was arguing with you and hate is such a strong word. If my replies have little to do with another's post, it's because their post has little to do with mine. My views are not radical Ktulu, they are informed and well rounded.

Example: Did you acknowledge my mention of cold hearted businessmen who'll do anything for money? These are the ones creating these shows currently. Do you see the sucky animation prevelent today? They crank them out like shit pellets and the toys and their bogus designs are an excuse for profit, which they are DEFINATELY making. All this is obvious and you should agree. Much of the TF shows are marketing ploys, thrown together just in time to get cash from a renewed interest in whatever franchise.

I also mentioned the changing of the Transformers appearances, thereby losing the vision of them all together. As far as the kids getting what they want from the shows, I dislike the notion. This is how a creator looses his vision and a company takes over, trying to satisfy demand for the sake of profit. Even if his characters die in the end of his story, once Warner Bros. buys the property they crap all over the intended expression. A true story told, or a story teller should write to tell the story not just to please those being told. From start to finish, as everything has an end, everything but modern fiction (Transformers).

Also, If i'm arguing I argue with facts. You fan boys are funny.

Namor, you are truly the GUIDING HAND.

The gWo respects your territory.

Respect.

I've never seen anyone provide me with an intelligent reason why Beast Machines "sucked". Heck, most of the time the people that say it "sucked" don't even understand what went on in the series.

And I honestly don't see how anyone can say BM wasn't original, especially for Transformers.

You know, the writers behind Beast Machines actually put a lot of thought into what they wrote. It wasn't all mindless marketing and money grubbing.

Oh and um, Optimus Primal and Optimus Prime are two different characters.

"Beast Machines was an animated television series produced by Mainframe Entertainment that was a direct sequel to Beast Wars and is the final television series to take place within the continuity of the original Transformers series. The cause of much controversy among the fanbase, the show ran for two seasons, airing on Fox Kids and YTV from 1999 to 2000. Of the Transformers animated series produced in North America, Beast Machines was the only one to have been completely conceptualized and outlined in advance, lending it a more serialized and linear storyline than the others although the quality of the storylines themselves have been heavily debated amongst Transformers fans."

Yes, I've visited Wikipedia before. I've also seen many of the complaints the fanbase has had. They're mostly all shallow and ill-conceived. "Wah wah wah, the characters actually had development! Oh no, the designs are different and original. It's the end of the world!"

I don't find Optimus Primal original in the least. I just now found out that he's not Optimus Prime, pathetic. So realy, what stands out about the story line or the show it's self?


The cause of much controversy among the fanbase....the quality of the storylines themselves have been heavily debated amongst Transformers fans."

It is debatable though.

I still don't know what Beast Machines has to do with anything, it's been off the air for years, and it's failure helped bring back vehicle based Transformers, THE TROO KIND, TRUKK NOT MUNKY RITE?!?

And so what if fans argued about it? (LET ME CORRECT WHAT I SAID - SO WHAT IF THERE WAS CONTROVERSY)They argue (THERE IS CONTROVERSY) about every fucking thing from every single show, every single toy line, every single toy released, every characterization, every voice actor, you name it. Just because people bitched doesn't mean it's bad or worse than any other series, people bitch about every version of The Transformers.

Have you actually watched Beast Machines? Do you even know the primary themes of the show? It dealt with balance, extremism, and the importance of individuality as opposed to perfect order without free will. Not to mention there was a fine line between who was right and who was wrong on many occasions.

All the heroes were flawed in one way or another, especially Optimus Primal, which further embodied the concept of imperfection versus the "perfection" and machine-like precision that Megatron sought after. The show also introduced theological themes to the Transformers universe, giving the Cybertronians a quasi-religious background that was at that point pretty nonexistent in the cartoon continuity.

So yes, I'd say that's pretty original. Overall, the story of Beast Machines had a purpose as opposed the original 80's cartoon series; which regrettably was little more than a 28-minute toy commercial.

Overall, the story of Beast Machines had a purpose as opposed the original 80's cartoon series; which regrettably was little more than a 28-minute toy commercial.

Nonsense. It's ok that you justify the flop but slamming the original is groundless and unproductive. Transformers dealt with all the major facets of good Vs. Evil that the 80's would've allowed. Megatron, the ruthless militaristic force used by the Quintisons to police the Autobots in their mining opperations; Optimus Prime who started out young and inexperienced became a battle hardened leader who learned his values from being a powerless slave, unfree; Starscream, the treacherous second in command who is the epitome of jealousy and coniving was a good tool for showing the reason why evil never wins; Bumblebee, who was kindly, humble and generous appealed to human nature; Soundwave, in stark contrast to Starscream was loyalty manifest and should have been second in command and the Dinobots, dumb but heartily accepted by the group to their benefit of course.

Mind telling me the story G1 was trying to tell? And don't say good versus evil. And the characters in G1 were based more around archetype than anything; not once does the show get into any deeper philosophical ground surrounding their beliefs. Megatron is bad and doesn't like puny flesh creatures. Optimus is good and heroic and believes all beings deserve freedom. Not much there beneath the surface.

I love G1, but you can't be blinded by nostalgia. Beast Machines was far more complex and story driven. Just because it wasn't as successful doesn't mean anything.

I'm forgeting all about Beast Machines for a second.

it's been off the air for years, and it's failure helped bring back vehicle based Transformers, THE TROO KIND

I guess what the original brought to me and many others is lost on you, Quintly. I dont know how old you are or anything but my guess is that you've only seen Clinton and Bush Jr in office. Whatever, you ask and I answer. G1 made what you THINK you love about any of the others possible. You missed the relevancy of the series to our generation. We grew up without war-time influenced attitudes and GI Joe and Transformers brought it to us in the best way possible in the 80's. Even though there were no deaths, despite all the blue and red lazors flashing across the screen and the cars and buildings that exploded only after the bystanderds got clear, it helped children deal with those concepts, especialy with the qualities of the characters I just mentioned. The Autobots were former slaves, which I identified with very much. The decepticons only following their programming to it's ultimate end, to stalk and terminate rouge worker bots and perfect their killing power to the fullest.

I came to understand and learn that knowing was half the battle and that drugs were bad. You keep talking about the show being an excuse for merchandise, do you know who created Transformers and why? You also complain about the subject matter and relevance of the stories. Did you know that the Movie basicaly flopped at theaters because it was an animation that dealt with subject matter in an adult like manner? Your average Transformers fan would've been too young to understand a lot of the themes and dialogue in the film, not to mention distressed that most of their favourite characters bought the farm early on in the movie.

do you know who created Transformers and why?

Hasbro/Takara and Marvel - to milk money out of pre-existing toys and sell comics

Hahhaaha. Ok, fine. But the comic was well done also and 1st. Still, the character designs are so exceptional you know thought went into it. More than what Michael Bay is capable of.

Did you know that the Movie basicaly flopped at theaters because it was an animation that dealt with subject matter in an adult like manner?

It flopped because it was opened in a very limited number of theaters, was poorly reviewed as a 90 minute commercial across the board, and was released at a time when even Disney couldn't release a successful animated feature


Hahhaaha. Ok, fine. But the comic was well done also and 1st. Still, the characte designs are so exceptional you know thought went into it. More than what Michael Bay is capable of.

The character designs were good in G1, yes, but very simple, and based off of toys that had already been made. Later TF designs have been much sleeker and more complex, and the toys have certainly been better than the original ones in terms of sculpting, complexity, articulation, detail, and durability.

And what does the designs being good prove exactly? Thought, care? You really think the designs of later Transformers were done without thought? Even if they were - it has nothing to do with the quality of the shows.

To each is own I guess. We can argue till' the world blows up but I dont want to waste my last few weeks or months doing so. Design is asthetics and without that you got nothin' I tell ya, NOTHIN'. Even though the toys weren't as advanced as they are now they didnt have neon orange/pink guns and see through lime-green chest plates. I don't hate the new toys but their not the Transformers I know and love. It was cool to know I could buy a Megatron that could actualy transform into a gun or a Prime that could roll across my hard wood floor, no prob.

G1 had metalic stickers and metal parts man! Dark colors and size were a plus. I wouldn't trade um' and you can't make me. Damnit, i'm bying the entire series next check AND some of the original toys. WHAT

G1 has plenty of bright ass colors, neon orange and pink included, and as for size, yeah, there were some big toys, but every TF line to this date has had big figures. Metallic stickers - they tend to peel off or tear, whereas the more current toys have actual sculpted detail and paint (that entails more work than just slapping a picture of circuits onto a flat surface) Metal parts - great but the paint comes off of them easily and makes the toys a lot more expensive to produce, meaning much more expensive to buy

:(

Blueberry Prime



Cover to a 5 CD set of TF music, Japanese of course

Holy shit, that cover kicks ass. I love that they included Rodimus.

You're living in a time warp, Namor. Why don't you go back and actually watch G1 again. You'll find it's not as great as you remember it.

Lies.

Elok, if you think this is bad, you should see him get on the subject of Christianity.

You guys always take my words to heart. I feel I make perfect sense, even if you disagree. The toys and the original show are my favorite in design, story and concept and are the GREATEST to date, flaws included.

You can still love G1 and like the newer stuff too - I do it, as do many others

Yes, G1 Prime is a beautiful toy and has tons of nostalgic value, but Cybertron Prime, MP Prime, and Classics Prime just to name a few are all better toys in various ways. For it's time it was an amazing toy, but toy design has simply gotten better since then, and we've gotten some really great stuff accordingly. New does not mean worse.

For example -

Take the original Darth Vader from 1977:



then compare it to the 1995 POFT2 version:



The newer one has a more detailed and dynamic sculpt, a better likeness, nice paint applications, and his weapon is removable. Overall it just looks much more appropriate than the older one.

Then, compare that one to the 2007 version:



Sculpting has gotten even better, the likeness is even more accurate, and articulation has improved much further.



Just as the newer Primes surrounding the older one here have more intricate sculpting, better engineering to provide more articulation (and thus more playability) and fuller robot modes without large gaps, more durable plastic that can take a lot of damage, no important body parts that can easily be lost as they're all part of the transformation, and more complicated paint schemes. Is the original a good toy? Yes. Does it look great? Yes. Is it the best made, best looking Prime toy ever? Not really.

Toy companies have grown a lot over the years, they really have put more effort into their products over time and people that are into this shit have gotten some great stuff from that. Again, newer does not mean worse, and old and nostalgic does not mean better.

tbh I think old Prime looks like a chunk of poop compared to classics Prime.

Here are some shots I did.





Close up on foot

Pretty good, nice and clear

I know my camera is capable of more than I've been getting out of it, need to practice more with it

Mark, are you drop another 40 bucks for Blueberry Prime?

Mark, are you drop another 40 bucks for Blueberry Prime?

*points finger to the air*

NEVER!

I'm not at all interested in Blueberry Prime. I think I'd rather buy another regular Prime and repaint him to look more "authentic".

I did another video using Robot Heroes Prime and Megs with a sound bite right before they fight in the '86 movie. I'll post it tomorrow since I need to get to sleep.

I just read all the post I missed.
I want to add my 2 cents in, but it's old, so I won't.
I'll only talk about the toys.

I agree, that the newer toys are far better looking than the old toys. However, I would actually prefer an updated version of the old models. When I see "old" Prime, I see Optimus Prime, but when see the other "newer" Primes, all I see is "mech" versions of Prime.

Earlier in this thread, there were pics of non-transformable Prime and Megatron figures in dramatic poses. Those figures were bad ass. If they could make the older Transformer models look more like those, That would be so kick ass.

:D

I only need 5 more and I'll have em all

Oh, and the Botcon Sunstorm exclusive



haha, win

That's what the Masterpiece series is for.

I JUST GOT BACK FROM WATCHING THE MOVIE AGAIN!! WOO HOO!!

And I hope you guys are happy! I think I might buy me a transformers figure just to keep transforming it over and over again. I like Bumblebee...

I JUST GOT BACK FROM WATCHING THE MOVIE AGAIN!! WOO HOO!!

And I hope you guys are happy! I think I might buy me a transformers figure just to keep transforming it over and over again. I like Bumblebee...

I saw it again too on friday. I still love the whole scene when you see the 4 proto forms coming into earth through the part where you get to meet the Autobots and hear them speak.

I think all the Autobot figures are worth owning. Ironhide is my personal favorite. He's a bitch to transform to and from the first few times, but once you get him down he kicks ass. Decepticons, I'd go with Starscream and Barricade.

As a child, I used to quite enjoy this show. The action figures too. But now, with just a few years under my belt as a Pokemon trainer, I seem to have forgotten about my childhood friends Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

Truly, how I wish I could transform once more. How I wish.

You have to prioritize. You need to ask yourself what's more important - Pokemon training or Transforming. *nods*

I am afraid that I will have to stick with Pokemon training. I am just not the Tranformer I used to be. Believe me, I was a great one, one who could fly high in the sky and battle against the evil Megatron. But now, my skills like to the Pokemon. As much as I would like to transform as I once could, I realize that my transforming days are in the past, and my Pokemon adventure are the now and future.

Even still, I hope you can transform like the wind. I hope.

More than meets the eye, Marvin. More than meets the eye.

Hey, I used to transform like nothing. As a kid I was the master at hide and go seek. But by night I was fighting Megatron, then Galvatron. Then that all stopped. Next thing you know I'm traveling around the world on foot fighting Kefka, Sephiroth, Edea, Necron, Sin, etc. All I knew was how to use a sword, ride a chocobo and summon monsters. But in the last few months I'm back to transforming. I don't even drive my car to work anymore, I just transform and roll out.

Oh, to be a transformer again, Marvin. If only I didn't abandon Optimus like I did.

I left him to die... it was my fault, Marvin. Mine.

I still can't forgive myself over it.

Trust me, he lives by the 2-pac motto - "I ain't mad at 'cha". He's just mad at Rodimus for fucking everything up before he came back to life, but what's weird about Optimus is he still likes Hotrod. o.O

Optimus said you are more then welcome to come back.

Check out Jin Saotome's new TF Movie customs, nice paint upgrades and such. He's a fairly "famous" kitbasher, Toyfare magazine even hires him to do stuff for them from time to time. He makes a pretty nice living off this stuff too, sells his work on eBay and does commissioned pieces for people on message boards, etc.

Anyway, most of the TFs are mainly paint upgrades, but there is a bit more to it than that as you'll see, and when it is just painting, it does make the figures look a shit load better

I'm rather fond of his Wreckage:

SPREEM

That's not Rumble.

so anyone saw the movie yet? how is it? cause i am planning to see it tomorrow

That's not Rumble.

You're right, the blue one is Frenzy.

The old cartoon got their names mixed up

What is that Omega Supreme from, Ktulu?

Please say Robot Heroes.

I can't find a pic of it online, and it makes me sad, but I got an Optimus Prime 3 ring binder today. I'm using it for class, because I'm cool like that. Also got Fast Action Battlers Jazz today, yeah I know nothing to be excited over but apprently I collect Jazz figures because I can't find Ironhide :puppydog:

The notebook is bitchin' I assure you.

Those repaints are nice!
I especially like Bumblebee, but his car form has big gaps (or it looks more apparent with the darker repaint).

I collect Jazz figures

If you don't have Alternators Jazz (Meister), grab one off eBay NOW

TK the Omega Supreme is a statue, probably will be pricey, sorry :O

I bet Robot Heroes WILL get a Omega Supreme though, especially if they do the bigger scale ones

Yeah I really want that, and some of the combiners. Think how cool they would look next to the little ones!

That would be cool, I'd like to see A Devastator the size of that 16 inch Build-a-Sentinel.
It'll suck if they do them like the mini-formers and disregard scale.

Are they going to do any more Ultimate class movie toys, cause, uh, you know. They owe him some hands/arms!

What I want to see is a Tranformer twice as big as me!

How about this: Human Transformers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akNJ6S2UqsE) lol

The Heroes of Cybertron line, all hailing from Japanese PVCs, had build a figure Fortress Maximus and Metroplex, bigger than the regular ones

Consider that Hasbro now owns the Marvel license and has continued the BAF thing with the Marvel Legends, perhaps they will go that route with larger robot heroes


Are they going to do any more Ultimate class movie toys, cause, uh, you know. They owe him some hands/arms!

That'd be too expensive for them to produce probably, one is probably all they'll do

Just saw the movie and thought it was pretty fun. I'll go back on my initial complaints and eat my words-the Transformers character designs were fantastic!. Sure some of them looked too different from their 80's cartoon counter parts but it didn't bother me that much. It was quite fun even if it did slow down about halfway through. I mean, I went in there not exactly expecting Schindler's list part 2. What I got was what I expected, huge robots, cheesy acting and explosions.

Starscream was pretty lame though :(

What was lame about Starscream to you

He did the most damage while taking the least

For what he was he was quite awesome. The CGI while he transformed gave me a visual orgasm. Still, his design was too hard to swallow. It was just too different from the original for me.

But yeah, even though I hated his design some of the films best action scenes involved him.

I don't like his design either but really, him kicking ass made up for it



If just one of those makes it, has to be Soundwave

I hope you make it, Ktulu. :-*

*dials phone#*

Michael Bay: "Hey, Ultra Magnus. I'm working on Transformers 2 and we'd like you to join the roster"

Ultra Magnus: "I can't deal with that now!"

*hangs up*

The correct answer is Hot Rod. Shockwave is actually in the movie game :smrt:

I want Jetfire. Someone has to chase Starscream and his cronies.

I think we can safely say Soundwave, Grimlock and Devistator will be in the sequel. As a fellow Hodrod fan, I would LOVE to see him in the movie, but I think they should save him for part 3 to make a great climax. Shockwave should be in the next 2 films but just like in the cartoon as a cameo. I think we all can agree Ultra Magnus is a dick. So let's hold him out as long as possible with as little air time as possible. And I never cared for Jetfire, but that's just me. So that leaves us with the Insecticons, Ravage and Mirage. For me it's a tie with Ravage and Mirage since I can care less about the Insecticons. I will now flip a coin and Mirage called heads since Ravage doesn't speak...

It's heads. We need Mirage in the next movie.

And for what it's worth, the coin I used was a North Dakota quarter.

I do quite like Mirage

I would say Ravage. Soundwave has to have Ravage or Lazerbeak.

Mirage would be a good addition

Jetfire is okay, but would make a good equal to Starscream.

The Insecticons could make sense, and could include Scorpinox

Ultra Magnus is weak

Sorry, but I've always hated Hot Rod.

I endorse the entirety of Mark's post.

Yay! I'm full of win! http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-very-happy.gif

When aren't you full of win?

This is where I fully explain myself, if I haven't already. There are two TFs above Jazz in my heart, which probably isn't readily apparent given my statements in this thread. He's certainly my favorite of those chosen for the movie treatment, so it isn't all that surprising. Everyone raves about Soundwave, but Blaster was always my favorite of the two. Still have him on the shelf above my desk. Sitting next to him is Hot Rod and Rodimus.

Roddy, always and forever.

I liked them both, but a Walkman is more practical than a Boom Box.

Do you mean in terms of being in one of the movies? If you do, we already had Frenzy, so yeah I don't expect to ever see Blaster make the scene.

If you mean in terms of pure toy/character model, it was the 80s both made perfect sense, I think.

Also, if I totally missed your point, it may be because I can't see that pic you posted.

It's the lil'formers strip with Blaster and Soundwave arguing about who make the best mixtapes.

I was refering to your comment about how everyone raves about Soundwave rather than Blaster. When I was a kid, I always liked Soundwave cause you could take him around as a walkman, rather than lug him around like a boom box.

Anyways:
You never know, maybe Blaster will come out as an answer to Frenzy!

Oh yeah, I've read that one. See, what it is, is that I used to carry lunchboxes around ALOT as a kid (perhaps why that scene in the Wizard tears me up so bad?) and Blaster was a brilliant substitute. Sure, I didn't get to carry a bunch of stuff in that tradeoff, but hey it was Blaster, who needs a pail full of crap when you've got Blaster? :p

Hey, Lunchboxes kick ass! Especially the tin ones!
I always wanted one, but since I had school lunches, I never really needed them :sad:

So you would've rather been starving, but with a kick ass toy. lol

Oh, not to school. I used to carry lunchboxes around EVERYWHERE. Always had to have an assortment of toys and other crap. I'd still do it today, but I just make sure my desk and car is loaded with stuff to fiddle with. My current baubble is Legends class Jazz. Before that it was a rainbow slinky.

I'm convinced I was never diagnosed with ADHD.

lol
I never took transformers around, unless I had just bought them. I mostly carried G.I. Joes in my pockets.

My car is clean, except for a lil' big head Magneto I stuck on my dashboard.

My room on the other hand, is full of crap. It's small as it is, and all the piles of crap make it smaller. lol

My car is clean. My room is a mess and I have Transformers all over the place because I don't have room to store them like all my Final Fantasy figures.

I really only want 2 FF figures. I just haven't got around to getting them. You know what they are.

This brings up something I've been wondering about; Why did they chose the name Blaster over the Japanese Broadcast? I know this is nick picking here but for some reason the name Broadcast sounds better suited to a Stereo cassette player than Blaster.

I read something about it being an abbreviated from of GhettoBlaster, a term for boomboxes. Also, Blaster sounds hella cooler than Broadcast, right?

There are numerous name differences between Japan and the US, it just happens

Jazz is called Meister in Japan for example

True,
IMO though, when I see a Boom Box, the first thing that comes to mind is blasting music loud.

Yeah, a BoomBox is also called a Ghetto Blaster

Hmm. I forgot about that the "Ghetto-blaster" term. It's been a long time. Yeah Blaster does sound better than Broadcast, Hmm. A funny thought just occurred to me, if they ever released the Japanese Transformers episodes when Soundwave was rebuilt and renamed I would love to seem he rechristened as Ghetto-blaster. It just seems like a decepticon type name. :)

lol,
how about Soundblast, or Ghettowave!

lol. Of course we can call the rebuilt Blaster, Master Blaster or something. :)

Yeah
or Blastmaster, or Mixmaster.

For some reason, I always thought DJ would've been good for Blaster's name

lol,
how about Soundblast

The rebuilt Soundwave in TF: Headmasters is called Soundblaster

The rebuilt Broadcast/Blaster is Twincast btw

DJ makes sense. Especially in the 80s. So just curious here, How big was everyone's G1 Transformers collection? I know I had quite a few. I'll have to sit down and and try to remember them all.
edit: I was aware of that. also Scorpinok was originally called Mega Zarak in the Japanese version as well.

I thought Soundblast sounded familiar!

I also thought why blaster wasn't tagged on, or had a giant piece painted on him.

I found this design of fanart () that I thought look cool!

I really only want 2 FF figures. I just haven't got around to getting them. You know what they are.

I believe I have 1 of those 2. Is it Selphie?





If so I'm sorry to say she doesn't want you. She wants Bumblebee...
























GET A ROOM YOU TWO!

lol! God were deprived people aren't we? Like the fanart btw. I might have to dig out those pics I got of that one Transformes comic where some of the decepticons were acivated in the late 1900s era.
edit: It was called Transformers: Hearts of Steel

How big was everyone's G1 Transformers collection?

Mine is pretty small, I didn't have many as a kid because I was a little too young and they were more expensive than some of the toys I did have, like GI Joe figures. I had an original G1 Prime that was a hand-me-down from a cousin without the trailer or weapons, the Technobots Scattorshot and Lightspeed, the Pretender Cloudburst, Powermaster Prime, a Micromaster set and like...that was it. I was watching the show since I was born pretty much and I love TFs, I just didn't get to have a lot of the toys.

I've since added a decent amount of reissues to the collection, but it's not as cool as having the actual original ones. I also bought Runabout and Runamuch off of eBay a few years ago because they were hilariously cheap. The old PM Prime I had was stolen or something along with a lot of other toys, and I later bought one at a comic store for 45 bucks. Dumb move since it wasn't even fully complete and the much better Japanese reissue came out like a year or two later for...5 bucks more.



I found this design of fanart () that I thought look cool!

That's TFW2005's mascot "Boombox"

How big was everyone's G1 Transformers collection?

As a kid I had Hotrod, Blur, Sixshot and Mindwipe. I had to draw the rest of my collection. When the G2 Series came out I had the complete Constructicon set in Selphie dress yellow, but I wished I had the G1 green. When the commemorative series came out I picked up Ultra Magnus, but last year during my depression after losing my ex, I cleaned out my closet and he was gone. Don't care really since he was a dick anyway. I just wish I kept him so I could flip him on ebay.

Ok found them.

o_O *drool* O_o

lol

My G1 collection:
Soundwave with Ravage, Lazerbeak, Rumble and Frenzy
Optimus Prime
Jetfire (Valkyrie repaint)
Snarl or Sludge (can't remember which I had)
Protectobot Hot Spot
Insecticon Shrapnel
a few Constructicons (never completed Devastator)

and 3 Gobots:
Cy-kill
I forgot the others


I also had a few various Japanese anime mechs (never knew the series they came from) that looked cool.

I have quite a lot of G1's. Boxes full in fact. It was my main obsession as a kid, and my parents obliged very generously. Since Ktulu let me know that Monstructor was late G1, I have to say my entire collection is G1, save my movie Jazzes and Prime.

Were action masters G1? Cause I have ActionMaster Blaster. Oh and now I have to buy "beater" Bumblebee......and Selphie, of course.

LordBrimstone -

http://www.tfmaster.com/gallery_kb0237.php



Were action masters G1?

Yes

By the way, Target is releasing a two-pack with the 70s Bumblebee and 08 Bumblebee together. Only thing is the 08 one in the package has a "battle damange" finish


lol
Snarl or Sludge (can't remember which I had)


If it helps - Snarl is the stegosaurus, Sludge is the brontosaurus.

OK let's see here
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Prowl, Hound, Hot Rod. Brawn, all Dinobots, Blaster,
Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, skywarp, Soundwave, Astrotrain, all Consturcticons and Predacons and those are just the ones I can remember. I had alot more than that. Most of these were given to me by my neighbor's friend who was going to college and knew I liked Transformers.

Unfortunately when me and my parents left to Hawaii 19 years ago they, left my Transformers collection and the Flagg behind at my Grandmother's house and have since disappeared. Grrr.
Edit Holy Shit! I Wants that!

Sold! If my Targets ever get their act together.

Maybe you'll luck up and it'll be cheaper than buying them separately, sometimes Hasbro is generous enough to do that. The Ultra Magnus/Skywarp two pack was 20 bucks for example, even though UM would've cost exactly that alone.

I forgot, I also had the Takara Megatron.
If knew then what I know now, I would still have them today. :notgood:

I forgot, I also had the Takara Megatron.
If knew then what I know now, I would still have them now. :notgood:

You had a Japanese Megatron in the 80s?

Yep!
My mom was a seamstress, and she would constantly take me to Downtown L.A to buy fabrics.
There used to be a number of import toy shops around there.
That's why I had so many mech toys from different animes.


I know it's a Takara Megatron 'cause I recognized the packaging, and mine came with all the accessories.
Also, my Soundwave was the Takara Soundwave.

That's pretty cool man

I have a reissue Megatron and I quite love it.

As far as I know, the only accessories the US Megatron didn't come with was the sword and the tiny bullets.

Blueberry Prime vehicle mode

I don't liike blueberry Prime.

I don't liike blueberry Prime.

I like it.
I think all it needs is "blackwash" (FYI-today's toys have this especially Spawn toys. the black paint that gets between the crevices to make details show) for the details to pop.

the only thing is, now it sort of looks like Ultra Magnus though

the only thing is, now it sort of looks like Ultra Magnus though

I knew there was a subconscious reason I didn't like it.

the only thing is, now it sort of looks like Ultra Magnus though

Ultra Magnus is a dick.

I don't see how blue/silver makes it look like Ultra Magnus.

I don't see how blue/silver makes it look like Ultra Magnus.

Oh, I concur. However I still believe Ultra Magnus is a dick.


Jus' sayin'.

Well, seeing how Ultra Magnus was basically the same type of semi like Prime, except blue.

Well UM's cab was white (and Hasbro tends to just go the white route when doing a Prime as UM repaint) and the trailer more red than blue. I'm not saying it couldn't be UM but that odd turqouise/silver combination doesn't really remind me of him.

Out of insane boredom I went to see the movie again today. Finally heard Bonecrusher yelling "I hate you!" to Prime, haha. Also, I think I heard Bumblebee say "I'll get you" in a very strained voice when catching Sam and Mikaela from their fall under the bridge, but perhaps I'm crazy

Maybe we are just too eager to see UM and bash him. Am I crazy in thinking that the movie almost drives children to hate Ultra Magnus in favor of Rodimus? On the other hand, for the longest time I hated Kup, but now I love him almost as much as Roddy himself. Appreciating the experience of your elders assuredly comes with age, but I still really really loathe Magnus.

I've always liked Kup. He was the daddy I never had. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/nine_fenrir/robot%20faces/16x16_robot-sad.gif

Ultra Magnus is the man. Fuck you haters. Wasn't his fault he couldn't open the Matrix. He did his best. He just couldn't deal with it then. =(

Well I was a very young kid at the time, I felt like Hot Rod did. I didn't need to hear stories about a past I wasn't part of. I knew exactly what I was doing all the time. But I definitely came around to loving Kup like no tomorrow. I was kinda mad at my parents for buying his toy for me. That changed too.

I like magnus.

Transformers suck ass

Boy, Mr. Seifer, you are such a negative person.

What do you think we should do about this?

I too like Magnus. Even though he apparently wasn't "worthy" of the Matrix he still pretty much had to babysit Rodimus until Prime came back. Pretty goofy writing, how the big "chosen one" wasn't really all that, it kind of doesn't make sense. I know they just went the "inexperience" route with it but then that kind of undermines the whole "matrix has the knowledge of all past leaders" thing too, and just the fact that if he wasn't really worthy of being a leader, then him being able to unlock the matrix didn't make much sense either.

Goodness, better stop thinking now before I start listing all of the other million things fanboys have argued about for 20 years.

Anyway - Magnus has the best line in any G1 cartoon

"That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Ok, hand me the bomb."

Transformers suck assWhy the hell are you posting in this thread then?

ANYWAYS!

It's not that I hate Ultra Magnus, it's just that he tends to except middle command than full command, which made him buckle under pressure.

I hated Hot Rod. I forgot why though, maybe for the same reason Kneg likes him.

You've figured me out.

EDIT: Mr. Seifer is a right cunt. It's been said before, it needs to be said again. Not in this thread, however.

Back on topic: I like Rodimus because he was unsure of himself as leader. I actually fell into quite a lovely situation like that in my own life. In retrospect (and looking at those who succeeded me), I think I did a very decent job, but at the time I did nothing but bemoan my performance. In essence, I've never fully liked Optimus, fell in love with Hot Rod, had a joygasm about an hour after meeting him when he became Rodimus, and ended up identifying with him even more later in my "adult" life.

That's the long and short of it.

that's why I hated both of them.
Hot Rod was always second guessing himself, and hated listening to advice from Kup.
Rodimus was only confident as a second leader.

It's probably why I find that you tube parody so funny.

Don't get me wrong, Rude Awakening is funny as all hell.

Why the hell are you posting in this thread then?

ANYWAYS!

Oh good

Just saw the movie on Saturday, and its....even better than I thought it would be, Yes it beats the shit out of everything else Micheal Bay has made, but this would be his best and only great film he directed.

Certainly kick his other work in the ass, I guess mainly because there's a pretty decent idea behind it, and thankfully Hasbro and the writers convinced him to make it as close to the franchise as he did, before they butted in and said a few things had to be certain ways, it was gonna be a fucking generic alien invasion movie.



AH-CHA CHA CHA

Lawls

Word Ebichu, word.

I saw it on Saturday. I enjoyed it. I didn't expect a comedy but still well worth the time. It was no Die Hard 4.0 however...

Holy shit! That's an awesome picture Ebichu. The artist should of made the Boombox look like Blaster though, but that's minor.

I was going to say this myself, but I'm sure there is a reason he didn't that Ktulu will elaborate to us shortly. Because he is the TOME OF TF KNOWLEDGE.

Accordingly, could you tell me anything about this guy, Ktulu?

I can't tell if that's supposed to be complimentary or sarcastic :(

Complimentary, of course. Also, please look up, I've posed a question.

Just fan created versions of a Dinobot combiner, you can see in the two pictures that there's two different versions. Anyway, there's been a few kitbashes of that. Here's one: http://www.tfmaster.com/gallery_kb0067.php

The arrangement is different than the above art but you can see some of the same ideas used, particularly the first picture

Sweet. I did always feel bad for the Dinobots not having a gestalt form.

It's also why Energon Swoop and Grimlock combine, just trying to cater to the fan desire to see a Dinobot combiner

I never really thought about it, I think it's fine that they're just a team of 5 guys and that's it, no fancy "we make a bigger robot" stuff. They're pretty big as it is anyway really, larger than most Autobots, Optimus included.

I'm a Voltron guy, it's in my nature to want a gestalt. Always :D

Voltron?! You mean the cartoon that used the same attack frame 4 times to illustrate a battle?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472429/

Definetly badass!

That is extremely Megazordy.

Hay people plz to halp me out really quick here

In the Headmasters dub I've been working on, I've now taken over the role of Soundwave/Soundblaster, and I've been trying to get the vocoder effect right

Now, before the effect we all know Welker was just doing his Dr. Claw voice and I've got that down just fine, but getting the vocoding to sound 'right' isn't so easy. Most other attempts I've heard make him sound way too high pitched (like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=9TYzRanykbQ) and it sounds silly. I'm trying to get as close to the Welker version as possible

Anyway after screwing around with the vocoder in the music sequencing program I use I came up with this sound, doing a line from the old movie:

http://media.putfile.com/soundwave-sample

So what do you guys think, AM I DOING IT RITE? I don't think it's dead right yet but I think it's getting there.

HEY THANKS GUYS



Hello Decepticons

Oh sorry for not responding Ktulu. For some reason it's not letting me play the soundfile. Is the link gone or is there just something wrong with my player?

Don't worry about that

Talk about Decepticons

OK, Decepticons. I always thought the Decepticons were cool. My favorite Decepticons in no particular order are Soundwave, the Constructicons, Megatron, Galvatron, and Blitzwing. For some reason in Armada I ended up liking Starscream over a lot of the other characters in the show, which is strange because I didn't particularly care for him in G1.

Something that has recently tickled me was the hypocrisies in each sides' dogma. Ok, on the autobot's side you have Optimus talking about working with other races to help them, and also to protect them from the forces of evil. Yet, Optimus's form is that of a big rig with a Trailer that has some serious firepower inside plus some other little helper bots. That made Optimus rather self-sufficient. OK, nothing really bad until you look at the other side of the coin. The Decepticons believe in power and subjugation over all. The decepticons, though driven to work together by their overlord, Megatron, squabble amongst each other to establish a pecking order, and some even seek to gain enough power to overthrow Megatron. However, Megatron turns into a freaking handgun that another Decepticon will use to defeat their enemies with, thus putting Megatron in an almost subservient role. It's only after Megatron turns into Galvatron do we see the example of overwhelming personal power portrayed by the Decepticon Leader.

Yeah, I know what I said is probably total BS, but it's funny to look at all that from a analytical perspective.
Edit: Btw, is that Black Arachnia amongst those decepticon shadows?

So what do you guys think, AM I DOING IT RITE? I don't think it's dead right yet but I think it's getting there.

haha

That's awesome, Ktulu. :D

It sounds pretty darn similar if not perfect imo. Although, having it at more of a high pitched tone might help.

I should have let you know that I did try, Ktulu. The file wasn't working for me either, though :sad:

I think he means the decepticons in the new series, LB. The one on the far right looks like the Lilformers version of movie Megs :D

LB yeah that's Blackarachnia

it appears to be from left to right, Starscream, Blackarachnia, Blitzwing (the monocled one), Lugnuts possibly, and Megatron

Denny - thanks

So I've taken the time to listen to it over and over. I think the voice sounds really great, however I think you need to not inhale in between each word so much. Try to work on saying more on one breath, but not too much as to where you have to take one long breath to finish the last 1 or 2 words.

As far as I know I didn't do that, maybe it's just something going on with the effect? Not sure, will listen and try to see what you mean though

Thanks for listening

So what do you guys think, AM I DOING IT RITE? I don't think it's dead right yet but I think it's getting there.

It sounds pretty close. I think the main difference is that Soundwave is a teeny bit less deep. If it was like a fraction higher pitched I'd say it was nearly spot-on. Even as it stands though I think it would work fine for a fan dub, I mean how close can you get actually get to sounding like Frank Welker.

I always thought megatron was dumb. Why turn into a weapon? If you already have a gun on your arm?

Well, at least Tom didn't use Jazz. That would have been the final injustice :p

I've always preferred Megs as a gun, to the point that I think Classics Megs is beautiful and I would purchase it if I ever saw it in person. I dunno, I just really hate Tanks in general. For any character, even. I really like that Hearts of Steel one LB posted, though [ftr, I know that isn't a tank, my point is that it is a non-handgun].

Hahaha..

OK scenario
"oh no everybody transform the autobots are coming", various tanks and jets, a huge robot formed by normal sized robots, Megatron just clinks and lands on the floor.

Someone was usually (I want to say always, but I can't be sure of that) around to use him, usually Starscream or Soundwave.

Thanks. When no one really answered here I just put it on the private area of TFW2005 and got so many conflicting responses, too high, too low, effect is wrong, too much of the original voice still in, not melodic enough (which I say is bullshit, Soundwave is fucking monotone) and blah and blah and I just said screw this I'll just see what the guy in charge of the dub thinks.

He didn't like it.

I'm just doing the voice and letting someone else do the effect. If it turns out with that high pitched singing sounding shit I'm going to be pissed.

Smarties you sound like a guy I met in high school, he hated Beast Wars just because Megatron was purple initially. THERE AINT NO PURPLE DINOSAURS MAN. THAT'S BARNEY. BEAST WARS SUCKS.

It must be so awesome folding your arms, finding reasons to hate the big bad children's cartoon.

Think of it this way - Megatron initially got his gun mode as a form of disguise. Then, whenever he doesn't feel like just rushing into battle, he transforms into the gun for another Decepticon to use, making it harder for him to actually take any damage, and making it easier for said Decepticon to give more out because holding a really powerful fucking gun. He doesn't always transform into the gun, and often does just fight with the cannon on his arm.

I love transformers, if I didn't I wouldn't bother looking at this thread, I always found it weird that everyone turned into some warcraft machinery and he would just sit back and turn int a gun for others to use, when he could have easily used himself.

The new IDW comics do a pretty great job of giving a believable reason for Megatron's mass-shifting gun mode.

I remember hearing somewhere that his gun form was more deadly than his cannon arm. Something about all his available energy not being taken up by his robot form. You know, optics n' all.

Yeah!

I have to say my favorite mass-shifting faux-pas is Astrotrain being big enough for the Constructicons to form Devastator in, when not 2 minutes before they were almost ducking to get in individually :p

Me grimlock, not idiot. Dinobots ftfw

Smarties I was just messing around man :p
