Transformers

Wow!

I don't know why, but that strikes me as just plain funny! Must be because of a Robot Chicken parody I saw a while ago.

 

[Feraud]

Looks like it is going to be awesome!!

 

[Matthew Dalton]

I grew up with the original show, I just hope they don't COMPLETELY ruin it. It was bad enough watching what the Japanese are doing with the franchise... Now there's these guys giving Optimus the "Pimp My Ride" treatment.

Transformers, more than meet's the eye. Transformers, robots in disguise.

Is this the same thing or am I totally off. I can't see the preview for some reason

That is the one!

Yahoooo!!! I loved them!!!!!

 

[Feraud]

I never watched the show but my youngest brother did. He still has many of the original Transformer toys tucked away at home. One in particular I remember transformed from a robot to a tape deck. There was a cassette tape inside that transfomed into a bird!

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

Oh how I wish I still had all of mine. They were sooooo coooool! Not that I was a tomboy or anything

 

[Feraud]

This is off topic but I wish I had all those Star Wars characters I collected as a kid..:eusa_doh:

 

[Matthew Dalton]

I wish I still had my Transformers...

It does look really great! And a little creepy too! I don't think my wife will want to see it, so it's probably going to be a "Nerds Night Out" for me and my friends.

 

[Feraud]

Yes it is a little creepy. That is what I like about it. I hope they keep the dramatic edge and not turn it into a goof like Independence Day. The last thing I want to pay for is the old "hot shot pilot with witty quips in the face of danger" routine..
where is the puke icon when you need it?

Ha ha ha, I agree! Keep the dramatic edge.

OMG! Soundwave (the cassette player robot) was one of my favorite of the robots growing up! He not only had the bird (Thunderbeak) cassette, but Ravage (a panther), Ratbat (bat), Rumble/Frenzy (a small man). Gosh, those are some fond memories!

Does anyone remember one of the less popular robots, the Autobot that transformed into a microsope/telescope? Being a nerdy boy growing up, I had a particular fondness for him.

 

[Matthew Dalton]

Yeah I remember him, I think it was a friend of mine's childhood goal to get the toy version of it, which I understand was quite rare.

I liked Wheeljack best.

 

[scotrace]

I think the guys that did the animation landed the job because of their work here.

 

[Feraud]

The guys did a nice job in the commercial. I will see the movie with the condition that there are no dancing robots... Unless the film closes with a technicolor dance sequence.

 

[Matthew Dalton]

Cheesy dancing and speeches would probably go well with the original Transformers though...

It is so cool to know that we have some Transformers fans in the Lounge! Anyone have a fave Decepticon or Autobot? I like Optimus Prime and Starscream.

I allready proclaimed my favorite Autobots (see previous post), but my favorite Deceptacons were those 5 robots, the Constructicons, who combined to form one larger robot, Devastator.
