I havent gotten leader prime yet but Im planning on it. looks very cool.
I was thinking the same thing, I thought C. prime was THE transformer to own, he falls somewhere between awesome and crumbelievable, its just a shame one of the wing tips is super loose and looks retarded in alt mode because of it. but still, crumbelievable

A interview with a Takara Tf designer.
Surprisingly, heās an Australian duded and was repsonisble for the design of classics of mirage , and classics bumblbeeās transformation sequences.
one of the greatest customs ever, shame that hasbro went with that flat, wacky unattractive color scheme for megatron.
just picked up movie deluxe bonecrusher today. its pretty cool, I like it more than barricade. I was thinking of getting starscream too but they way the shoulders are attached just turns me off completely, theyre not even attached to the torso!
Yikes, Iām sorry if I said too much. I hope it can be reopened once it does hit Stateside.
Leader Class Prime is an awesome toy. I was almost tempted to buy another one and paint it to mimmic his G1-coloring style.
Pics of the upcoming TF: Encore figures:

Im not sure if I want to pick them up, considering I already have all four figures. Packaging looks nice though.
Elements of recent Hollywood movies that I saw:
Epic scope (they always make the big budgeted movies like this), with its landscape and everything - check
Epic music, which means Hans Zimmer (or someone who can generate a similar tune) will be hired - check
Pro democracy stance (theme), which will put emphasis on the individualās right to make a choice (often gray in nature, as opposed to the black and white nature of morality based on some mainstream religions). This will, in a way, pseudo-intellectualize the film. - check
Exaggerate number three further but putting in contemporary themes like incorporating concepts from the war on terror, etc. - check
Incorporate humor, even if weāre unsure if it will blend with the epic scope of the movie, since humor is always entertaining (cough Pirates cough Caribbean cough) - check
In case of Michael Bayās rendition:
There will be an pre-apocalyptic scenario, and expect some asteroids - check.
Heck, maybe expect an Armageddon-ish music as well - check
To make things more thrilling, expect to see some governmet officials getting to upbeat on the pre-apocalyptic scenario to make the apocalyptic scenario worldwide in scope - check.
Expect the film to be instantly zoomed in from its epic scope once the focus becomes two lovers who are seemed to be too coerced to play a key role in the grander scope of things. - check.
The verdict:
It doesnāt matter how much the movie follows all-the-known rules when you see Starscream transform in mid air and beat the hell ***************. LOL! You know the movie is going to rock and youāre going to buy the Leader Class Optimus Prime figure. LOL!
Edit: Canāt put spoiler tags.
Also saw leader class prime and megsā¦must hold onto money!!! Moving in a month!!!
Agent Guile - Spoilers and movie discussion in the movie thread. Should be on the next page, if not, just search it.
^It got closed by Javi, he said that non-US folk like AG and I should wait for the Stateside opening (and maybe the movie thread will be reopened).
This is from the '86 movie. A lot of āwhat the fuckā moments:

I honestly think the last hour of this movie was done by Koreans.
I am going to remind you bitches - NO SPOILERS UNTIL TOMORROW!
I donāt know if the new TF animated series has been discussed but some things have been confirmed, others hinted at. A voice cast is already out
Bumblebee - Bumper Robinson (apparently in a Chris Rock-esque performance)
Bulkhead - Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick from Spongebob)
Prowl - Jeff Bennett
Ultra Magnus - also Jeff Bennett
Arcee - Susan Blu (also the voice director, she was also Arcee in G1)
Blackarachnia - Cree Summer
Jazz - Phil Lamarr (for those of you who were asking)
Corey Burton - Shockwave (he was G1 Shockwave too)
Tom Kenny - A Constructicon (Tom Kenny is Spongebob, among many other roles)
A garbage truck (Junkion?) - āWeird Alā Yankovic
Lugnut (David Kaye)
Starscream (Tom Kenney)
Ratchet (Corey Burton)
Prime (David Kaye)
Yeah for Corey Burton who originally voiced Shockwave, hopefully itās comic shockwave though. David Kaye is good, he voiced Megatron in BW, as well as Kim in the Fatal Fury anime. We got Green Lantern voicing Jazz, aw hells yeah! Then Ultra Magnus/Prowl is a voice actor from Gargoyles who voiced Brooklyn, Owen Burnett and the Magus.
^Well, the voice cast sounds nice at least. Too bad everything else looks like a train wreck, but I guess weāll see how it all plays out.
Can we actually just say no spoilers in this thread at all? Japan doesnāt get the movie until August. :sad:
@Az
How does that work (or perhaps, āwhyā would be a better keyword)? Thatās weird, especially since the rest of Asia got it a week ahead of the States. :B
I dunno. Japanās usually behind America on a lot of movies. If itās something really big, they might get it at the same time. We actually got Spider-Man 3 a few days before America. But we didnāt get 300 until the beginning of June.
Also Arcee seems to do a voice of someone for every Transformers series. IIRC she was Transmutate in Beast Wars too.
I just saw itā¦me and my buisness partner JULIO were cruiseing threw ATLANTIC STATION and some girl from DUBAI gave us a free pass to the early screening with 95.5 THE BEAT ( a local radio station) ā¦before the movie the radio personalties had triviaā¦ i awnsered one question correct and got a 95.5 THE BEAT shirt (lame)ā¦but the movie was freaking incredibleā¦the best action iver ever seen in a movieā¦it doesnt surpass the DARTH MAUL fight scene but it does deliver big time and rivals it since its alot of CDGā¦the movie rocked!!!
