I think you’re missing the fact that the toys are made for kids, and that the younger kids that like the FABs probably don’t care so much about paint apps and whatnot.
I see what you mean, but kids can still tell the difference between bland looking bricks and the more badass alternative.
even if the FABs are intended for the younger set, why market inferior versions of the same characters at the same price point?
I hated the movie, it was sub par at best…I’d give reasons but latter I’m tired…
I open and play/display/pose my transformers. Except for about 3, which are still in the packaging.
I don’t know what happened to the thread, but the movie when watching it was mildly amusing, after dinner I agree 100% with what zigmover said in the thread.
Still it was a nice try at a first effort.
I agree. I think the concept of Galvs vehicle mode was better (self-firing cannon as opposed to gun that someone else has to hold and fire), but overall Megatron was just a better character. I didn’t like most of the design of the bots from S3 actually.
If it wasn’t for Starscream’s coronation scene, I would agree with you gentlemen.
As it stands: Nimoy don’t play, son.
This guy gave me a good idea of what I’m gonna do to mine.
His great…mine will be better. Pics coming soon.
there’s speculation that Hasbro will release a re-colored movie accurate leader class Megatron.
Same here. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be but it still sucked - and it wasn’t even the robot designs that did it. Some fucking moron on the Spawn boards actually said they prefer the TF movie over 300. Give me a fucking break. 
I also agree that a Galvatron type transformation would have been best for movie Megs. Having him transform into a space plane was really quite lame and was an easy way out for the character designers.
Soundatron - of course they will. That’s what Hasbro does intentionally. They repaint everything they release at least three times. They’re already repainting the shit out of most the movie toys. Starscream and Jazz already have G1 colors annnounced :rolleyes:, and I read that several others will have “battle damage” colors as well. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Oh yeah, and WTF is this shit?

Jazz gets torn in half and dies yet Frenzy gets his head cut off and he lives?
Kyoji showed me a rumor about Jazz coming back in the second flick. So yeah, they don’t ALWAYS stay dead forever. Being alive means more toys and more toys mean more money. EVERYONE goes home happy.
say what?
Spoiler
Frenzy lives?
Talking about when Mikaela gets ahold of that buzzsaw when Bumblebee and Barricade are fighting…
thankkk you.
haha…next movie jazz needs to come back and call spike a jive ass turkey.
The funny thing is, the repaint for Jazz(coming soon) explains why he has his G1 colors. So, maybe the toys tie into the movie continuity? That’s just great marketing all around. Plus, he got ripped in half. It’s not like he was blown apart or something. If Ratchet can’t fix that, then he really needs to get fired and head back to med-school.
And I need an avatar of Bumblebee lubricating the Sector 7 dude.
Actually, there are several toys coming out that are characters straight from the video games. Also, a transforming version of the tow truck.
lol ratchet is not that beastly…madd transformers in the movie died who could have been put together. fools were like uhhh he’s dead jim…and all they got is like a blaster wound to the side lol.
im starting to think ratchet bought his medical degree.
jazz has to be repaired, its as easy as soldering a few wires together and doing some welding…plus an extensive knowledge of cybertronian anatomy. hell, ultra magnus got blown into pieces and some stupid motorcycles put him back together then anything is possible!
Random thoughts:
Damn I thought Shia was annoying at some parts of the movies.
Where the fuck was optimus prime when the fighting was going on at the ending of the movie?(when they were in the streets) Dude just showed up casually like nothing happened.
Damn I knew people had bad aiming but the robots aiming were way off, it was like they was hitting buildings with missiles and no human died from falling rocks and shit…
How many times did we hear SAM in the final sequence of him going to the top of the building…
Did the sound bother anyone else? IMO but the shooting sounded really soft and weak, I wanted some Saving Private Ryan shit when bombs explode, they explodes…
I could bitch and nit pick more but W.e…then again I might latter…
wtf you talking about…i saw madd people get squashed by rocks. alot of people died in that movie and thats pretty much why it was close to a rated r.
