Transformers Thread

Who says Megatron is going to come back? They might just say fuck it lets go with Starscream.

True but then again it FUCKING MEGATRON

I don’t see any reason they going to get rid of Megatron.

Because the casual fan who they are actually marketing the movie to doesnt give a shit about Megatron. He is just another bad guy robot to them.

To me Transformers isn’t Transformers without the main good guy and main bad guy.

It’s like making the movie without Prime.

I’d envision them using some sort of excuse to say that a peice of the cube was still intact in Megs chest and resurected him while making him stronger in some way…

Again you are working under the wrong assumptions. You have to put the fan part aside and look at it from mass marketing. The casual fan doesnt give a shit about Megatron plain and simple. Mind you Megatron still might be in the movie but it wouldnt be a big surprise if he wasnt. In essence what almost every movie based on anything like this ever made is saying, we dont give a shit about you. We want that 17 to 24 yo idiot who listens to whatever the current popular pop music is and has disposable income his parents give him.

I see your point and it’s definately the route a smart movie maker would take. Especially if they plan the next film to be the last film. Doesn’t matter who they satisfy as long as the hype stays hype.

I’m just saying that ressurecting Megatron is not impossible if they REALLY wanted to/cared to do it. It’s not a necessity in any way, but saying it is impossible is pushing it, not only that, but it would piss off hardcore fans. They’d be better off admitting that they just didn’t want to go that route.

I would love to see Galvatron.

yawn. fuck galvatron.
all that means is that they would kill off prime…again. and nobody will be satisfied.

it would be nice to see some more interaction between megs and starscream in the sequel, if any.

…and by super starscream do you mean STAASKUHREEM IN GEE-WUN COLOURS?

So my job recently got the the movie version of Thundercrcker. Looks kinda cool IMO.

Arcee was supposed to be in the first movie but the fans pretty much said fuck that and she was replaced with Ironhide. If they can appease the fans with that, I’m sure they’ll do the same with Megatron.

What?

I know many of you have been wanting an MP quality Magnus that isn’t just a white repaint of Prime. Here he is:

Custon MP-02 Ultra Magnus

Includes an MP Prime. This thing is huge too.

A little bit of an eBay peeve although I’m sure you’ve all come across this. I love it when a seller describes a figure(s) as COMPLETE and in the next sentence they say ā€œThe only items missing areā€¦ā€

Awesome, but way too pricey.

Does anyone kow if there’s ever been a size chart for TF’s? We all know the toys are hella’ inconsistant in their height (example: Prime is a standard big rig but in bot mode he’s like 90 feet tall yet Scorpinok is a base/giant scorpion but in bot mode he’s just as tall), I’m curious to see approximately how tall they are compared to one another.

unless earth can yo-yo the moon like primus I dont think earth can defend itself too well

Try this.

Yeah, that’s pretty much it. But aren’t the Dinobots a little too big? They certainly weren’t depicted as being that large in the cartoons.

And who’s profile is that standing next to Devastator in the bottom left page? That’s not Headmaster Prime, is it?

#6 wit Cheese: wtf? how did Starscream get so big? He’s fighting Primus, right? He’s Unicron’s equal or something like that, right? I didn’t watch this series.

I probably paid a little too much, but I bought Computron yesterday for $100 minus S&H. Good condition. Only missing the individual weapons for the Technobots, which doesn’t matter all that much since I’ll be displaying the lot as Computron.

So, question: have you had anyone give you shit for collecting TF? If so, how did you respond to them?

That’s about what they should be. The Dinobots are supposed to be quite large. I’m always surprised at just how much bigger their toys are than I remember.

The price you paid was…alright. It will depend on the amount of yellowing on the plastic. Did you get Strafe’s two main cannons? Those are a small fortune to buy seperately and are actually a part of Computron’s combined form.

I paid $125 for a 100% complete set of Technobots. The problem you’re going to find is that if you go back for parts serperately, you’ll find they’re between $5-15 bucks a piece (sometimes over 20 for Strafe’s). Vintage buying is really tough man. Especially nowadays.

No, they didn’t come with the dual cannons and I see what you mean. It’s ridiculous the amount of S&H you have to pay for 2 very light pieces of plastic. LOL, I could just make my own out of Apoxie sculpt.

On the left is Raiden, on the right is of course, Predaking.
