there will be video pausing/glitching for US peeps, b/c US TV use NTSc, the frames /sec are different.
If u have a PC DVd player, there is a way to play pal vids.

Among some of the stuff:

-They (Bay & Co.) are commited to maintaining total secrecy about this project until it hits the screen. We spoke of how there was no surprise factor to Peter Jackson’s King Kong. You knew the whole movie ahead of time. There are some in the team who believe the audience’s first peak of the robots in their normal mode should be when they sit down to watch the movie in the theater (in other words,
**no sneak peak of them in their normal mode in the trailers).
**
-The reasons why they went with a huge long nose truck for OP (BTW, regarding the flames, there is a context for them like Orci pointed out). Bay said they did test with flat noses (FN) for scale purposes, and the FN would only be about 20 to 25 feet tall, so they went with the biggest truck they could find: the Peterbilt. We’re talking 40 to 50 foot tall robots here. The physics for these robots have to be real…aka no magically disappearing parts. Also, OP is going to have much more red than what was shown in the supposedly “leaked” photo.

-Regarding the designers… all I can say is he said they all had to be fans of the show in order to get their jobs.
**
-Regarding the Ludacris rumor…no, he does not have a part in TF**.

On the reissues? Um, no.

Yep. Complete with hilariously awful dub.

SMB · July 14, 2006, 8:33pm

I still haven’t seen that fight. Been dying too.

and warpticon, they may be nearly identical re-issues with some very slight differences what we’re talking about is the amazement in how small these toys are from when we were children.

If you have yet to see the Soundwave/Blaster fight, go to YouTube. It’s there… several times…

Actually, if you search Headmasters, you can get the entire first ep (with no sound and inserted music). While you get no story, you get the chance to see Hound hanging with Hot Rod, Prowl and Smokescreen driving around with Ultra Magnus and Raiden, and Daniel & Wheelie vs. Trypticon.

The first two points are salient because Prowl is confirmed dead at that point and Smokescreen & Hound are assumed dead (we never see them again after the movie). Also, why couldn’t Trypty just squish the annoying two?

really? Is it found under an episode # because I couldn’t find anything by using their names. thx

Kinda underwhelming, to be honest. Seeing the clip makes me really miss the american voices. Japanese voice overs sound so god damned over dramatic. Not to mention that they always say some one’s name like 5 fucking times for no reason. This ALWAYS happens.

I dunno if you guys saw this, but it just cracked me up earlier.

Diek_Stiekem · July 21, 2006, 12:21am

Thundercracker is that you:confused:

So the pallete swap has already begun:lol:

Seems like Ultra Magnus MP-02 all over again…

System_1 · July 21, 2006, 12:47am

what do y’all think of the titanium, rodimus prime,scourge, and soundwave?

FighterX · July 21, 2006, 12:54am

Seems I might be cancelling my MP-03 Screamer pre-order. Gimme anime colors, damnit!

System_1 · July 21, 2006, 5:22am

For you guys talkin about MP SS’s colour, apparently the one I posted is a different scheme then the ‘original’ (think eHobby or something, I guess…)

FighterX · July 21, 2006, 5:30am

I wonder how many people have cancelled pre-orders at this point. I hope enough do to send some signals up at Takara that those colors simply won’t do.

P.Gorath · July 21, 2006, 7:10am

what happened to the ludacris in tf the movie thread? i made an awesome post at the end of it and now the thread is gone. thanks mods

Warpticon · July 21, 2006, 7:53am

I’m almost hoping it’s in those exact colors just for spite.

System_1 · July 21, 2006, 8:04am

From some of the forums Ive been checking out, quite a few of people say theyre gonna cancel theyre pre-orders. I dont care though, its the toy/figure I want, not the colour scheme.
