I have to say the best Transformers series I’ve seen was Beast Wars. Though the older ones were good as well. The newer ones (in my opinion) aren’t as good as Beast Wars. Btw, I was watching G4 Tech Tv. and they were talking about Transformers, and what they showed at one point was a guy who made a Hot Shot costume that you could actually connect together (while still inside the costume I might add) to transform into the vehicle form (with wheels). 
WHERE THE FUCK CAN I GET THAT?!
I’d be slightly more excited if I a) didn’t have a Galvatron, and b) didn’t realize he’s a fairly shitty toy. But a lot of G1s are like that, so such is life.
does anyone have any transformers victory/masterforce/superlink etc. bootleg dvds? Id like to buy some at wizard world but I need to know how the quality is,this would help alot
Somebody reccomend me some badass remixes of the main theme. For some reason, I have to urge to hunt some down.
Are there any transformers games that were only released in japan for ps1 or ps2?
IIRC there was a TF G1 game for Jpn PS2 only, but i dont know much about it.
Hey thanks man! That was bad ass.

Its kinda like a third-person shooter if I remember right, and apparently it wasnt too great of a game, but Im not sure. Ive only seen a couple clips of it, looked pretty decent from my point of view.
I am pretty sure there was a recently released (within two or three years) Transformers game that was said to be pretty damn decent for PS2.
Also a rental only Beast Wars fighting game on N64.
yeah i have the transmetals beast wars game, it also came out for psx (i believe its the same as the n64 one). It is really, REALLY crappy
I just watched the first five episodes of the Headmasters Series from Japan. It seems confusing, as it doesn’t follow the events of the last G1 mini series.
SPOILERS
The Headmasters aren’t humans that merge with Transformers.
Hotrod is always called Rodimus.
Prime dies again.
Where are the transformers that have the transforming guns?
Yep, and he dies in the gayest fashion too. And gotta love the final battle to the death between Blaster and Soundwave, where they both get killed, only to come as Twincast and Soundblaster aka repaints. lol
And yes folks, Grimlock is still Grimlock even in the Japanese version, and Triptacon is still a retard.
hugs his Pioneer Headmasters R2 box
I just got this bad boy at otakon. Cost a pretty penny, but it’s a lot more detailed that the american one, and is made of die-cast metal instead of plastic. Very nice.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who really likes Beast Wars. It was very well written, and the character development is deep.
I don’t have many of the toys anymore, but I do have a collection of every Transmetal figure released in the US (not the recolors though), and those are some great toys.
However, Alternators > all other TF toys. The detail on them is great
Transformers: Tatakai for PS2. It’s all G1, and plays a lot like Dynasty Warriors, you pick one transformer from an unlockable selection of 30 or so, and 2 computer controlled teammates. You fight stages of clones in really strange environments, and then take on major characters as boss battles. Also, there are really gay mine sequesnces where you have a very short amount of time to push through a section of a level with floating mines EVERYWHERE, and one hit juggles you into a shitload of others, making that particular lifebar void. In general, it’s like many Japanese games, very lackluster. However, because its Transformers, I played the shit out of it. :pleased: There’s a toy mde to transform in 3D all the old toys, with cool animations and tech specs. The story is decent for a transformer game, with plausible but noticibly diffent voice actors(Soundwave sounded spot on, as did Wheeljack), which is all in English. In fact, once you turn on the english sub-titles in the soundtrack, the game is much more American-friendly. You level up stats as you play, but can never max out or save maxed characters from different plays, so it annoys the completist in me. Also, playing a transformer means choosing only ONE transformation, so in the case of triple-changers, you have your robot form, and one of your vehicle or beast forms, complete with different attacks and specials.
Obviously, Optimus as your main, with Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus as assistants rocks all forms of ass in the Autobots storyline. I use all different characters for the Decepticon half of the game.
Annoyingly, the game is only 1-player. It’s still addictive to push farther and see all your favorite transformers in action, how their powers translate to a game and to each other, etc. The boss battle toward the end, where you fight HUGE 3v1 battles on gestalt teams like Predaking(where Optimus is as tall as Predaking’s knee ferchrissakes) or base transformers like the T-Rex/city Trypticon are orgasmic.
It’s a shitty game, seriously. But its the best Transformers game ever made, for Transformers fans. I recommend it.
It sucks.
Someone got super fucking high when they wrote this show.
Its all some hippy commune with nature nonsense.
How the fuck are robots gonna commune with nature?
STUPID!
The reason IMO most people hate it is because it’s supposed to be a direct continuation from Beast Wars, and they took all the characters left over from the original show, and turned them into bitches devoid of any personality. That, and they completely bastardize the continuity of the series while coming up with the dumbest plot conceivable. Oh, and the show is so politically correct it makes you sick.
Which series were produced in Japan and not?
Because that Headmasters doesn’t seem like it follows the continuity of the American one, as Daniel didn’t need to wear his exosuit or transforms, Spike doesn’t transform into Fortress Maximus’s head and the transformers with the guns that transform into humans weren’t in it.
And after the Headmaster’s toy line, wasn’t there a new Optimus and toy line that had some enhanced engine’s or something.
