The designs are too extreme for my taste. They remind me of the newer animated series. And that shot of Bumblebee also reminds me of a Bionicle; alien-looking and overly mechanical. But let’s look at it this way: they *are *alien robots. Michael Bay may not have been the ideal candidate for directing this project, but between Spielberg’s affiliation and the new toyline to coincide with its theatrical release, this movie will do well regardless of the incessant bitching. I’m kinda stoked about it actually. This movie’s going to suffer from Terminator 3 Syndrome: fans are going to be disappointed because they came in with ridiculously high expectations. If you lower your standards a little - and I know for many of us that’ll be difficult - it may not be so bad.
but back to the movie. I hope Pirates 3 comes out the same time so it can shoot down this pile of crap for a movie. Just like Pirates 2 did to Superman
what the flying fuck is that monstrosity? Will he also have multiple voice actors like in the cartoon? Does he have the ninja kick from the “Changing Gears” episode. Does he pack two gats like in the movie? NO! He doesn’t!
I am getting seriously psyched about the ToysRUs exclusive rerelease of G1 Soundwave. It’s going to be available really soon. (December 5th)
I used to have the original release of him, but years ago I was really stupid, and my ‘friend’ talked me into trading him for some lame-ass Pretender. (transformers within an outer shell of an organic humanoid creature)
Anyone else had transformers they traded away, and regret now?
He’s worth the import. Starscream MIGHT get imported. But, nothing has been said so far about it making it stateside. It’s a pretty cool Transformer. My only gripe with it is the lack of diecast metal and the fact that it’s scaled to go along with the Binaltechs(Alternators). So, you know, Starscream is taller than Jazz and crew. But, Prime is like huge compared to Starscream.
He’s got the most shit going on. regular jet mode, supe rjet mode, regular robot(skyfire cartoon), ans super robot mode(G1 jetfire /macross look).
2 projectile missiles and 2 flip out guns, a removable helmet, and light glow eyes
Only nitpick is: his elbows take a **hella **lot of force to move and u can see his arms plain as day in jet mode.
the most number of features, and is an excellent mix of toon and toy models from G1.
rating: 9.8/10
Kickass. I only found him unintentionally when going shopping. Just need Grimlock, and reissue Soundwave and ill be done for the year
