Transformers Thread

Hah I got Ironhide on the quiz :tup:

Could some one pm me the list of voice actors? As well as the people who where original voices…plz

Re your first question, do you mean the voice actors for the new movie? B/c we only know 1 so far Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime. They may announce so more within the next few months.

If by original , you mean the 80’s cartoon (known as Generation 1(G1) Transformers)

here’s tv.com. cast list… Almost 70 actors for this show? Crazy… as opposed to what 10-15 max nowadays…

I got Megatron.

I am powerful and cool.

Im SOUNDWAVE

The movie Megatron design looks evil and vile, but man does it stray away from what the fans are used to Megs as. If only they could get Mr. Welker to be his voice, then Megatron could transform into a pink My Little Pony and still be badass.

the heavily rumored front runners for Megs in the movie are Welker and Hugo Weaving apprently.

Hugo Weaving =king of fanboy projects apprently.
He was Agent Smith in MAtrix trilogy, Elrond in LOTR, and V in ā€œV for Vendettaā€.

First pics of tf movie **Blackout ** toy

Apparently, scorponok is transforms out of one of his compartments. I guess they were trying to give him a soundwave -esque ability carrying minions into battle…

I love my Masterpiece Starscream.

I hate the guy who decided he should be colored olive green.

I’m sorta considering painting him white. Keep in mind that I’m no expert painter, hobby or otherwise. Should I just leave well enough alone, or go for it? Does anyone know of someone who attempted this?

or you could wait for the inevitable Hasbro repaint into a G1 esque color scheme…

Never painted a TF, so i cant help you there man…

IDW Galvatron spotlight comic cover art by Alex Milne…

a bit busy looking, but neat…

conceptual drawings of movie Megatrons arm weapon and his vehicle mode…

yes a Galvatron issue but that art work looks very unique compared to all of IDW’s other TF works

Anyone remember what site had Star Convoy on for 50 bucks?

ooh, I’d like a $50 Star Convoy!

any place I can get Star Saber for cheap too, would be great…I dunno if they did a reissue, but there’s a Robot Masters version, and I ain’t picky…

On the Classics Front: Still looking for Jetfire, but I’ve got the following:

Starscream
Astrotrain
Hot Rod
Bumblebee (The coolest update ever!)
and
Grimlock

Grimlock has a lot of issues…he’s got these…flaps…that fold down from his neck, that are supposed to clip into the tops of his arms, but they’re not molded right, to hold them in place…so, there’s nothing securing his arms…

it doesn’t detract from the look of the toy, and it’s not floppy, it’s just an issue they should’ve fixed at the design phase.

Also, many people are displeased with the visible screws in the front of his shoulders (yet they don’t seem to have a problem with visible screws on Unicron, so that’s just nitpicky…)people have taken it apart and switched them around, but really, it’s a matter of preference…you either have to stare at 'em in Robot Mode, or in Dino Mode…because in one form or another, they’ll face forward…

still love the figure, though…

good luck finding Jetfire. That toy is bad ass, even my g/f knows that. For she wanted to open him up right away and she even tfed him for me lol.

I saw him at Wal-Mart about a week ago, but couldn’t afford it, and he’s nowhere now…

I WILL find one eventually…he’s def. badass…got Titanium Scourge tonight…the Sweeps rock

Behold…Optimash Prime…

I guess if any of y’all have little ones who are TF fans…
Hear that? It’s the sound of the TF movie merchandise juggernaut headcrushing its way into our pocketbooks lol…

Optimash Prime, eh?

I dunno, have you ever smelled Mr. Potato Head’s ass cavity?

Transformers plush dolls.

They fold inward to become their vehicle mode apparently…
