Next step - painting his face silver.

I didn’t get a chance to watch transformers when I was younger and the one on Cartoon Network makes it look so cheezy.They turned Optimus into Megazord!

anyone get the Screamer and Prime protoforms. Been out for a week now. Not too bad, I was expecting them to be hard since they looked liked nothing I would know how to transform like a car. But they were pretty easy, yet smaller than expected.

Gonna grab Screamer when I can, no point in rushing since they are everywhere at the moment.

FighterX: That looks really sweet. :lovin:

I finally saw the Transformers live action movie toys in the store, and man I was disappointed. They look like cheap knockoffs!

^Yeah they look like shit.

With all these pictures of transformers i had to show my rodimus of course…lol dont mind the shinigami in the back…lol

Currently trying to cop that jetfire.

TF Titaniums are next to impossible to find at retail in SoCal. I’ve been trying to locate Ultra Magnus with no luck anywhere.

Fighter X: Damn nice looking Thunderhonky you made there. So do you sell your customs on Ebay like many others do or do you keep them?

^I can’t find Ultra Magnus online or in stores. Not the WWI, but the G1 Magnus.

Thanks!

Nope, I don’t sell anything on ebay or elsewhere. That’s the first and only custom I’ve ever made.

not sure anybody posted this but…

some nice hi-res pics from the transformers movie…

I had not seen that yet but I am loving the fact that the put the old Transforming sound back in. At leas tit looks that way from the trailer on that site.

WTF? Why are they posed like they belong on a cover of Spider-Man? TF’s never did dumb shit like that… just when I was starting to see some slight glimmer of hope in there too.

I’m not one of the Transformers: The Movie haters, but these designs (most of them) are just bad. Not bad as in ā€œthey arent like my beloved G1’s!ā€, but bad as in they just look too busy. If more of the parts were solid, it would look awesome (like some of the images of the toys I’ve seen). But what I keep seeing from the film, they just have way too many lines, and wires, and crap visualy showing all over. Hard to tell a nail, from an eye.

With that said, they do look better on Paper - http://flickr.com/photos/burndiego/493413138/

Lord, I wish they could have did them all like Transformers: Alternators.

They really haven’t hit retail yet.

It should be soon, but they won’t saturate for another few weeks.

I heard initial rumors that Bay was considering the Alt line but decided it was too toy like and not ā€œalien enoughā€. Who knows if was even true at anytime but it would have made a lot more fans happy. to see some truthful representation up there.

I don’t even think that Bay would have even bothered…there would be too many licensing issues.

Random randoms post.

I found this article very awesome, and funny - http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Scale

Everyones favorite Pixel Artist, nickkelsch’s Transformers Icon Site - http://nickkelsch.com/transformers/ He hasnt stopped updating YET. Still keeps the awesome icon’s coming.

Shamless plug - http://flickr.com/photos/burndiego My flickr account, with alot of cool, rare (some of them) Transformers artwork, some official, most fan. Great hi-res quality (again, most of them), aswell. I constantly update that too.

EDIT: And I think the ā€œneed to make them more alienā€ thing was just an excuse to take liberties with the Transformers, and just make a giant alien robot, ā€œblow everything upā€ flick to cash-in on the Transformers popularity.

I guess it remains to be seen. Binaltech/Alternators like designs would have been a MUCH better call.

That crappy store is in my local mall. haha

My friend’s import toy store rapes that place for free. =)
