If the person voicing jazz isn’t black, the terrorists have won.
I wonder how different the Transformers would be if they’d been dreamed up now, instead of 1984?
– Megatron would be a glock.
– Would Soundwave be an iPod?
– If no more cassette bots, what about Alt. modes for Laserbeak, Rumble, and Ravage? Would it be like a cell phone, Blackberry, and GPS unit?
– Reflector would be a digital camera, of course.
– Bumblebee…VW Bugs aren’t that popular these days. …Mini Cooper, perhaps?
– Then would Jazz be an Escalade?
– Instead of a microscope, I’m thinking Perceptor would turn into a notebook, with instant access to Google, Wikipedia, and perhaps MySpace (“Prime! It says on Megatron’s MySpace that he’s going to attack the city power plant!”
Perceptor could be an MRI machine…for robots.
soundwave as an Ipod LOL, naw, it would be better to turn him into some type of IPod ‘stand’ then turn the casste bots into IPod minis or nano’s. Heh since Apples are always good guys, that means the autobot version acutally should be an IPod, and soundwave should be a Zune…LMAO.

I know this is taking things way too seriously, but if Transformers was imagined from scratch today, you wouldn’t have a Megatron or a Soundwave. The only reason figures like that were in the line is because they came from the existing lines the original G1 figures were taken from. So, you’d end up with all vehicles and the occasional fortress or city-bot, but no size-changing anomalies like those guys.
Rumors go that Will Smith will voice him…
yeah rumor is he auditioned for it but that’s it
Bumblebee can’t officially be a “Volkswagen” because they refuse to lend the name to any toy that represents a soldier, or a warrior.
paranoia about WWII, and the fact that VW has ties to the Nazi Party.
which is why, when they make new Bumblebee figures, they’re careful not to mention that, and the recent Classics figure was a different type of vehicle altogether (I can’t remember what it is actually, but it’s some Italian car)
The more I see the designs, the more they grow on me. I’m really considering getting that Leader Prime and I picked up a Prime keychain today.
This movie is gonna be sick. Easily my most anticipated movie of the year.
Somebody should tell me that MP-02 (Ultra Magnus) is as awesome as I think he is so that I feel more justified in spending $160 on him.
Pics of the MP-03 based customs Thundercracker and Skywarp here. Pretty awesome.
I hadn’t checked up on the new bots in a while – there’s some crazy stuff out there. I want a Zune convoy. :tup:
i though it was more a mixture of lots of different subcompacts: a mini, civic, toyota matrix have seemingly similar elemnts to classics bumblebee imo…
I originally wasnt gonna buy any movie toys, but i like th elook o fblackout, bonecrusher, and ironhide.
I also want to pick up the laserbeak/mp3 and the dig camera guy. anyone buy those?
I heard Ludacris was gonna be in this movie. Anybody else know about this?
that was a rumor i posted myself a while back. It hasnt been verified by any source tho.
only 3 voices have been cast definitely.
Peter Cullen- optimus prime
Hugo weaving- Megatron
Keith David - Barricade
Well the comicbook version of the movie is out i saw it at the book store today and i had to take a peek in side it looked very interesting to get a basic ideia on how the movie well play out and the ending left it very open for a sequel and they also explain where the word autobot comes from and all this time am thinking it was automobile + robots = AUTOBOTS !! they exlain this in a different fasion, well i dont want to give away to much you would have to pick up the book or wait to see the movie~!!..
Okay, I just saw a short preview for the movie while watching Smackdown, and Im fuckin PUMPED for this movie. Yeah, its not my ‘ideal’ TF movie, but holy FUCK I cant wait to see it.
Looked over the movie toy display at Wal-Mart. Lusted after it all. It just all looks so fun! cry I can’t buy anything until after BotCon, though.
Hugo weaving is cool, but Megatron? I think not.
Then again the monstrosity in the movie is not really megatron anyway, just some ugly, ridiculously designed, scrap-metal turd with megs name slapped onto him. Of all the movie-bot designs, ‘megatron’ is the worst.
He makes Bonecrusher and Swindle look Good!
I saw the big Movie Prime toy ($40) and the Target-exclusive Movie Prime toy ($20). They both look so awesome… I want to get one, but I couldn’t decide… They both have some differences in the way they look, but both have their own unique advantages… UURG… I’m too cheap to want to buy both…
truck modes
robot modes
Hmm, I think I will decide on getting the bigger one.
Figures on my must-buy list:
Jazz
Bumblebee
Blackout
Ironhide
Brawl
Bonecrusher
I don’t know if I want any larger-scale figures (outside of Blackout)…leader prime is nice, but way too pricey for my tastes.
