A Transformers Thread

So the Autobots have eyebrows but no nose. That's going to take some getting used to. (Prime might had have the same thing, but I don't remember.)

One of the Autobots kind of looks like Prime Smokescreen. Is that him or somebody else?

Hello, new kid human. If this is sequel series, are we going to find out what happened to the previous series's humans?

Maybe, and maybe not.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, Prime had eyebrows on the bots but no noses.

Got my Generations Rattrap today, I hope they add another BW Predacon to the Generations line up to balance things out. Hope its a Deluxe Terrorsaur.

That's Strongarm. The Maybe a Lady maybe Not.

I sort of see it, but then again, they all have identical faces to begin with. So I don't know how much that is feminine as opposed to say, trying to give him more youthful expressions.

...Terrorsaur? Really? Did anyone... ever... care about him?

Well I wanted a Predacon and a Season 1 character (which eliminates Quickstrike, Rampage (though I hope he gets picked for the 20th Anniversary), and Dinobot 2 and the Transmetal forms).

Waspinator has his toy and Megatron's 10th Anniversary toys cover him as far as I'm concerned, which leaves...

Inferno-Want it, but I don't see it happening to avoid the formation of "Colonies" again.

Scorponok-People care even less about Scorpy then Terrorsaur from what I can tell.

Tarantulas-Like Megatron I personally feel his 10th Anniversary toy was good enough

Blackarachnia-I admit if anyone was deserving of a new toy it'd be her, but she's not one I'm immediately interested in.

However Terrorsaur would fit best IMO given he and Waspinator are "buddies" like Rhinox and Rattrap are.

On a separate note: I recently found this on youtube, unless I'm mistaken that is Peter Cullen the voice of Optimus Prime narrating the hauntings of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on "Places of Mystery". That is awesome.

(Watches first minutes of You Tube video.)

Hey, that does sound like Peter Cullen…

(Skips to the credits.)

Holy crap! That really was Peter Cullen!

You've got a good ear, buddy!

Whoever decided to hire him as a narrator must've been a huge fan of his or something.

Regardless, wow.

Having Peter Cullen's voice makes this Paranormal Investigation of Gettysburg 100 times more patriotic then any other by having him narrate it.

I don't mind the visual design of the new show, but the frame rate is giving me headaches. If it was a little smoother I would have no qualms about it, except maybe the spiked "hair" on the red Autobot.

It doesn't appear to be a one time thing either, here's another episode Haunted Alcatraz.

Might just be because it's unfinished.

There's an Asia re-release of MP-10 (Masterpiece Optimus) coming in October. Includes the trailer, and none of the stupid gold of the YOTH version. It's the hasbro release, so he comes with Spike, the axe, the matrix, Roller (in the G1 Blue color), along with the aforementioned trailer. Also includes an as of yet unidentified "Special Premium" item not included with previous releases.

As the re-sell value for MP-10 Hasbro version with trailer can go to 200 to 400 $, at 159$ + shipping, this is practically a steal.

Oh sweet.

...and pre-ordered.

This crossover happened.

As I recall, the spinoff manga ended with the Autobots discovering the true nature of the EV As, and Optimus tears into NERV because Gendo has a lot to answer for. Also, Starscream merges with an Angel or something.

There's a manga of this?

It was three online text stories, not manga. The summary of each is on the same site as that link.

Mind you, those stories do a lot of things to make Evangelion more interesting (not like it's hard). Like never featuring Shinji at all.

I genuinely sure Shinji wouldn't mind not being involved in that cluster fuck that is the Evangelion story.

So really, there are no losers in this. Shinji doesn't end up fucking the world, and is left in peace, and the Transformers save the whole fucking planet like they always do.

Win Win.

Somebody mind helping me out? In the Follow in My Footsteps trope, we have this entry:

In "Duplicity" Megatron wanted Will to be this until Will ran away and Never Found the Body came into play.

Anyone know which continuity that entry is referring to? Tfwiki isn't helping.

... None that I can think of... Maybe a fanfic?

Searching Fanfiction.net did turn up a fanfic of that name with Lennox in it, so it might be from there. Too lazy to read the fanfic to see if it fits or not, but if it fits, then that entry needs to be placed in the fanfic tag instead.

Holy Fudge, Masterpiece Star Sabre◊ is HUGE (Look compared to MP 10 behind him)

Well, my friend was given a copy of Headmasters, so we watched the fourth episode. (I was in a Eject mood.) We found ourselves incredibly bored. From my understanding, Masterforce and Victory are better, is that true? Because my friend showed interest in getting those two series.

Ish? Maybe?

Masterforce and Victory are... for lack of a better word, very Japanese. Meaning the focus is heavily on the humans (In Masterforce, the main Transformers are little more than Powered Armour / Mechs for the humans to use). And that's without going into stuff like BURNING JUSTICE!!!!!!!. Headmaster is the closest in tone and format to a Western Transformers show.

It doesn't make them bad per say, but it's a taste thing, they are very unlike the Transformers you are used to in the west. I know some people who swear by them, others find it terrible.

Speaking of Victory, Takara released images of Masterpiece Star Saber, and he does come with the Brainmaster gimmick.
